Space Coast

Redfish, spotted seatrout, and flounder are the top three species today. The new moon and strong 3.9 foot tide swing are pushing fish to feed harder, and the light SSW wind makes it easy to work the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River, and Port Canaveral. Keep in mind flounder harvest is closed statewide, so any flounder you catch must be released. The best fishing window is the major solunar period from 12:17 PM to 2:17 PM, with the high tide peaking at 8:42 AM. You can also try the minor window from 6:47 AM to 7:47 AM. Watch the sky this afternoon because there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 PM, so plan to fish early and head in if storms build. Tip: Fish the moving water around the tide change for the best action on redfish and trout.
