Tarpon fishing Banana River

Banana River Fishing — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:48:21 +0000

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.

Snook fishing has been pretty good in the Banana River the last few weeks. Most of the catches have come from DOA shrimp fished around docks and mangroves. There has also been some fish up on the flats in the early part of the day.

Here’s some pictures of the last few weeks snook catches.
