Lobster Mini Season posted 08/14
Okay, I think something is wrong with me. After last week’s mini-season and an entire week of good visibility, I’ve found myself at times looking under bushes and curbs for waving lobster antennae. I’ve also been sub-consciously clearing my nose for a descent into the deep. Is something wrong with me? Am I alone in this?
Okay, first off, for all you divers out there, the ...
July Fishing Central Fla. posted 07/26
I’ve been working a lot lately at LongDoggers not because I need the money, but because it keeps me in the shade for the hottest part of the day. If I wasn’t working I’d be out there cancerin’ it up under the blazing July sun. My shunning of the sun this summer has helped me catch some pretty nice fish, both inshore and out deep.
The full moon bite offshore was insane this ...
Cold water fishing in the summer ? posted 07/14
Well, isn't this is weird few weeks for us on the Space Coast? The waves have been awesome, but that water is pretty darn cold! The coldwater upwellings, a result of Ekman transport, the Coriolis effect, and light winds, are invading our waters and making it feel like winter again.
Sure, its nice to cool off in the colder water as a surfer, but if you are ...
Summertime, the livin's easy posted 06/21
It sure is getting hot outside. Not that you wanted to hear me say it and remind you of this month’s electric bills. Hot weather means something to everyone, and to me it means diving and snorkeling.
What better way to beat the heat than to jump in the water? The visibility has already been clearing up beautifully from Sebastian all the way to the Keys. Why sit in a hot boat all day getting ...

Big thanks to the scientist of the day Don Hammond for his expertise and passion for them fish. That guy sure is dedicated to learning everything there is to know about the dolphin and sharing it with anyone who will listen.
The purpose of this trip ...
Springtime! posted 04/04
Who doesn't love Spring? Seriously? It starts getting warmer, the birds be singing, the bees be buzzin', and the fish be bitin'!
As we surfers peel off our wetsuits and come out of hibernation, so do the fish. Warmer air temperatures heat the surface of the water and draw our favorite pelagic species to the surface. The dolphin fishing was pretty crappy in March and I can attest. We tried ...
