One of the best-kept secrets about the Space Coast is the fantastic fishing, both fresh and saltwater. There are more than 500 species of fish and the largest tri- pletail in the IGFA Record Books was caught off of Cape Canaveral. The Space Coast is the northernmost boundary on the East Coast for snook, has some of the largest spotted seatrout around, is home to one of the top largemouth bass fisheries in the world, and is the redfish capital of the world. Why not come out for a day or charter a special trip. www.visitspacecoast.com/things-to-do/boating-fishing. Pricing varies.
