Anglers will still be on the hunt for cobia this month along the near-shore waters outside of the Port. Some decent sized fish came to the docks last month and even though we’re in the last stages of the spring run this month we are expecting to have decent fishing for them as long as the bait pods of pogies, sardines, and greenies remain along this portion of the coast. The average cobia has been in the 25 to 30 pound range which is a great size for light tackle enthusiasts using 15-20 pound class gear. All the usual lucaptjimrossMar 24th, 2014
It’s April, gang and I can’t tell you how much I like saying it. I’m asked countless times by my clients throughout the year “when” is the best time to fish in this area.Brevard EditionMar 24th, 2014
The action in Sebastian Inlet has been good for several months with a lot of pompano, jacks, bluefish and mackerel. The action in the inlet is good with the jacks, reds and snook eating well at night on live bait and jigs. The snook bite on live bait at the jetty has been hit or miss during the day, with some slot size snook caught on shrimp and pinfish. The pompano bite has slowed down but you can still find a few good fish moving through the inlet and along the beaches near the inlet. Bonito and big schools of jacks will be roaming the beaches close to the inlet and provide a lot of fun for anglers.
With more bait in the lagoon and the clean water, the trout and redfish have been easier to target. Black Point, Mullet Creek, Snag Harbor and Hog Point are all good areas to target trout, reds and snook. Look for schools of bait roaming the shorelines and work those areas. Also target the drop offs around the spoil islands and any flats with grass. The topwater action will improve for the species mentioned above as well as jacks and ladyfish also which are fun to catch on light tackle. Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinMar 24th, 2014
Shrimping season is in full swing. The sounds of 5 gallon buckets echo from Titusville to Oak Hill, Florida. Seems Volusia County has been more kind and shows mercy spiting a minimum of 1-2 gallons on any given night. Titusville on the other hand remains moody in February/March and is starting to show some excitement from the Titusville pier all the way to Haulover Canal. Bottom line - when it comes to Brevard County, those crickets are going to run when they feel like it. Brevard - Capt LeenogaMar 24th, 2014
This is no “April Fool’s Joke” there are fish in our Brevard County Surf. Reports from March confirm that the fishing is picking up from Cocoa Beach to Sebastian Inlet. Catches of whiting, pompano, drum, jacks and sheepshead have been reported at the tackle shops along the beach. With all the beach restoration projects this winter it has been hard to find clean water on any number of the southern beaches. Now that the beach restoration projects are coming to an end there is less silt in the water and disturbance from heavy equipment along the shoreline. More and more beaches have clean water and with the dominate April weather pattern (calm westerly winds) our surf fishing should improve greatly. Brevard - John DetmerMar 24th, 2014
Why do I like April? Because April and the months following offer some of the best fishing of the year. Stable weather patterns with moderate temperatures virtually assure active, hungry fish! Brevard EditionMar 24th, 2014
The Kayak fishing community has grown by leaps and bounds recently. Many new and exciting events have popped up over the past few years. Capt. AlexMar 24th, 2014
The water has warmed considerably over the last two weeks. The bite is still strong in the inlet and just outside the inlet for bluefish, Spanish mackerel and Jack crevalle, however, the bite for pompano has slowed down a bit.Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinFeb 25th, 2014
Group hug. The morale has hit an all-time low back in January. Snap out of it, we are right where we should be for this time of year.Brevard - Capt LeenogaFeb 25th, 2014
Well let's see what I can talk about, I know FISHING. As I am writing this the winds are blowing hard and the seas are rough. Brevard - Capt Douglas KaskaFeb 25th, 2014
