Light Tackle Inshore Fishing East Central Florida by Tom Van Horn (1/12/2007)
Light tackle inshore fishing report from Florida's east central coast. On Saturday, my good friend Larry Carter joined me for a day of shad and crappie looking on the upper St. Johns River. The weather was actually not bad, but the catching was tough. We covered the river from the Econ Creek south of Lake Harney to the mouth of Lake Jussep and back, and our grand total for the day was one speck, one bluegill, one stump knocker, and one shad.

Winter Fishing Lagoon Coast Florida by Tom Van Horn (12/30/2006)
Fishing Forecast for the Indian River Lagoon Coast. The New Year is upon us, and this year I resolve to challenge every Floridian new and old to take at least one additional measure in 2007 to promote the wise use of resources we love so much. It is as simple as joining a conservation organization like the Coastal Conservation Association, assisting in a local clean up, taking someone who has never fished fishing for their first time, and encouraging those within our circle of influence to do the same.

November on the Indian River Lagoon Coast of Florida sets the stage for some of the best fishing experienced all year by Florida east coast anglers. Record cold temperatures have already dropped water temperatures into the seventies along the beach and offshore, and falling water temperatures will increase the feeding activity of larger species. Shorter days, northeast swells, cooler waters, all act as a dinner bell for larger fish preparing for the onset of winter.

My adventures started on Monday where Mark Blythe joined me for what we hoped would be a day of kayak fishing in the No-Motor Zone. When we arrived at our planned launch site stiff easterly breezes swayed our strategy, and with the yaks still strapped to the roof of the truck we headed to the beach. Operating on good information, I knew the bait was thick in the surf, and our chance for some serious action was good.

As we spin around the sun on our short ride through the universe, we are often challenged by life's hurtles. These challenges test our spirit, strength, courage, and our heart. Even though we think we are prepared, we are soon humbled by reality.
