the suzuki repower fishing report

Port Canaveral, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Orlando

We have finally made it! Glorious April! Calm seas will come our way and the fishing is about to get stellar.

The King will be happy this month and when the king is happy, everything is happy. Fast action live bait trolling is going to be the ticket for guaranteed successful fun filled days. King Mackerel will dominate but we always get cobia, mahi, black fin tuna and sailfish in the mix.

It’s about to be Tuna and Mahi time! The backside of the Stream will come alive and the best tuna and mahi catches of the year are about to happen. Tuna Trips take a very big commitment and come with a large price tag but this one trip has the potential to produce more than 20 other trips combined. It’s still fishing so there are no guarantees but once you experience your first successful tuna trip, you won’t want to do anything else.

This is also a great time of year for swordfish. Calm seas make for quick travel time to the Sword Grounds. Sword Fishing is always boring until it’s not, but the adrenaline spike when it happens is worth the wait.

We also have a very good chance to have good blue water trolling on this side of the stream. This can be done on full day trips. Mahi, sails, blackfin tuna, and the occasional wahoo are the targets The Nearshore and Shark trips are going to be very good. Just like fisherman, the fish prefer calm seas and clean water. People often ask when the best fishing is. Our best fishing is actually year round but having calm seas for a few consecutive days straight is always the key to the most successful trips.

We are really counting on April to turn the dial back on the wind and allow us access to all the great fishing, leading into May.
