Florida's Space Coast 2008-2009 Official Vacation Planner - (Page 62) x ndei a A,leGaorgia ar h MAttlanta e of There are few among us who wouldn’t “rather be fishing,” especially around Florida’s Space Coast. With more than 500 species of marine fish and 100 species of fresh water fish in area rivers and lakes, the Space Coast offers world class fishing. To really enjoy a day out on our waters, charter a local fishing captain. They know the area and what’s biting where because they fish nearly every day. They provide all the needed tackle, license and most of all, local knowledge. Inshore captains on the St. Johns River and Indian River Lagoon waters usually take 2 to 3 anglers while offshore, deep-sea, boats guide six anglers to Atlantic Ocean species. Find links, phone numbers and fishing reports through www.fishingspacecoast.org and www.irga.org. The area is especially known for sea trout and redfish although other popular saltwater catches include snook, flounder, ladyfish, tarpon, black drum and sheepshead. Fresh water game includes huge catfish, crappies, largemouths, warmouths, bluegills, redears, spots, chain and redbreast pickerels. Surf fishing from the beach often brings in pompano, whiting, cobia, Spanish Mackerel and sharks while the off-shore charters provide ample fishing on both sides of the Gulf Stream for marlin, sailfish, tuna and dolphin. The lagoons, lakes and rivers encompass hundreds of miles to satisfy about any fishing fantasy. You can’t beat the Space Coast when it comes to making a fisherman’s dream come true.
