Port Canaveral Shark Fishing

Cape Canaveral and Port Canaveral Shark Fishing with Live Bait.

"We often catch sharks off Port Canaveral and it's while it's entertaining for anglers, sharks are more than often a nuisance for charter captains because of the dangers involved with landing them. I'm always pleased to see kids and families enjoy pulling in a shark and wonder about what the skin really feels like and if the teeth are as big and bad as the movies make them out to be. It makes my job as a fishing guide fullfilling watching anglers young and old learn more about our ocean and it's life." Explains Captain Richard Bradley

Above is a photo of a dad with his son holding a small hammerhead shark they caught while trolling live baits off Port Canaveral during the summer. The shark was returned to the water where it will grow up and possibly be over 1,000 pounds and 13 feet long. Sharks are coming back to Florida after commercial interest decimated them for two decades after the movie Jaws that Peter Benchley wrote in the 1970's.

September 2010 King Mackerel Fishing Update

When the weather stays mild, the tropical disturbances do not kick up the oceans and the waters stay clear you can count on September to be a banner month for King Mackerel fishing nearshore and offshore. King Mackerel or kingfish spawn during the summer months within a short distance from the beach and continue to stay there until the water quality changes and the fall brings on cooler dirtier water (not polluted water, but muddy water). If the oceans kick up this September, you can look for the King Mackerel to head offshore to the nearest clear reefs and wrecks. Typically September can be a transition month for Florida and the beginning of change as we move toward the fall. If the winds of change start blowing, we can always fish inshore as the redfish and other inshore species start biting hard.

September 2010 Tripletail Fishing Update

If there's bait and clear water you'll find triple tail nearshore at Port Canaveral in September, however if the waves kick up and the bait disappears it could be a poor time to fish for them. Typically the fishing in for triple tail in September can be excellent if the conditions hold up, but it's a year-to-year proposition depending on the conditions. Cape Canaveral and the nearby Port can be home to the world's largest tripletail and if the weather and conditions are RIGHT then ask your guide about these fantastic eating fish.

Canaveral can be a great place to catch sharks and other gamefish. If you are interested in going on a shark trip specifically Lagooner Fishing Charters can help you out for an evening shark fishing trip during the warmer times of year (mostly during the summer).

Shark Fishing Trips are typically during the evening and run for four hours. It's a relaxing and fun way to spend an evening during the summer.
