Banana River Fishing Information

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.

THE HISTORY OF CAPE CANAVERAL CHAPTER 1
CAPE CANAVERAL BEFORE ROCKETS (B.C.-1948)
Written and Edited byCliff Lethbridge

Origin Of Cape Canaveral Remains Largely A Mystery

Although the recorded history of Cape Canaveral dates back a remarkable 500 years, next to nothing is known about when and how Cape Canaveral formed, or what exactly happened there prior to the advent of Spanish colonial exploration.

It is generally believed that geographic Cape Canaveral, as it is known today, was likely underwater for untold thousands of years. There is ample geological evidence of ancient dune lines, where ocean waves once broke upon the shoreline.

Actually, these dune lines run north and south along the Florida mainland about 10 to 15 miles inland from present day Cape Canaveral. Huge numbers of indigenous sea shells are commonly found at any inland construction site where deep digging is conducted.

What is nearly certain is that at some point in time, the ocean waves receded, and a combination of tidal action and local topography allowed a small point of land to jut out from the coastline into the great sea.

Imagination must of necessity rule when trying to imagine what the area was like before human intervention. Cape Canaveral likely played host to a huge variety of flora and fauna, including just about any creature that could fly, walk or crawl to its shores.

Captain Mike Gulick, Reel Job Sportfishing

Captian Mike Gulick with big redfish

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.
