September 27, 2009 – Sensational September Fishing

September 27, 2009 The fishing action during the last week has been spectacular as the fall mullet run has pushed into the Indian River Lagoon system filling our waters with a massive supply of baitfish. The resulting feeding frenzies on the incoming tides down in the Sebastian Inlet area are absolutely awesome with a wide […]

August 29, 2009 Late Summer Success

The month of August brought the usual fishing thrills along with a great personal loss within the Native Sons Fishing family. My dear mother had a sudden stroke and passed away three later early in the month. Much of my month has been spent assisting my family, particularly my dad, in adjusting to live without […]

July 31, 2009 Fishing Time and Vacation Time

July is such a super time of the year as the skies are generally blue and water is usually clear while the fishing is always terrific. This is also the time of year when many Floridians vacate the state for vacations. My family and I had the rare opportunity to spend much of the month […]

June 28, 2009 – Summertime Fishing at its Finest

One of the great things about the summer inshore fishing along the Space Coast is the wide variety of species roaming in our shallow-water lagoon system.

June 5, 2009 – May was Monster Month

This past May was one of the finest in memory for monster fish in the inshore shallow saltwater flats of the Indian River Lagoon system from New Smyrna Beach to Ft. Pierce.

May 31, 2009- Late May Mayhem

The inshore fishing continues on a torrid pace along the Space and Treasure Coasts of central Florida as a late spring explosion of finger mullet have ignited a feeding frenzy in our salt-water rivers and back-water estuaries.

May 18, 2009 – Creek Fishing Exclusive

Occasionally we have one of those golden days of guiding which will eventually pass into charter captain lore. This past week Capt. Peter had such a day, and I thought the description and pictures from the trip merit an exclusive report. The following was written and directed by Capt. Peter. Read, imagine and enjoy. A […]

May 16, 2009 – Snook Explosion

One of the most prized inshore species is the snook. Well known for their spectacular fights, sneaky tactics and finicky appetites, the snook is the hardest member of our inshore slam to catch. This past week our central Florida exploded when the wiley snook went on a tear. And five fortunate charter party were treated […]
