April 14th 2010 We now post daily catch reports on the bottom of our home page. You can also follow us on our Twitter page at Twitter or on our face book page at Facebook.

Feb.12th 2010 The weather has been really making it hard to get out fishing. I think I have been 2 times this month. The amber jack fishing is really good. This time of year we catch the big ones. 40 to 70 pound fish are common. The cobia will be showing up on the color changes and temperature breaks that we get from these rough conditions and cold fronts. I did sneak out 1 day last week and found mana rays that were stacked with cobia. It was a great day of fishing. However the next day I went and never saw a thing. Cobia fishing is extremely hit and miss. I think we could have some luck on spinner sharks and possibly even a thresher. I have seen a few breaking the water about 15 miles out. However our typical shark trip would not be very good right now. The water temperature near shore is to cold.

Jan 20th 2010 The fishing the last few days has been a little bit challenging. The main reason is due to the 4 month closure of grouper & red snapper. We have been doing very well catching limits of amber jack. The king fish have also been very cooperative earl in the month. That being said, the past few days the kings have not been around do to the water temperature being so cold. However today we caught 4 kings and I expect the action will be fast and furious as the water warms back up. We can also expect some good cobia fishing off of the warm edge where that cold water meets it. If you are looking for some especially tasty fish to take home we have been doing very well using light tackle to catch trigger fish & sea bass. These fish are usually less than 3lbs but as far as table fair they are unmatched.

December 6th 2009 Fishing is absolutely as good as it gets right NOW! Slow trolling for kings is providing unstoppable action with allot of big fish. We are catching numerous cobia while slow trolling. Sailfish and mahi are also in the mix. Bottom fishing for snapper, amber jack & grouper is also on fire. The time to fish is now because patience is not required. It is like fishing in a barrell.

 September 30th 2009 This past week the red snapper fishing has been phenomenal. That being said everything else has been very poor. Any day  the slow trolling for kings is going to be awesome and we can expect fast action from these ferocious feeders. The last shark trip was awesome. We caught several black tip sharks and a couple very nice lemon sharks.

August 22nd 2009 Live bait trolling has been very productive lately. We are steadily catching nice king mackerel, cobia and the occasional dolphin fish. The amber jack fishing has been really good. The amber jacks have been between 25 and 60lbs. The grouper and snapper have been pretty slow going, however things might change after this big ground swell. Shark fishing has been really good but the last 2 trips have been very slow, again this might change after this big swell. We will be out fishing everyday the next few days. I will write another report after we test the bottom fishing and shark fishing.

July 9th The live bait trolling is really good right now. We are catching allot of nice king fish and cobia. The kings are always the most abundant and are eager to provide plenty of drag screaming rod bending action. The barracuda have been around to also keep the rods bent and are eager to eat a struggling king. The bottom fishing did shut down a few days after my last report but the snapper and amber jacks are biting fairly decent right now. We have caught a few nice grouper in the last couple trips. Hopefully the bottom fishing will continue to improve but for the fastest action the live bait trolling cant be beat. Here recently we have been live bait trolling just a few miles from the inlet. The fish being that close provides for plenty of fishing time because of the short boat ride. The kings have been 10lbs to 35lbs plus cobias, barracudas and jack crevalle, sharks and the occasional tarpon. The nightly shark fishing has very good. We are catching black tips, spinner, nurse and lemon sharks.

June 6th 2009 The fishing has been really good this past week. We are doing especially well live bait trolling. We are catching kings, mahi and cobia. The barracuda and bonito are also eager to eat a live pogy This is a great month to catch sailfish. The best way to target sails is to troll ballyhoo. We should continue to catch nice mahi (dolphin fish) while trolling ballyhoo. The bottom fishing has definitely improved the past week. We have caught some nice snapper and grouper along with the amber jacks. However the bottom fishing can get very unreliable as we get into the summer months. The biggest improvement has been the nightly shark fishing. The last 2 night have been very good. We have caught some nice lemon sharks, nurse sharks and big bottom rays.

