Logan caught this red in the Indian River Lagoon’s No Motor Zone while fishing on a Malibu Kayak Stealth 14 with his dad, Alex Gorichky.

The month of March is here and spring is upon us. As cold temperatures begin fade, many anglers will welcome the opportunity to soak up some warm Florida sunshine.  With an average high of nearly 70 degrees, anglers from all over central Florida will not be able to resist the chance to get out there and wet a line. During the month of March water levels will begin to rise slightly in the Banana River and the No Motor Zone. The rising water will help bring schools of slot size redfish to the flats.  On bright sunny days, fishermen will need to pay close attention to the sandy pot holes on the flats, it is here where tailing redfish will be most active and love to hide.  Scented jerk baits such as Bass Assassin’s Salt & Pepper Silver Phantom/Chartreuse Tail  will work well when rigged weedless and fished slowly.  Also, Nemire’s ½ oz red ripper attached to ten inches of fifteen pound test mono leader and ten pound test Power Pro should work equally as well.  If you are in search of larger reds, a fresh chunk of ladyfish, mullet or blue crab will be just the ticket when fished near drop-offs in two to three feet of water.

Also, be sure to use Ocean Potion Skin Care lotion to help protect you from the suns harmful rays while on the water.
