What a turnaround we’ve had! The recent cold front fired things up along the beaches, and the bite has been solid. People in Cocoa Beach down through Cape Canaveral and Patrick, have been bringing in plenty of whiting, a few black drum, and a good mix of pompano—mostly small ones, but with some solid keepers in the mix.

This past weekend brought perfect conditions and some picture-worthy catches, and the forecast ahead looks just as promising. Surf height should stay in that sweet spot for fishing, though expect a bit of wind to keep you on your toes. The only downside is the water clarity. It’s still a bit dirty after the front, and that may hang around a little while longer. Sputniks would be a good thing to have in your bag for some days. Most of the days you can get a 3-4oz pyramid to hold but it just depends on the current.

As for bait, the top baits have been live sand fleas and frozen shrimp pieces fished on a pink and white pompano rig. Some guys have been using chartreuse floats as well. We are now stocking live sand fleas for the season.

Overall, it’s shaping up to be another great week to surf fish. As always tight lines and look forward to seeing y’all in the shop!
