Ladyfish are cousins of the much larger tarpon. They have a long, slender body and are fairly small, averaging 2 to 3 pounds. They are fun to catch for young anglers, but for most adult anglers, ladyfish are used for bait. Ladyfish can easily be caught with a small hook, weight and live shrimp, small bait fish or cut bait.
Ladyfish Fishing in the Space Coast Area
Ladyfish can be a fun fish to catch, especially for younger anglers. They do not get very big, so the more experienced anglers usually see them as bait for bigger fish. Ladyfish are an excellent bait alive and as cut bait. There will be plenty of ladyfish in the inshore waters of the Space Coast. The inshore waters consist of the Indian River, Mosquito Lagoon and the Banana River.