May 13th 2009 The variety here recently has been awesome. We have been doing allot of live bait trolling this past week and it has been very consistent. We are catching king fish, cobia, mahi, sail fish, barracuda and bonito on any given day live bait trolling. Most of the action is coming from the kings and the fish have been ranging from 10 to 30lbs. The straight up trolling to target mainly dolphin, wahoo and sail fish has been EXTREMLY hit and miss. One day you will catch anywhere from 8 to 15 nice fish and the next day you cant get a bite. The bottom fishing is what I would describe as SOSO. We have been catching a few nice red snapper but successfulness really depends on what the current is doing. Just last night I would say we had our 1st good night of shark fishing for the season. We caught about a 10ft lemon shark. We also caught some big nurse sharks, black nose sharks and big bottom rays.

April 27th 2009This month has definitely made the entire Sea Leveler crew earn the charter boat award for making it happen (if their was such a award). We have had some great trips and every trip we have caught some nice fish but not many of them came easy. The dolphin bite has been good one day and none existent the next. The bottom fishing has my head spinning, one day you get a good bite in shallow water the next day no bite. After that go even shallower and later that same day you need to be deeper than 200ft to get a bite. When you do find them they are nice fish. Snapper 10 to 20 lbs and the grouper are 20 plus. WHAT IS GOING ON? The live bait trolling has been very good on most days and the fish have been close to home. We are fishing only a few miles from Cocoa Beach and doing very well on kings and the occasional cobia to spice things up. The big jacks have shown up and they are awesome fighters along with some barracuda for fun. The shark fishing has yet to really hit full stride. On our last outing we caught 2 sharp nose sharks and two bonnet head sharks. The sharp nose and bonnet heads are the smaller sharks we catch, usually 3ft or less and not weighing more than 15 lbs. We did have 3 shots at larger sharks that same night but they didn't want to stay hooked. I do believe the fishing will get more consistent as soon as the weather does. I suggest if you are planning a trip in the next week or so to go the full day. Like I said we have had great catches on every trip it just takes a little more looking around than it normally does. Call me if you are wanting to go shark fishing because it is going to break loose any time now and sometimes it takes a while to get a fishing report in. I will let you know exactly what we caught on our most recent trip. Call us and give us a chance to show you why Sea Leveler is the charter boat you want to take your family fishing on.

April 1st 2009 The last 2 weeks have been tough. The weather was terrible and didn't allow us to do any fishing for 13 days. We have fished the past 2 days and the fishing was surprisingly pretty good. The trolling action was slow but the few mahi we did catch were nice fish. I think as we get a little further along in the month the trolling action should be very good. The bottom fishing was also surprisingly good. We caught some monster amber jack and a few nice grouper. The sight fishing for cobia seemed to slow a little but we did manage to find 1 nice fish on our last trip and a few triple tail. The cobia are not more than a few miles off Cocoa Beach, Port Canaveral. This makes for a nice relaxing day of fishing because of no long run to the fishing grounds. The shark fishing is starting to show signs of improvement. We caught a few black nose and spinner sharks along with some nice red drum and bottom rays on last nights shark trip. I think as the water continues to clean up, all the fishing should just keep getting better.

Mar. 1st 2009 The snapper fishing continues to be phenomenal. We are catching nice size snapper along with a few grouper and cobia. The cobia are starting to show more frequently and soon we will be sight fishing for them. The king mackerel bite is still very good. The bigger 20 plus pound fish are not as frequent as last month but just yesterday we caught 6 kings over 20lbs. The mahi (dolphin fish) should start to show more toward the end of the month and should provide some awesome action while live bait trolling. Unfortunately the shark fishing the last few trips has been very poor. I do expect it to pick up as soon as the water temp raises a few more degrees. If you have plans to visit Orlando, Cocoa Beach or any of the surrounding areas of Port Canaveral please call us at 321-794-3474 for a up to date fishing report.

Feb. 1st 2009 The waters off-shore of Cocoa Beach are loaded with fish right now. The fishing has been really good all of January but the last few days have been phenomenal. The king fish are still biting awesome, just yesterday we caught one that weighed 47lbs (smoker). The red snapper are still biting great and the grouper are really starting to show also. We are also catching several cobia & the occasional mahi while slow trolling for the kings. The cobias have also been following up the snapper while bottom fishing. When that happens we pitch a live bait to them on a spinning real and it is game on. We have been seeing several mana rays that have cobia with them. It is somewhat unusual to see the cobias with mana rays this early but I wont complain The shark fishing has been slow but if you ever want a chance to catch a sand tiger shark the time is now. Sand tiger sharks are considered a threaten species but we can catch them and release them unharmed. They are awesome looking sharks. They have brown patchy spots on them and their teeth stick out everywhere. We are averaging 1 to 4 tiger sharks per trip right now and they are between 125 to 200lbs 7 to 10 ft in length. If you are visiting Orlando, Cocoa Beach, or anywhere in the Space Coast area and you and your family/friends are looking to do something memorable and fun. Right now is the time to experience a awesome fishing trip. Give us a call at 321-794-3474 and talk to us about fishing. I am sure we can find a trip that is right for your group.

