Jackzilla Port Canaveral Fishing Report by
John Kumiski
(5/22/2016)
Four days fishing out of Port Canaveral this week led to some outstanding catches, particularly if you consider a 30 pound plus crevalle jack an outstanding catch. The fishing out there was fairly sizzling. So we have the Jackzilla Port Canaveral fishing report this week.

During the past week, several redfish have been willing to bite both artificial and fresh dead baits when fished near the bottom. At first light, Nemire's ½ ounce Spin Ripper has enticed several slot size reds into biting. Retrieving this lure just above the grass flats near pot holes and drop offs is the key for a successful hookup.

In the past week, trout have been hitting a wide variety of top water lures when fished along the eastern shoreline of the Indian River as well as the western shoreline of the No Motor Zone. When fishing inside the No Motor Zone, low light conditions have been very productive while wading the flats in three feet of water or less.

After the cold weather fish kill it is very encouraging to see large numbers of snook swimming the flats. They are still in a little shock but hopefully they will be fine.
