Background
John – Kayak Fishing Guide With 10+ years fishing Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, I specialize in motorized and pedal-drive kayak trips from Wabasso to Melbourne. I’ll put you on fish while sharing the wildlife and hidden waters that make this place unforgettable. I’m John, the guide behind JP Kayak Fishing and Tours. For over a decade, I’ve been exploring the Indian River Lagoon — from Wabasso up to Melbourne — chasing Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, and whatever else bends a rod. Kayak fishing hooked me years ago because it’s the most intimate, quiet way to fish — no engine roar, just the sound of your paddle and the sight of tailing fish in the shallows. Over time, I’ve learned every hidden flat, mangrove cut, and channel where the fish like to feed. I run custom motorized 11.5’ Perception kayaks (with pedal drives available) so you can cover water with ease while still keeping the stealth that makes kayak fishing so effective. Whether it’s your first time in a kayak or you’re chasing your personal best, I tailor each trip to your skill level and goals. For me, guiding is more than putting clients on fish — it’s about sharing the wildlife, sunrises, and local secrets that make these waters special. If you’re ready for a fishing trip that’s personal, hands-on, and unforgettable, I’d be honored to show you my home waters.
Techniques
I specialize in kayak-friendly techniques on mangroves, docks, and flats to put you on Redfish, Snook, Trout, and more — adapting every trip to the conditions and your skill level. I focus on kayak-friendly techniques that let you experience the thrill of sight-fishing and stealthy approaches while targeting the incredible species of Grant-Valkaria and Melbourne Beach: • Mangroves: Skip-cast under overhanging branches and into hidden pockets where Snook and Redfish love to hide. Perfect for close encounters with trophy fish. • Docks & Piers: These structures are fish magnets, and I know the best ways to coax trout, snook, and Jack Crevalle into a catch. • Flats: When baitfish are schooling, we head to the flats for action-packed Redfish, Trout, and Snook fishing, using techniques tailored to the conditions. I adapt my approach to water, weather, and your skill level, ensuring every trip is productive, exciting, and fun — whether you’re chasing your personal best or learning new techniques.
