Another sun-shining 80-degree week is ahead of us, with the lingering east winds tagging along! The full moon is upon us, and the fishing has been hit or miss due to the dirty waters. The past week’s swell on the beach wasn’t bad, but the currents were churning. This happens when the moon is approaching full phase, causing large periods of rising and falling waves to push onto the beach.
Anytime the tides have been moving, they have been producing bites, and they haven’t really indicated which tide has been best for fishing. Bait-wise, sand fleas have continued to grow in thicker quantities in the Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach areas, which is a great sign for fishing! We just need that dang water to clear up for us to get an outstanding bite. Mother Nature knows best and will figure it out for us. Whiting, black drum, and a few sheepshead have shown up to the party and will continue this week coming up.
Frozen shrimp pieces and sand fleas have been the go-to baits for the past week, paired on a pompano rig with heavy triangles (4 oz – 5 oz) and 3 oz – 4 oz sputniks. Pink and orange floats have been the go-to if you’re into using floats on your rigs.
Shark fishing has been a tad bit hard this week due to the surf conditions, but they have been steadily caught. Bonito, ladyfish chunks, and whole mullets are the baits to target them. We have some secrets that have been producing bigger bites, but that’s an in-person kind of talk, you know. Stop by the shop and learn the secrets.
Looking forward to seeing y’all and tight lines!
