We had an exceptional year for tarpon fishing in the Banana River. Many local flats were over run with tarpon in the 3-15 pound range, some lucky anglers caught fish over 50. Live bait is most commonly used but Banana River tarpon will easily fall for flies or properly presented artificials. May old salts are saying this is some of the best tarpon fishing they have seen in 30 years around Brevard County. By the numbers of tarpon we found the past two weeekends it doesn’t look like it will slow up anytime soon. Many of the local canals that have not had tarpon in the last few years are suddenly full of them. There are many guides around the Space Coast who specialize in chasing tarpon give one a call today and catch a silver king.

Banana River Lagoon guide spot light.

Captain Mike is a Florida native who has fished central Florida since the age of 5. He also began fishing freshwater lakes with his Dad and Grandfather, targeting mostly specks and bass. Mike’s Dad introduced him to saltwater fishing early on, and after many trips with him and his Uncles, Mike developed a desire to fish that could not be fulfilled on weekends alone. So, eventually he moved from Orlando to Brevard County so that he could be on the water as much as possible. Ultimately, this led to a career of guiding others in the awesome, year-round fishery that Florida’s Banana River. Captain Mike Gulick also competes in many inshore and offshore tournaments. In 2006 he fished in the Florida East Coast Division IFA Redfish tournaments and many local amateur events in which they placed in the top 5.

So, if you want to sightfish for reds and trout on the Banana River please give Captian Mike Gulick a call.

My name is Derek Redwine. After many years of being friends with Jose Wejebe, he recently asked me if my family and I would be interested in doing a fishing show with him. After I picked myself up off the ground, we talked through some ideas. Jose made it clear he really just wanted us to do what we do.

This was very special to us because he wasn’t asking us to be a fishing guide, captain, or expert on the river…he was just asking us to be a family and show him how we like to explore the outdoors and pass on our passion on to our child.

I guess a little background is in order. We live in Merritt Island, Florida on the Banana River. We own a graphic design studio called BoldWater which focuses on the marine industry and we have a little place on the river where we raise our 9-year-old son Alden. Our passion in life is spending every possible second on the water together. Obviously we love to fish, surf, crab, shrimp and camp. Before owning our graphic design studio I was a professional charter boat mate. After having our son Alden we hoped he would share in our passion for the ocean but instead of thrusting Alden right in the middle of our obsession we started him out slowly learning and respecting the outdoors from the bottom of the food chain up.
