Banana River Fishing Information

The Banana River Lagoon is located on Florida's East Coast and is part of the lagoon system that includes the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). While technically the Banana River Lagoon does not host the ICW, the lagoons share the same water and characteristics. The Banana River lagoon's most northern area is connected to the Banana Creek running through the Kennedy Space Center and connecting to the Indian River Lagoon as it wanders westward. If you could continue north on an air boat for a short distance you'd pickup on the famous fishing mecca the Mosquito Lagoon and onto New Smyrna Inlet or further north on the ICW. North Banana includes the famous No Motor Zone or NMZ as it's often referred where canoes and kayaks make their way to the most fertile shallow water redfishing in the world, barred none (even the Mosquito Lagoon). After September 9, 2001 the federal government closed most of this presteen waterway to any boat traffic and it's become a breeding ground for even more Banana River fish including world record sized sea trout and redfish.
Following the waterway southward the shorelines of the Banana River become developed toward Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Metro Merritt Island.


"It's still a great fishing destination in the central Banana River Lagoon. When I grew up on the Banana River, it was the simply the best place to fish on Florida's east coast and still remains a favorite destination for anglers."
explains Captain Richard Bradley
If you continue south you'll find Cocoa Beach's thousand islands and pass by Merritt Island's Horte Point and the entrance to Merritt Island's Newfound Harbor and northward to Sykes Creek and it's residential canals and swampy headwaters north of the Barge Canal. Pladding southward again you'll discover gin clear flats and pelican covered islands on the Banana River's west bank and Merritt Island's eastern shoreline of Tropical Trail wear wading anglers find tailing redfish and large seatrout. At the very south end of Merritt Island is dragon point and that's were there the Banana River and Indian River lagoon merge and ends the official end of the Banana River Lagoon.

Banana River Fishing Guide Updates

Hello,
The Banana River lagoon is one of the best fishing destinations on the East Coast of the United States. We fish for redfish all year around along with spotted sea trout and the occassional tarpon and snook. You'll love to go fishing and boating on the waters that I grew up on as I let you discover the wonderful wildlife including manatees, alligators and more. It's truly exciting everytime I get out on the water with customers to show them the bounty of the Banana River lagoon and it's adjacent waterways from the Indian River Lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean.

As always I look forward to hearing from many of you soon, if you need to contact Captain Gina and settup a Banana River fishing charter please call her at (321) 868-4953 or just fill out the form on the left.

God Bless,

Captain Richard Bradley

"We had a great day of fishing with Captain Richard of Lagooner Fishing Guides this spring with our little family member Harley. Richard showed us how to catch bait in a cast net and then took us to clear seagrass flat where we caught snook and jacks. It was a blast and we look forward to fishing on the Banana River again next year when we come back with Banana River Fishing Guide Captain Richard.
