Scottsmoore Landing Boat Ramp Fishmap

Generally Speaking, the better fishing in this area will be along the eastern shoreline of the Indian River Lagoon. Due to the lack of development pressure brought on by protection as a Wildlife Refuge, the seagrass beds in this area are among the healthiest in the lagoon . You will not find any spoil islands in the area because the Intracoastal Waterway turns to the east through Haulover Canal, located south of here before continuing on its northward journey.

Don't rule out the western shoreline either here. While the flats may not be as expansive the seagrasses are here, due to the protection from shoreline development brought on by the existence of the Florida East Coast Railroad. This has resulted in the protection of this portion of the lagoon from stormwater runoff that is prevelant in other areas, making this a good launch site for kayak fishers that may not want to paddle across the lagoon to the eastern shoreline.
