Our Harbortown blog on all things of the boating, fishing, and water-loving lifestyle.
Harbortown Marina now offers an Outdoor Cradle Storage option for boats that don’t fit easily into covered rack storage spots. No matter the size or shape of your boat, we have a storage solution for her at Harbortown. Outdoor Cradle Storage is a great choice for larger boats, and is a more economic option than other types of dry storage.

When hooking a trout, it is common for them to come immediately to the surface shaking their heads often resulting in “the one that got away.” If you are lucky enough to still have a fish on the other line, expect the trout to make unpredictable runs from left to right, and if large enough, make sure your drag is set. Be careful to keep them away from the docks where they can run you across a barnacle covered pylon; then, it’s not only a lost fish but a lost lure or hook.
The Banana River is located in Central Florida, between Port Canaveral and Merritt island. While there is a huge variety of fish to go after in the Banana River, the most sought-after sport fish in this area are the spotted sea trout and redfish.
