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.
Most of the good bites have been on the backside of dead low tide, with only about an hour window or so to capitalize. Casting farther out has been a necessity due to how low the tide has been. There have been plenty of whiting and black drum running up and down the beaches, with a few decent pompano mixed in. And I’m sure everyone who fished knows, those little sharks have been everywhere!
The bait of choice has been frozen Blue Magic shrimp and live sand fleas, rigged on a pompano rig with a sputnik weight. The color of the pompano floats hasn’t seemed to matter much lately, so pick whichever one looks appealing to you. Just make sure the shrimp are peeled and about thumbnail size before putting them on the hook.
Stay tuned to our social media, we’ll be announcing a surf rod and reel giveaway in the coming days!
As always, tight lines!
