Port Canaveral Charter Fishing Guide Service

Deep Sea Fishing offshore Florida's East Coast Brevard County and Space Coast Big Game Fishing for Kingfish, Grouper and Snapper.

Canaveral is famous for it's abundant sealife and sprawling continental shelf that juts out almost 35 miles east of Port Canaveral before spiraling down to the depths of the Gulf Stream and then to the outer canyons some 100 miles or so beyond the shoreline.

A typical day of fishing around Canaveral's shoals, ridges and wrecks will offer live baiting for king mackerel, amberjack and often the elusive cobia. During the spring run when the water temperature rises, the cobia migration is second to none off Port Canaveral's beaches. If the bottom fishing is cooperating, the snapper and grouper is always a good bet with anglers if they can "turn the handle Randel", which is our way of motivating our anglers to PULL THAT FISH IN before it swims in a hole and breaks you off.

During transition months in spring and fall you'll find dorado or mahi mahi, sailfish and other peligics making their way though Canaveral's indigo blue waters as they migrate up and down the coastline.

Departing Port Canaveral you'll take notice it's rock jetties and light house peering out to the Atlantic. Schools of Jack Crevalle swim anxiously around the water seeking to trounce on prey like piranha. On the buoy line you can seasonally sightfish for cobia and tripletail, while the more adventurous push further offshore for king mackerel, wahoo, mahi-mahi, sailfish and marlin. Pleasure has no boundaries here... there is something for everyone from the novice to the expert angler, Port Canaveral has the most fishing excitement anywhere!

Looking for information about fishing the Port Canaveral area and it's offshore angling opportunities in Central Florida? Call (321) 868-4953 and Ask for Captain Richard or his fishing mate Captain Gina. They'll be more than glad to talk to you in length about setting up a fishing trip while you're visiting the area.

Port Canaveral Fishing Reports

January 2009 King Mackerel Fishing Update

Listening to the VHS radio this morning as I launch in the Banana River lagoon for a fantastic day of inshore fishing I hear my charter captain buddies, Brock, Stanley and Brent chatting about splitting up to find the king mackerel that seemed to have disappeared yesterday. I have compassion for these guys as wintertime charters have been difficult to secure as weather and conditions have made their living inconsistant (darn that weatherman). As for me, I just turn to the lagoons nearby and take any my charters out for a day of wintertime sea trout or redfishing in the calmer lagoons. January can be challenging when the weather doesn't cooperate, but it can be one of the best times of the year as mid winter sets in and in-between fronts can produce great catches in the lagoon and ocean.
BUT... This is not an inshore report, it's an offshore king mackerel report and as such I'll try and keep on track. I rarely venture offshore during January unless we have an Indian Summer that often occurs during January, As January unfolds it can be the mildest month of the winter and the ocean can be alive with life from heavy kingfish bites on the ridges to cobia popping up on the surface. This January has seen some great cobia fishing already between fronts and off and on again king mackerel fishing with hope of some awesome mackerel fishing preceeding fronts. January of 2009 has also been producing some pretty good bottom fishing for those anglers wanting some variety in their offshore fishing trip as red snapper and grouper have been somewhat of a steady catch too. As for king mackerel this January... If the weatherman gives a good report, you will usually fare very well of Port Canaveral with offshore fishing for king mackerel.

January 2009 Tripletail Fishing Update

January is an unusual month in Florida and much of the southeast as it can be the coldest month or the warmest month of the winter. If it's the latter than it could be a really good month for targeting tripletail outside of Port Canaveral. Typically there's an Indian Summer that comes sometime in January and there is a short window of opportunity to get out and pull a few fish from structures close in toward the beaches. Calm water and warm water during this month can be the ticket for incoming tripletail on weedlines and an angler only needs to know how and where to be successful in the hunt for Tripletail in January. This January's looking to be a mixed bag of weather with a few opportunities for getting out of Port Canaveral. Ask your guide to look for these conditions and see if he can produce a good day of fishing when the weather is calm enough and the temperatures are high during next few weeks. If the weather doesn't cooperate, look to go inward towards the Banana River Lagoon or Indian River Lagoon to catch some nice redfish or spotted sea trout as this is the month for those two species to start gearing up for the spring spawn and staging in traditional haunts.

January fishing out of Port Canaveral can be one of the best things an angler or person can do while visiting our area. You'll enjoy January's weather and if the ocean's not cooperating the inshore fishing usually is... so whether it's a day offshore for deep sea bottom fish or trolling for that Big Game opportunity, you're sure to have a great time on the water with our professional charter fishing captains.

Don't take my word for it... Call me today and we'll do our best to make the best day of fishing out of Port Canaveral possible. Captain Gina
