The Cocoa Beach area is one of the most well known spots in the world for Fly Fishing redfish and gator sea trout. Cocoa Beach has has some of the most beautiful shallow water fishing without leaving the country. Our Flats have been the home to many of our state record redfish and many sea trout contenders up to 16 lbs. We also have numerous schools of Jacks, tarpon, snook and ladyfish. There is almost always something around willing to pull a drag. You don't have to take my word for it though. ESPN, The Outdoor Life Network and many others have targeted our flats for many of the shows you see on TV. So, stop dreaming about Fly fishing the flats and watching us do it on from your couch and let's go catch some memories.
I am a Full Time guide that specializes in Light Tackle Sight Fishing in the Cocoa Beach area. I ways born on Cocoa Beach and with the exception of a few years in the service this area has always been my home. I currently fish these waters over 300 days a year and have over 35 years experience fishing Cocoa Beach. Most of the redfish we have caught over the past 5 years have averaged 35 inches with a few up to 55 inches. When the conditions are right, you can spot these fish feeding on the flats 200 yards away. With the fish in your site, we sneak up on them, you take your cast and start stripping you line. The water explodes and your line flies off the deck. Now the real battle begins. After fighting a big red, you can count on going home with a sore arm. Another fun fish to catch in the Indian and Banana Rivers is the spotted sea trout. It is common to catch them between 12 to 27 inches with an occasional gator (30+ inches). There are few things more exciting than hooking into a big sea trout on a top water fly. During the winter one of the most requested charters I run is for ladyfish. We refer to these fish as poor mans tarpon. That are a smaller cousin to the tarpon and love to spend a lot of time in the are. These fish are a favorite of first time and experienced fly fisherman. They will test your skills and get you ready for their larger cousins. To plan a Fly Fishing Trip: Call (321) 432-9470 Printable Business Card
