Banana River Fishing Guide Service for Redfish

Chicago chiropractor Nowell Abood, his son Anthony and friend Sam had a day on the water with a Banana River Fishing Guide Service with Captain Richard Bradley looking for redfish with light tackle.

As we started the day Nowell explained to their fishing guide, "Sam won't touch a fish, he's a chicken when it comes to fish slim! Can you help him overcome this fear?" Well, by the end of the day Capt. Richard had not persuaded Sam to even put a finger on a fish, but Sam did manage to pull in a three foot redfish, some small Banana River snook, and another redfish on the end of a fishing line. "Those slimy little finger mullet and pilchards in the cast net, no way! ick!"

"Our guide took us in some backwater for snook and tarpon. He hooked us up with a snook and showed us alligators and manatees, we'll be back for more fishing fun in the summer."

"Nowell Abood is a heck of a gentlemen and brought some great kids. As a fishing guide, I have to commend Nowell for raising a great son with a heart and mind to listen and learn. Thank you Nowell for a most enjoyable day on the water with your family."

There's not a better way to spend a day than on the Banana River Lagoon chasing after elusive redfish. Somedays the reds are schooling up and easy to find, but often you'll have to do some work and apply tactics for each situation and conditions as needed to hookup with redfish in the Banana River.

Sightfishing is by far the most rewarding way to catch redfish on the Banana River. Having your guide push you along the shallow water grassflats looking for tailing or moving redfish is as exciting as it gets when the wind conditions allow you to. But often you'll have to resort to either plugging away in areas your guide has confidence in or live baiting to produce even more if the bait is available.

Banana River redfish are some of the biggest inshore redfish in the world. In the north part of the Banana River is a restricted area where access is by canoe or kayak as there is no motorized vessels allowed. Further north is the fully restricted waterways near Kennedy Space Center which is a breeding ground for redfish where they can spawn and feed without any human activity whatsoever. These areas are one of the reasons why the Banana River has so many redfish.
