Being born and raised near the great waters of Cocoa Beach, I have always had a burning passion for fishing and spending my time on the water. I started at a young age riding bikes around my local neighborhoods in search of catching that prized fish. This search became a fascination for me that only grew bigger and bigger as I aged. Most of my fishing experience has been in the Indian River Lagoon and in the Banana River, as well as fishing offshore out of Port Canaveral for pelagic species. Spending so much time on these waters has taught me how to pickup on patterns and really understand how to target trophy fish such as Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, and Trout. I have spent years learning how to fish these local waterways and it has been a dream of mine to pass this knowledge along to the next generation of young anglers.

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    extremely knowledgeable, and adaptable to the conditions. Changed the location knowing the fish were further south then where we had initially plan to launch. gave us a great opportunity to catch a big snook, but unfortunately lost it on my part. After they stopped biting he switched gears and put us on some nice size Redfish. He also went out before we got there to catch bait fish, so we could spend more time fishing. Great time overall!

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Redfish

    Great day on the water

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Cheyne helped us have a great day on the water. He was very patient with my 12 year old son and helped him all morning. We got on some tarpon early and my son landed a very nice one. After that, we went looking for reds and caught some nice ones. Cheyne was great and I would definitely book with him again.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Tarpon

What's biting with Southern Mayhem Fishing Charters in Cocoa Beach

Inshore fishing continues to give as good as it's got. The schools of Bull Redfish are still around, and are joined by an increased bite from big Spotted Seatrout. Offshore, Kingfish, Sailfish, and Wahoo are biting.
