SPACEFISH REPORT

Had an awesome day fishing Melbourne Beach on Friday (2/27/2026) with the Glass Family, who were visiting from Michigan. We got out early and it was a hazy start to the day. There was a rocket launch originally scheduled around 5:20am, but it got pushed back to just around 7.

Hey gang, it’s been an interesting few weeks as you all know with the weather the way it has been. Now that we’ve turned the corner on winter and we’re heading solidly into our spring season, you can expect the winds to pick up for the next 4 to 6-weeks.

We only got offshore a couple of times last week, but we were able to put our customers on some fun fishing and good eats.

Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet friends and family! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Here we go with the first report for March. For the most part fishing remains kind of slow, but there are fish around that are willing to play, you just need to be there when they do!

Great week of inshore and nearshore fishing. Pompano were on fire inshore right after the last cold front with one of the best bites I’ve seen in several years.

The fishing just north of Brevard County has really been ramping up this past week. The cooler temperatures have seemed to have left and the fish are happy.

We finally got some decent reports of fish being caught off the beach this past week. Although many of the notable catches were closer to Sebastian, there were still a few solid reports in the Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach areas.

I don’t want to jinx us by saying winter is finally over and spring is in the air but I am. Our area waters can finally get some much-needed warmer water for the fish to start feeding aggressively.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO if you made a basic inquiry about an item for sale on FB marketplace and the seller, a random stranger, asked you to go fishing with them?

I was able to get out one night this week with snook squarely in my crosshairs.

I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoyed a warm weekend because this morning was chilly! We are still in that wonky weather pattern of a few warm days followed by a sobering cold snap. It’s quite a roller coaster! This can make fishing challenging, because things are so all over the place.

62° water temps at blast off this morning and the bite has been steady. With a cold front pushing in over the next few days, expect the artificial bite to tighten up a bit — but the live bait bite is improving daily as these prespawn fish stage up.

The Atlantic red snapper population is at record levels of abundance. The stock is healthy, not overfished, and not undergoing overfishing. Yet despite that reality, federal management has limited Florida anglers to just one or two days in recent years.

Big booms for everyone! If you haven’t checked my social media pages lately then you haven’t seen all of the giant black drum we’ve been catching lately in the Indian River and near-coastal waters outside of Port Canaveral. It’s been a drum-fest for sure.

Here we go with this week’s SLOW report of the fishing at the inlet. Most, if not all the action was on the north jetty last week, and over the weekend, as the SSE winds we had at the end of the week just ruined the south side and turned it into a huge mud hole!
