Indian River Lagoon Fishing Reports

Waters can be a bit choppy. A bit better in April/May. But the fish still bite well.

July isn't the best month, but Captain Eric made it an enjoyable half-day searching for signs of fish and learning about the area's eco issues and treasure-hunting history.

We are from Indiana. Fishing in Cocoa Beach was different. We are so used to filling a bite and yanking the line. That is not how you fish at Cocoa Beach.

Be prepared to accept not going out into the ocean and still having a great day!

Vero offers great variety for inshore fishing and has quick access to the Ft Pierce inlet for those who want to go offshore.

A bit chilly due to unusual cold front in December. It’s an early start so wear layers and you’ll be fine!

The earlier the better for Florida In the summer time. It gets very hot, and most of the time during the summer it storms in the afternoon which doesn't pair well with fishing.

Wear sunscreen (SPF 50), drink lots of water, be patient, and listen to your guide.

Be prepared for hot weather and afternoon shower storms. But overall fishing is great

Fish with Captain Lou on Miss Joan and have a great experience in Fort Pierce

Try a charter and go with the professional. It's a lot better then a quite day at sea.

I would strongly recommend using Capt. Paul services to gain knowledge of the area regarding fishing. He is a very experience fisherman with very good gear and knowledge of the area. Be prepare to see dolphins, manatee and many species of birds. Very polite and patent with his quests. I would highly recommend his services. David Hernandez

Definitely go on a guided trip... the knowledge of the Captains make the day much more productive.

This charter is a resonable price for yhe sversge person wanting to Ocean fish.

If you can't book Fishing Devotion, then hire one of the other local guides. We met a couple of them when we were fishing with Fishing Devotion, and they are all great guys.

My 8-year-old son caught 8 different types of fish on his first ever morning of fishing.

Weather is a hit and a miss in January with rain and wind often on the forecast. But with the right charter and with someone that know the area , there are spots where you can still fish and have some great fishing even if the weather is not good.

Both areas, the river and Sebastian inlet as well as the offshore condition are great for fishing in August

Listen to the Captain, stay alert and have fun. It’s important to pick a Captain that has great reviews, and who has experience. We did and it paid off!

It was a hot day and one to be patient, but the captain’s determination and the eventual excitement of the catch, made it a great day on the water.
