Overall April was pretty busy and we caught fish in spite of continued windy conditions. Curt Jacobs and his sons Connor and Brett caught redfish, trout and ladyfish, saw dolphin and generally had a good time. Both of these young men fished hard the whole trip and their casting ability was great. My main target for the month was trout and they were better than average on size. Large “gator” trout, snook and redfish are continuing to show up in numbers along the entire lagoon system and they are extremely active early in the morning. Mullet and glass minnows are the primary forage at this time with plastic jerk baits like the 5" SW Assassin rigged weed less on a 4/0 or 5/0 offset hook being a perfect imitator. Skitter Walks and Skitter Pops also work well to produce these fish. Tarpon will start showing up at the end of the month in numbers, but the Sebastian River has some juveniles roaming the South fork along with Jacks. Both of these fish are known for hard fights that can outlast some anglers. Redfish are starting to school in the Banana River and this will continue throughout the summer. You will see them In Titusville as well along with black drum and trout, so booking now will guarantee you an opportunity to get in on some of the best fishing action around!
