River Notes:  Specializing in Redfish, Tarpon and Kingfish.  Excellent shellcracker and black bass fishing is to be had in the fresh water streams that enter the river from the mainland.  Florida's Indian River offers the best opportunity in the country to catch bragging-sized redfish in shallow water. Since the banning of the nets just a few years ago the number and size of redfish has increased dramatically. The word has long been out that massive schools of redfish roam the extensive grassflats of the Indian River, the Banana River, and Mosquito Lagoon. As a result, fishing pressure has increased significantly. At times, redfish can be difficult to find. They also spook rather easily. When you can get close enough to cast to them, redfish sometimes refuse every spoon, jig, and plug that you cast.
