Wade Fishing near Cocoa Beach Wade-fishing with a client for redfish in the Banana River near Cocoa beach, Florida.
Now ‘wade-fishing’ is my favorite styles of fishing and I will use any excuse, even in the dead of winter, to climb into the water. There is just something exceptional about being knee deep on the clear, lush grass flats of the Indian River Lagoon system that connects with my soul and I’d like to share this unique experience with others.
The Fishing
July 31, 2008 - Great Time of Year
This is a great time of year to be fishing along the central east coast of Florida as every highly sought inshore species is plentiful and catchable - we have redfish to 40 lbs, snook to 25 lbs, tarpon to 125 lbs and spotted trout to 10 lbs - plus bull sharks, tripletail and even grouper roaming the prestine shallow water flats of the Indian River Lagoon system. Each of these targets are a blast on light tackle, sight-fishing.
