Indian River Lagoon Report – January

January 2, 2019 | by Steve Beare

Another year has come and gone.  2019 has greeted us with warmer than usual weather and seemingly rare calm conditions.  The fishing so far has been nothing short of incredible so its clear that the Redfish, Snook, Trout, Black Drum, Snapper, Pompano and a host of other species are enjoying the weather too.  Snook and Redfish are sunning along the shorelines. Use Gulp Shrimp, Paddletail Jigs, or shrimp pattern flies for greater success.  Sea Trout are active along drop offs and deeper grass flats and its hard to beat the explosion of a trout on a topwater plug like the Skitterwalk or Zara Spook.  Pompano are hanging in the surf and in the deeper water west of the Moorings Flat.  I know you wont be shocked when I say that Sandfleas are the ticket here.  Despite the weather patterns being slightly off, January is shaping up to be very productive. Finally…A huge thanks to all my clients for providing me the opportunity to do what I love and to my family who has provided me with their unwavering support.  Without all of you, I don’t exist.  THANK YOU and I wish you all a prosperous 2019.  For pictures of recent trips you can clink the link to your right and follow us on Instagram—->
