North Indian River Redfish

Posted on August 13, 2011

They’re on the move folks. Our annual Redfish spawn is near and the bigguns are currently moving through the Haulover Canal.The Haulover joins the north Indian River with the south Mosquito Lagoon. These two lagoons are so far from a natural pass or inlet to be essentially land-locked bodies of saltwater.

This unique factor is the basic reason our redfish population lives their entire lives within this rather small locale. It’s also the reason this area is so famous for its redfish fishery.

Our mature breeding stock of redfish is able to successfully spawn in this warm salty environment rather than migrate to the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico as is the norm for all other groups of redfish.

For the angler this means big schools of hungry trophy redfish within easy reach of Titusville, Florida’s many boat ramps. Fishing here for the next 6 to 8 weeks should be an awesome experience as long as the weather allows us to see into the water.

Once located live and cut baits will usually do the trick, but for the most exciting experience fishing a big “walk-the-dog” style of top-water plug is simply explosive!
