Port Canaveral Professional Charter Fishing Guide Service

Cape Canaveral and Port Canaveral Tripletail Fishing Guide.

Tripletail are an awesome fighting fish found near Port Canaveral and Cape Canaveral's shoreline. Early summer and late spring are great time to target tripletail nearshore, not far from the beaches. November December and January are great for big tripletail if we have a mild winter.

"We had an Indian summer in January of 2005 and the tripletail were out-in-numbers along with freeswimming cobia", explains Captain Richard of Lagooner fishing guides. "We had three weeks of excellent fishing off Port Canaveral in January 2005 and limited out on tripletail almost every time we went out. Most of the country was in snow and storms and Florida was making up for last years hurricane ravages."

Captain Richard Bradley I'm not one to brag (yeah right!), but Port Canaveral has the best tripletail fishing in the world. How can I make a bold claim like that? It's easy! Look at the IGFA's website for all the tripletail records and Canaveral eclipses every other location worldwide.

Generally speaking, there are two yearly time periods that tripletail are most cooperative. The spring from late April thru late summer and then again in the fall around November they make another appearance. Tripletail show up for a few days/weeks and disappear as fast as they came into the picture. I keep up with the tripletail bite, so if I say "they're on or off" you can pretty much count on it either way. Tripletail can be physically demanding and challenging for anglers that are not spry on their feet and strong in the arm, so consider this angling experience not for the novice or weak.

January 2012 Tripletail Fishing Update

January is an unusual month in Florida and much of the southeast as it can be the coldest month or the warmest month of the winter. If it's the latter than it could be a really good month for targeting tripletail outside of Port Canaveral. Typically there's an Indian Summer that comes sometime in January and there is a short window of opportunity to get out and pull a few fish from structures close in toward the beaches. Calm water and warm water during this month can be the ticket for incoming tripletail on weedlines and an angler only needs to know how and where to be successful in the hunt for Tripletail in January. This January's looking to be a mixed bag of weather with a few opportunities for getting out of Port Canaveral. Ask your guide to look for these conditions and see if he can produce a good day of fishing when the weather is calm enough and the temperatures are high during next few weeks. If the weather doesn't cooperate, look to go inward towards the Banana River Lagoon or Indian River Lagoon to catch some nice redfish or spotted sea trout as this is the month for those two species to start gearing up for the spring spawn and staging in traditional haunts.
