ONE OF BREVARD’S BEST CATCHES, FISHING THE INDIAN RIVER!

Did you know that the Indian River is the longest section of Florida’s Indian River Lagoon system? The 150+ mile Indian River begins in New Smyrna Beach and stretches all the way towards Stuart moving through areas like Merritt Island, Sebastian and Vero Beach. It’s home to all kinds of wildlife such as alligators, manatees, dolphins, otters, raccoons and lots of fish!   

The abundance of fish make the Indian River well known for its excellent fishing. From Redfish to Speckled Trout to Tarpon and Snook, it’s a fisherman’s dream. 

 In fact, the Indian River Lagoon Spotted Sea Trout are world famous. The ecosystem of the river is perfect territory for speckled trout because of the grassy beds and mangroves that attract lots of shrimp and mullet, which the speckled trout feed on. 

The Florida state record speckled trout was caught in the Indian River. The potential for world records in the Lagoon is a big pull for hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area every year.
