ƒoFRESHWATER
ƒoTOP SPOT: Try fishing the St. Johns River, concentrating on creek mouths, lily pads and reeds for bass. Most bass have moved out of the lakes and into the river. Use topwater and buzzbaits lures during low-light periods. Use plastic worms near creek mouths and spinnerbaits near vegetation. Plastic toads and lizards work well in and over thick lily pads. Panfish can be caught in good numbers near docks, vegetation and turns in the river. Crickets, redworms, popping lures and flies are all effective.
ƒoOTHER TOP SPOTS: The Harris Chain has been good at night and daybreak for bass. Fish with topwater lures, plastic toads and soft plastic jerkbaits. Switch to Carolina-rigged plastic worms later in the day. .ƒ|.ƒ|. Fish with shiners, plastic worms and crankbaits in the Conway Chain for bass. Action is best at night and the first hour of daylight. .ƒ|.ƒ|. Johns Lake in Winter Garden is steady for schooling bass. Fish at daybreak or sunset near reeds with plastic worms and jerkbaits.
ƒoINSHORE
ƒoTOP SPOT: You can find plenty of redfish throughout the Mosquito Lagoon. Schools of slot-sized fish are grouping up in big numbers. These fish have been very spooky of late, but you can catch plenty on soft plastic jerkbaits, spoons and shrimp or shrimp imitation lures. Several large schools of black drum can be found in the central lagoon, near spoil islands on the eastern side. Shrimp and crabs work best.
ƒoOTHER TOP SPOTS: Try the Sebastian Inlet for snook, mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel and redfish. Fish tide changes for redfish and snook. Jumbo shrimp or small bait fish are the best option. Snook will hit Bucktail jigs and Wind Cheaters at night. Spanish mackerel can be caught oceanside from the northern jetties. Spoons, fingerling mullet and topwaters are all effective. Mangrove snapper can be caught near the end of the rocks on both sides of the inlet. Shrimp are the best bait. A few black drum and sheepshead can be caught from the catwalk. Use shrimp or sand fleas as bait.

ƒoOFFSHORE
ƒoTOP SPOT: The Party Grounds out of Ponce Inlet have been very productive for king mackerel, sea bass, lane snapper and a few mangrove snapper. Flounder, tripletail and cobia are also possibilities. Fish structure on the bottom and keep a flat line out for kings. Use cut pinfish and shrimp on the bottom with pogies or mullet on the flat line.
ƒoOTHER TOP SPOTS: Try trolling or drifting with live baits on Pelican Flats out of Port Canaveral for king mackerel. You could pick up a wahoo or two as well. Troll with ballyhoo in the same are for dolphin and a few sailfish. .ƒ|.ƒ|. Try fishing in 130-150 feet of water out of Sebastian Inlet for sailfish, wahoo and dolphin. As you get closer to the Gulf Stream, you could pick up a few nice blackfin tuna. Troll with ballyhoo for best results. A few tarpon, king mackerel and Spanish mackerel can be found in 30-60 feet of water. Sharks, bonito, jacks and barracuda are also possible. Live pogies or fingerling mullet work best.

FRESHWATER: Fish the Wekiva River in Lake County for bass. Fish near docks and the edges of pads with soft plastic jerkbaits, small diving plugs and plastic worms. Plenty of panfish can be caught near creek mouths.

The best thing to do is take a kayak or canoe (or rent one) from Kate's Landing and paddle against the current first. Head up and work the edges of lily pads and grass lines. Use a small popping lure up near the banks for warmouth and a few small bass.

The water doesn't get as warm as lakes and bass are more active throughotu the day.


SALTWATER: Try the 8A-Reef and Pelican Flats out of Port Canaveral for king mackerel. Drift or slow troll with live baits for best results.

The flats are loaded with fish. Snake kings are all over. If you find a big group of them, speed troll through the area with Maurader lures for wahoo.

A few dolphin are also showing up on the flats, but neither in good numbers or good size, but you can pick up a few keepers.

Sailfish, bonito, cuda and sharks are all possible as well.

FRESHWATER: Try fishing the Kissimmee Chain at night and just before daybreak for bass. Fish near grassy points with plastic toads, topwater lures and soft plastic jerkbaits. Plastic worms and buzzbaits are also effective. Carolina-rigged plastic worms will work on shell beds later in the morning. Work baits slowly for best results. Shellcrackers and bluegills can be found in grassy, shallow waters. Redworms, crickets and small popping lures are all effective. Try fishing canals connecting the lakes for bass and panfish as well. If water is flowing, search for ambush points for bass, which will include rocks, trees and any deeper cuts near the shoreline.
SALTWATER: Fish the Sebastian Inlet during tide changes at night for snook and redfish. Snook remain out of season, so handle these fish with care and release. Use a net to avoid handling as much as possible. Redfish, mostly over-the-slot fish, can be caught in the channel west of the bridge. Pinfish, cut baits and jumbo shrimp are all effective baits. You can catch Spanish mackerel from the northern jetties on spoons and diving plugs. Sheepshead and a few black drum can be caught from the catwalk. Peeled shrimp and fiddler crabs are both effective baits. Fish the flats behind the inlet for snook, reds and trout. Topwater lures are good for all three during low-light periods.