January 4th 2009 The new year fishing has kicked off red hot. Red snapper, red snapper and more red snapper. Along with the red snapper our king mackerel bite is insane. We are catching the kings one after another, however they have been traveling back and forth between a 50 mile stretch of water. If you are planning a half day trip. I suggest scheduling it for the afternoon, this way we can contact our friends that are already out fishing and we will know where or where not to go. We are also catching amber jacks while bottom fishing and cobias while trolling for kings. The shark fishing is very slow. Shark fishing probably wont be really good for a few more months.

December 10th 2008 The king mackerel have officially moved into the waters of Cocoa Beach in full force. It has been unbelievable this past week, when the bait hits the water you will have a king mackerel ready to attack it. We are also steadily having cobia charge the boat and with each day we will see more and more cobia invading the reef. The bottom fishing is also very good. The red snapper are biting really well and the grouper are starting to follow suit. Amberjacks are also all to ready to test your strength and pull against you until you say uncle. If you are thinking about taking a break from the Orlando theme parks and giving deep sea fishing a try, let me tell you this is the time to go. No patience is needed because the fishing is that good.

November 9th 2008 Finally we got a few nice days to go fishing and it was awesome. The red snapper are absolutely on the feed. The last 3 trips we have limited out every time on snapper and they are nice fish. Many of them are 10 to 15 lbs and a few are 20lbs and bigger. We are also catching some big grey grouper 20lbs to 35lbs. After limiting out on snapper the last trip I had about 45 minutes left and decided to slow troll. We caught 2 kings very quickly and then landed a 52lb wahoo. The kings will be here (I think they already are) any day now and we can expect some fast action on the troll. We should also see some nice cobia in the mix. The shark fishing is very slow right now but if you are interested in a port trip we are getting some fast action from jacks, lady fish, and blues. We will also have some good pompano fishing along the shoal for those who are looking for an alternative to deep sea.

October 7th 2008 The fishing this past month has been extremely unpredictable. The weather has been terrible only giving us a few days to go fishing. On the days we do get out  we are catching a good variety by trolling weed lines and color changes. Dolphin fish, blackfin tuna and sail fish can be expected on any given day. The bottom fishing is a little unpredictable. One day its good and the next day its poor. However the winter months are great for bottom fishing, we just need to wait for the bite to turn on. I know this report doesn't seem all that positive but as soon as we get a few consecutive days of good weather I am absolutely positive we will have great fishing. The shark fishing has been very poor. It should be good right now because of the endless amount of bait fish (mullet) running along the coast. I think we need the water to clean up a little and the shark fishing will be game on.

August 25th 2008 Today was the first trip out since Tropical storm Fay dumped gallons upon gallons of water onto the state. Unfortunately the fishing was horrible. We tried everything. We slow trolled a few different areas. We bottom fished everything from 60ft, 100ft, 140ft, 160ft, 220ft and 260ft. We also fished behind shrimp boats trying to chum up anything. We tried fishing shallow wrecks for cobia and sight fishing a hard edge in about 45ft of water. On a positive note the water didn't look to bad at all. The water was surprisingly clean and the fishing should really improve within a few days. We also went shark fishing for the first time since Fay. The shark trip was very successful. The water level from the storm is way up and the Canaveral locks are staying open to let water out of the lagoon. This is pushing a ton of bait out the mouth of the port and causing a feeding frenzy of red drum, snook, flounder etc. In return the sharks are feeding on everything. We caught a 7ft lemon shark a big bottom ray, 2 red drum and a handful of mangrove snapper. We also missed a few other large sharks. I will post another report after the weekend and hopefully I will have a better report for offshore.

