Lure of the Month: Zara Spook

The zara spook is one of the river systems deadliest baits and is notorious for drawing large strikes and catching big fish. This bait has a wicked side to side action that mimics a wounded baitfish on the surface trying to get away. When the top water strike is on and the big fish can't let a free meal pass them by they will throttle this lure with a vengeance.

          The key to using the spook is to start the retrieve on a slack line of about a foot or less. You want to snap your rod tip back to draw the slack out of the line.  This will cause the lure to move either to the right or left as it sits in the water. While your doing this you want to pick up slack by slowly reeling but continue to keep about a foot or less of slack in the line the whole time .  Never pick up the slack 100%.

Brevard Fishing Report Takes to the Air!



    The Blimp Ride

Recently, several of our B.F.R. staff members were given the opportunity of a lifetime.  On a beautiful, sunny April morning we took off out of Melbounre airport on the Snoopy 2 blimp and cruised above some of our favorite fishing locations.  The flight was amazing!  Some of our photos include the Indian and Banana rivers, Dragon point, Mather's bridge, Eau Gallie Causeway, Orange creek, Ballard park and the Indiatlantic beaches.  Seeing these places from the air reminds us why Brevard county is one of Florida's fishing meccas.  From a boat or from the shore, the fishing here just can't be beat!  We would like to thank chief pilot, Chris Carlin, and the entire Snoopy 2 crew for this awesome adventure.  To see the full set of pictures click here.

Excerpt from Visit Florida.com

Snook Season Closed Until September 2010

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission banned the harvest of snook, tarpon and bonefish in response to the recent snap of cold weather, but anglers may still catch and release these prized sportfish. The executive order, which took effect at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 16, 2010, will keep snook season closed until September and bonefish and tarpon through March 31. But this doesn't mean you can't go fishing. Just be sure you know how to properly release a fish. 

   

 

Fishing Knot Videos 

 

 

Your fishing knot can be  your weakest link between you and your fish. Take a moment to learn a new knot or two. See what works best for you and let us know. Our favorites include the uni-knot and double uni-knot (leader to line). Try tying braided line to monofilament as a leader with the double uni-knot. Works great and it's super strong.

                                                                   Happy fishing!    B.F.R.
