Fishing along Florida's Space Coast has been good reports Captain Keith Mixon (www.mixinworkwithplay.com). In the past week, speckled trout have been caught along the western shores of the Banana River in the "No Motor Zone". At first light, several trout measuring up to twenty inches have been willing to bite both live shrimp and mullet when rigged on a circle hook. With a quiet approach, clients have caught several of these trout in three to four feet of water when fished near schools of bait. In addition, several slot size reds have been caught south of S.R 520 near the Thousand Islands. Scented jerk baits and gold spoons such as Nemire's ¼ ounce Spin Ripper have worked exceptionally well when fished just above the grass. With an average depth of two to three feet, several of these fish have been caught while wading. Around Port Canaveral, mangrove snapper continue to aggressively bite live shrimp when fished near docks and other structure. Mangrove snapper fishing has been its best during the first few hours of the day on an outgoing tide. In the past week, many of these fish have measured up to 15 inches in length.
