Fish Tales

Port Canaveral's inshore waters are teeming with a variety of sought-after species. Let's break down some of the local favorites you might encounter on your trip:

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are a staple of Florida inshore fishing. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, snook love to hang around structure like docks and mangroves. They're most active in the warmer months, making summer and early fall prime time for snook fishing. The challenge of outsmarting these crafty predators keeps anglers coming back for more.

Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a blast to catch on light tackle. Redfish are famous for their distinctive tail, often visible above the water as they feed in shallow flats. They put up a great fight and are delicious on the dinner table (if you choose to keep your catch). Fall is typically the best time to target big bull reds, but you can find them year-round in Port Canaveral.

Bluefish: Don't let their size fool you - these toothy critters punch well above their weight class when it comes to fighting spirit. Bluefish often travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. They're most abundant in the cooler months, from late fall through early spring. Anglers love targeting blues for their aggressive strikes and the challenge they present on light tackle.

Spotted Seatrout: These speckled beauties are a favorite among light tackle enthusiasts. Seatrout are known for their delicate bite and tend to school up over grass flats and around oyster bars. They're available year-round but tend to be most active in the cooler months. Trout fishing is a great way to introduce newcomers to inshore angling, as they're often willing biters and put up a nice fight on light gear.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about inshore fishing in Port Canaveral that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of sight fishing for tailing reds in gin-clear water, or the heart-stopping moment when a big snook crushes your topwater lure. Perhaps it's the variety - one minute you're finessing trout with soft plastics, the next you're battling a bruiser bluefish that's trying to shake the hook. Or it could be the laid-back vibe of cruising through scenic waterways, pelicans diving nearby, with the iconic Kennedy Space Center as your backdrop. Whatever your reason, our 6-hour trip gives you plenty of time to soak it all in.
