Dang!!! I've got guests coming in town this weekend, so I'm locked down. I'm in Orlando so I'll give you a shout next time I'm headed that way. Looking at some other forums I've been curious about paddling into the port at Canaveral and heading under the drawbridge towards the locks or heading out to the ocean. Have you ever fished this area before?

Long paddle to the ocean...... Lots of jacks (and dolphins that eat them) near the locks. There are large rocks lining the entrance to the port that hold fish. Be careful in the port, there are lots of areas to get into that will earn you a long chat with a law enforcement type.

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
I've fished just outside the locks but never inside. I'll keep in touch and let you know when I'm headed that way. We may be able to link up.
Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
If you wanna fish the ocean Ive found it best to go out of Ponce Inlet, or just push off of the beach, I have some good luck doing that. I would be up for some fishing towards the middle/end of next month and going into the fall, PM me if you wanna get together.

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
I have never has my kayak in anything but the river or lakes. I see some folks drag them down the beach at Playalinda but that looks too much like work to me!!
I'm up to fishing anytime....wouldn't mind going out in the ocean if there's a decent launch site.

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
Playalinda is my prefered launch site, most people don't like it because the waves tend to crash harder there than at some other beaches

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
Well, I'm extending an invite to anyone who'd like to fish on Sunday morning....depending, of course, on the weather. I think Tomboy might want to show off Thousand Islands in Cocoa Beach. I've never been there so I would really look forward to it.
Lets keep an eye on Irene and see what happens.

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
I'm in and happy to be the guide if 1000 sounds good. How 'bout the crack of dawn at Ramp Road Park. Take fifth street in Cocoa Beach west til it deadends. Turn left and then almost immediate right onto, surprisingly, Ramp Road. Park is at the end of the street. PM me for my phone # if you are unsure of directions.
If you can't be good, be enthusiastic!

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
Cool...I'm in....looks like Irene is going to give us a wink and keep moving away from us. I guess sunrise is right close to 7 a.m. so lets meet at that time. I am usually looking to paddle in by 10:30ish with this heat.
Looking forward to it unless something changes.

See you then unless the weather is crappy. Send me a quick PM Saturday night if we need to call if off. I am not any kind of weather predictor.

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
How did it go? Did anyone get lost back there? How was the post fishing beer?

Re: Fishing Brevard - Indian River - Mosquito Lagoon
MOrning on the water at Manatee Cove is always beautiful. Caught a couple trout and there were plenty of "tails" but they wouldn't take anything.....should always bring a crap or two with me...they were "heads in the mud" and could care less what was swimming around them, tomboy finally hit one with a lure and it didn't even bother it.
I've got the next two Sunday's open for some fishing over here if anyone wants to join up....give me a shout.

I live over here in Orlando now for school..I fish the lagoon/river twice a week. Been having great success the past few trips, with nice fish from 27-36in. Have only caught 2 over 40in since ive been over here. If anyone is in the pursuit of the giants as I am, PM me.
