Spring Bites, Red Snapper, and Space Coast Hot Spots

Fishing out of Port Canaveral is heating up as spring rolls into summer. Warmer waters and clear skies are bringing a wide range of species closer to shore, giving anglers plenty of opportunities for action. Offshore: The mahi-mahi bite has been strong in 120–250 feet of water, especially near weed lines and temperature breaks. Trolling ballyhoo or squid rigs has produced solid results. Kingfish are showing up around the reefs and ledges, and a few sailfish have also been reported by boats pushing farther out. Red snapper are holding steady on natural bottom and deeper structure—while the season is limited, catch-and-release fishing has been excellent. Amberjack and grouper are active on the wrecks, giving offshore anglers plenty of hard-pulling targets. Nearshore & Inshore: Cobia are cruising along the beaches and around the buoys—look for rays and turtles to spot them on the surface. Tarpon are beginning to show up at the mouth of the port and around the jetties. Live mullet and crabs are getting the job done. In the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River, redfish and sea trout are biting early in the morning, especially on soft plastics and live shrimp. Jetty & Pier Action: The jetties have been productive for sheepshead, black drum, and snook. Cut bait and live shrimp are your best bets. Spanish mackerel are still moving through, providing fast-paced fun for shore anglers tossing spoons and jigs. Tip of the Week: Early mornings and tide changes have been key for inshore success. Offshore, keep an eye out for floating debris and birds—fast-moving mahi are close behind.

Our day on the water with Capt. Mike was truly remarkable—an epitome of an enjoyable charter. Mike ensured that everything was perfect for our trip. From the outset, it was non-stop action with plenty of big fish. If you're looking to catch a grouper or the fish of a lifetime, book Fish Junkie Charters; you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to do it again, Capt. Mike! Until next time.

July 5, 2025

The fishing was excellent, and we will certainly book again. My son had an unforgettable experience!

July 5, 2025

Captain Mathis is not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a successful fishing trip, with backup plans in place in case our initial strategy didn't go as planned. I highly recommend him as the captain for your next deep-sea fishing adventure.

July 5, 2025

Incredible, enjoyable, professional, and friendly—I would recommend them to anyone, and I plan to return myself.

July 5, 2025

Captain Mike was fantastic. With three of us on the boat, he expertly guided us to some impressive Red Snapper catches. In total, we reeled in four huge Red Snappers, along with a variety of other species like mackerel, kingfish, mangrove snapper, and grouper. Beyond the great catches, what stood out was the amazing experience we had. Captain Mike is not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely cares about his fishermen—a rare quality in my experience. Thanks, Captain Mike!

Captain Mike is an incredible individual, a skilled angler, and family-oriented. My kids and I had a fantastic time. It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. If you're looking for a wonderful fishing getaway, I highly recommend booking with Captain Mike!