July 28th 2008  The live bait trolling continues to be the best bet for a action packed day of fishing. We are still doing very well with the king mackerel. The kings are nice fish ranging 10 to 30 pounds. We had a few trip last week where we caught several 30 plus pound kings and 1 that weighed 44lbs. The cobia are definitely still around. Some days we have several cobia and some days we don't catch any but they are always a welcomed bonus while slow trolling. The dolphin have been about the same as the cobia. Three days ago we trolled ballyhoo for over 2 hours and never even saw a dolphin and the next day we were live bait trolling and started to see them everywhere. We caught 20 dolphin that day. The bottom fishing is started to pick up. We are catching mostly amber jacks but a few grouper have been in the mix. I think in a few weeks the bottom fishing should be real good. The shark fishing has dramatically slowed within the last week. We are still catching a decent number of sharks but most of them are very small. I think the shark fishing will pick back up after a strong current we have had close to shore goes away. The sharks tend to prefer slightly dirtier water and the current is keeping the water very clean.

June 20th 2008 The live bait trolling has continued to be awesome. The king mackerel are very numerous and very willing to bite. Yesterday we caught 23 king mackerel, 1 cobia, 1 bonito and 4 barracuda. That is a very fun, non stop action packed day. This is excellent fishing for kids because most of the time patience is not needed. The bottom fishing for grouper and snapper is very very slow. We have a thermo cline that has the bottom very cold and dirty. We have been able to pick at a few snapper in the shallow water but no luck at all in the deep water. The shark trips have been very productive with several species being caught every night. Black nose sharks, nurse sharks, atlantic sharp nose shark, spinner sharks and the occasional big lemon shark. We also have caught several nice king mackerel, jack crevalle and tarpon on some of our most recent shark trips.

May 25th 2008 The live bait (pogies) has arrived and the live bait trolling has really been productive. The last few trips the king mackerel have been really putting on a show. The last trip out we caught 14 kings in 1 and a half hours we also landed a cobia and a nice 15lb dolphin. The nightly shark trips have been very good also. We are catching several sharks each trip. Most of them smaller atlantic sharp nose & bonnet head sharks but we are getting a few large lemon sharks and hammer head. The trolling for dolphin has slowed considerably but we might get a second run here soon. The bottom fishing for grouper and snapper just cant seem to get good. Some trips we are doing very well in areas and the next day you cant get a bite. If you are looking for fast pace action and just all around awesome fishing. Let us take you and your family/friends out for a day of live bait fishing and I guarantee you will have a action packed fun filled day.

April 28th 2008 We have had a chance to test the bottom fishing this last week. We did very well on red snapper in the shallow water but we only had 1 grey grouper. The deep water is still very poor on the bottom fish. The trolling for dolphin is going off. We haven't been catching great numbers of dolphin but most of the fish are in the 15 to 35 pound range and we have been averaging 5 to 10 fish per day. Just last night the shark fishing really seemed to pick up. We caught 7 sharks most of the spinner and black nose but we did have a couple shots at some real big sharks. They were most likely hammer heads or lemon sharks.

April 15th 2008 Here soon we should be done with the cold fronts and be ready for the calm days of summer. The cold fronts have held the cobia here and we are still having great luck targeting these fish in the later part of the day. This past week I have seen some awesome dolphin fish being brought to the dock. I have seen more 30 plus pound fish this past week than I normally see in a year. The kings were on the reef about 18 miles out and will be their with even more numbers when the water gets calm and stays clean. The bottom fishing is very slow but it is showing signs of improvement especially in the shallower water. I will write another report the first day I have a good bottom trip. Shark fishing is not red hot yet but we have caught some really nice sharks in our recent trips. Big bull and lemon sharks on a steady basis and we have had 1 giant hammer head on the line that busted off after a 1 and 2o minute battle. On average we are getting 3 or 4 sharks per evening.

