Space Coast Redfish Still Cooperating
With cooler air temperatures, fishing is a lot more comfortable than the summer and early fall heat of just a few months ago. While cold fronts can affect the fishing, the gradual cooler temperatures have been good to area anglers fishing the Space Coast.
Check out the full report from Capt. Chris Myers Guide Service. For more information on the Space Coast:

Beaver Lake Striped Bass Fishing Is Hot
The weather is cold, but the striped bass fishing is hot on Beaver Lake. Andreasen’s Striper Guide Service is reporting some excellent catches with limits coming in as quick as one hour on the water. Here is a picture from one of their trips on December 10, 2009.

Salmo Sting Review - Salmo Lures
“Trigger more strikes? Well, no other long body minnow bait does it like the Sting. Testing shows that in the suspending models, actually suspend! We are talking about not changing depth AT ALL once it gets to a certain depth. How is it done? It’s a trade secret from the Salmo lure designers, but nothing like it has ever been created! Most suspending baits drift up or down within seconds of stopping, the Sting just does not move.
Also available in floating models, the Sting is easy to fish and works amazingly well as a twitch bait on the surface or as a high speed trolling lure. This is one versatile and effective Salmo lure. Bass, Walleye, trout, pike and dozens of saltwater fish have fallen victim to the Sting of Salmo.” From Salmo Lures
Our Review: Dependable crankbaits that just catch fish. You can catch largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye on these lures. They will cover depths of 2 to about 12 feet deep depending on the size and if you are casting or trolling.

Salmo Chubby Darter Review - Salmo Lures
“It is hard to believe a lure that has only been sold for six years can become a classic, but the Chubby Darter has become a “must have” among ice fisherman. The unique action of the Chubby Darter is primarily for vertical fishing where the bait quivers and darts as the angler pulls upward on the rod tip. Trout, perch, crappie, walleye and pike all fall for the Chubby Darter.“
Our Review: We like ‘em. (especially the perch color) Many anglers don’t like to fish vertical over deep water, but they are really missing out. Use your electronics to find some deep water structure where fish are located, then drop this lure down to the bottom and start jigging it up and then let it fall. Repeat the process until you’ve reached your limit. A good lure for catching crappie, especially slab crappie, perch, white bass, yellow bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, pike and trout.

Salmo Bullhead Review - Salmo Lures
“You would think everyone would have a Bullhead or Goby imitation, but they don’t! Too bad, because Salmo knows that fish just love to eat them. Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye and trout eagerly grab the Salmo Bullhead. The unique, flat head design and shape gives the Bullhead a great wobble action for such a small profile bait. Available in floating and sinking models as well as Super Deep Runners. The only secret here is to get the Bullhead of choice down to the fish”
Our Review: Solid crankbait. Salmo Lures says that they have a good goby imitation and we have to agree. The bullhead and sparkle bullhead do resemble a goby, although we would rather fish vertical with soft plastics when we’re trying to imitate gobies, crankbaits are a nice option as well. A good lure for largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye.

Salmo Hornet Review - Salmo Lures
“It might not look it, but this little crankbait is totally revolutionary. Made from high density foam, not flimsy balsa wood or hollow plastic. The Hornet is a super durable crankbait that will catch you hundreds of fish without falling apart. The Hornet’s rod shaking action triggers fish like walleye, crappie, bass and trout. Ideal for trolling and casting with great success. By far, the Salmo Hornet is the best multi-species fish catcher you’ll ever own.” From Salmo Lures
Our Review: Definitely up there with the rapala crankbaits. Some anglers even think this is a better crankbait. We’ll leave that up to you to decide. It’s a very good crankbait, especially, the perch color. Very good color selection also. This crankbait will catch walleye, bass and northern pike.
