The Catch Is On Fire This Week!
What a stellar week it's been for our Cocoa Beach fishing charters! The offshore waters of Port Canaveral have been absolutely teeming with activity, and our clients have been returning to the docks with impressive catches and even bigger smiles.
This past week, our captains have reported exceptional catches of kingfish, mahi-mahi (dolphin), and several varieties of snapper. The kingfish have been particularly aggressive, striking baits with remarkable enthusiasm in the 80-100 ft range. Many of our charters have been landing kings in the 15-30 pound class – perfect for both thrilling fights and delicious fillets!
What's Biting Offshore Right Now
May is truly one of the best times for Port Canaveral fishing charters, as we're experiencing that perfect seasonal transition when multiple species are actively feeding in our waters.
The kingfish and mackerel have been running strong along the reefs and drop-offs. Mahi-mahi (dolphin) fishing has been excellent, with many boats finding schools around floating debris and weed lines. Cobia continue making appearances around rays and structures. Blackfin tuna are starting to show up in deeper waters as the season progresses. For bottom fishing enthusiasts, snapper and grouper action has been consistent, with vermilion snapper and red grouper making up the majority of catches.
The clear water conditions (visibility around 30-40 feet) have made for perfect opportunities to spot those floating weed lines that often hold schools of hungry mahi. Several of our charters this week landed bull dolphin in the 25+ pound range – fish that not only provide an incredible fight but also plenty of delicious white meat for the table.
This transition period between spring and summer creates the perfect storm of fishing conditions off Cocoa Beach. Right now is the ideal time to book your charter with us because multiple species are active. Rather than targeting just one fish, our charters have been returning with diverse catches - something for everyone on board.
We're also enjoying comfortable weather conditions before the intense summer heat arrives, making for pleasant days on the water. The waters are less crowded as the summer tourist rush hasn't hit its peak yet, meaning more elbow room on the fishing grounds.
Perhaps most importantly, many species are in active feeding patterns, preparing for spawning or migration, which means aggressive strikes and memorable battles on the line.
