Florida's Best Fishing
Florida's Space Coast offers some of the best fishing in the country! Few places in the world offer the variety of species found here. From big bass and crappie on the St. Johns River to giant redfish, trout and snook on the Indian River Lagoon to exciting billfish action offshore in the Atlantic, the Space Coast is hard to beat!For information and links to local offshore and inshore fishing captains and guides, check out The Canaveral Charter Captains Association website at fishingspacecoast.org and The Indian River Guides Association website at irga.org. Don't forget one of our local favorites for fishing addicts, The Mogan Man, Captain Blair Wiggins. Visit his website, addictivefishing.com.
