Species You'll Want to Hook

Melbourne's waters are teeming with a variety of fish species, and on this quick trip, you've got a shot at landing some real beauties. Here are a few of the top targets you might encounter:

Spotted Seatrout: These slender, silvery fish with distinctive spots are a staple of inshore fishing in Florida. They're known for their aggressive strikes and put up a great fight on light tackle. Trout love to hang around seagrass beds and oyster bars, and they're suckers for live shrimp or soft plastic lures. The "gator" trout (big ones over 20 inches) are the holy grail for many anglers.

Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored bruisers are a favorite among local anglers. They've got a distinctive black spot on their tail, and they can grow to impressive sizes. Redfish are often found cruising the flats or hanging around structure like docks and mangroves. When you hook into a big red, hold on tight – they're known for powerful runs that'll test your drag and your arm muscles!

Snook: These hard-fighting, line-stripping predators are the rock stars of inshore fishing. Snook are ambush predators that love to hang out near structure, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting baitfish. They're renowned for their acrobatic leaps and blistering runs. Catching a big snook is often the highlight of an angler's trip, and they're especially active during the warmer months.

Mangrove Snapper: Don't let their size fool you – these feisty little fish punch well above their weight class. Mangrove snapper are known for their sharp teeth and lightning-fast bites. They're often found around – you guessed it – mangroves, as well as other structure like docks and bridges. These tasty fish are a great target for anglers of all skill levels, and they're fun to catch on light tackle.
