You get a special thrill when you go exploring and discover something good in a place where you’ve never been. Florida's Space Coast offers many such opportunities. You might think that after fishing in the same area for over 20 years that this feeling might be hard to come by. But there is so much water here, and so many different ways to approach it, that several times every year I still feel the thrill of discovery sending chills up my spine.

Where Are We?
The Space Coast lies an hour’s drive east of Disney World. The waters here include the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon system, with three major parts- the Indian River Lagoon, the Mosquito Lagoon, and the Banana River Lagoon. Since the ocean is typically too rough for small craft during the winter, let’s take a closer look at the lagoons.

The Indian River Lagoon (IRL)
The IRL stretches for 156 miles behind a series of barrier islands along Florida’s mid-Atlantic coast. Averaging only three feet deep, the IRL is the most biologically diverse estuary in North America. For an angler, that means there are lots of different species to target, fishing that’s available 365 days a year.