March 3rd 2008 Look out here come the cobia for their migratory assault on Port Canaveral. The cobia fishing has been awesome. We are steadily finding them on the reefs and many wrecks we have offshore Canaveral. On several occasions in the last few weeks I have walked to the transom of the boat to find up to 20 cobia asking me to feed them something. We have also spotted several mana rays escorting cobia and sight casting to cobia under big mana rays is just awesome. The mackerel bite has slowed a bit because of the cold fronts that have decided to hit us every 3 days but I think as soon as we get into some consistent warm weather and a ocean that remains calm and clean the kings will be back in full force just as good as last month. The bottom fishing has remained real solid with nice catches of grouper, snapper, and some very large back breaking amber jack. The bottom fishing did seem to be a little slow yesterday I am not sure exactly why but I will report back the next time we go bottom fishing. Soon we should have some decent dolphin fishing, I have started seeing several schools of very small fish but I believe the good ones will be here soon. The shark fishing has been a little slow, most night we are only getting 2 or 3 shots at sharks but some of the ones we have been getting are the nice sand tigers in the 300lb range.

Feb 8th 2008 We have been fishing non stop for almost 2 weeks now. Just about everything is biting. We have been steadily catching smoker king mackerel with many of the fish weighing well over 25lbs. The cobia run has started early Capt. Stan has already put a 59 pounder on the dock  and we have had several over 30 pounds. The grouper, snapper and amber jack are still biting as good if not better than they were in November. The shark fishing is very good, Capt. Dave caught his first sand tiger a few nights ago. The shark was estimated around 400lbs. The only thing that is not biting is trolling for dolphin and wahoo but it should pick up in April and May.

January 9th 2008 We went out and tested the bottom fishing today after receiving a excellent report from Capt. Stan who fished with the Wednesday crew the day before and did very well with several grouper and snapper. The bottom fishing is just fine we fished 3 spots and caught 4 gag grouper 6 amberjack and several red snapper that were just short of keepers we also busted several grouper off. We  left a few hours to king fish and we quickly caught our limit of 14 fish. I also got a chance to test the shark fishing. While it wasn't red hot we did manage to catch 1 real nice spinner shark about 6ft and lost a few others.

January 2008 The fishing right now is on fire. On most day's we are catching king mackerel as fast as we can put bait in the water and on other days you might have to wait 30 seconds. The cobia have really started to show in good numbers and most of them have been big fish in the 25 to 50 pond range. Also while targeting the kings we have been catching the occasional sailfish witch is always a welcomed bonus. The bottom fishing has been really good and should remain that way, however the last few days it has slowed a bit. I am sure after the ocean calm's and we can get back out to the deep water the grouper, snapper and amberjack will be back on the feed. I will post another report as soon as I get a chance to test the bottom bite in the deep.

November 2007 This month can be really exceptional for bottom fishing. The grouper and snapper can really stack up on the many wrecks and reefs we have offshore Canaveral. While targeting the grouper and snapper we frequently catch cobia & numerous other species. Thanksgiving day kicks off the start of are king mackerel run. The kings will stack up by the thousands (yes I said thousands) on the reefs. It can literally be a non-stop fire fight with these awesome fish jumping clear out of the water when they strike. The best part about targeting these kings is when the conditions are right you don't need to have any patience. On our shark trips. We are still consistently catching large black tip and spinner sharks. We are also catching black nose and bonnet head sharks. The fishing will be great as long as we don't stay beat down by tropical storms and strong North winds. If we do get tropical storms coming thru the area, make sure you are ready to go fishing as soon as the ocean calms down. We will have debris and strong color changes where we can catch mahi mahi (dolphin), wahoo and sail fish.

September 2007  The fishing has remained excellent all year long and this month shows no sign of slowing. The first week of September we were plagued with bad weather and it did make the first couple trips of the month difficult. Now that we have the calm ocean back, the fishing is on. The king mackerel are biting fast and furious on the reef and we are still getting the occasional cobia, dolphin and black fin tuna in the mix while we are targeting the kings. We are also catching large barracuda just about every trip while targeting the king's (Barracudas love to eat king's right off the line). Barracuda are a awesome sight to see. Yes they often will eat a good dinner fish for the table but when you get the chance to do battle with one, they truly are impressive. The bottom fishing has remained solid. We are catching very nice gag grouper; several of them over 30lbs. The amber jack have been very numerous also and pound for pound nothing fights better than a amber jack. The mullet run is on along our coast and this is great for the shark fishing. We are not catching many of the smaller sharks but we are getting a few shots each trip at large spinner and black tip sharks. These sharks have typically been over 100lbs. The shark trips have also been producing some nice tarpon and they are always a welcomed bonus.

We look forward to taking you your family and friends fishing. Please e-mail or call me if you have any questions or special request.
