How’s everyone doing? I hope you’ve managed to catch some fish despite the challenging conditions caused by the southeast winds, which have brought in dirty water along with crabs and catfish. Despite these conditions, we ended last week on a high note with catches of pompano, black drum, and bull whiting. We’re expecting another week of southeast winds, but fortunately, the waves should stay manageable at around 2-3 feet.
For this week’s fishing, I recommend using pompano rigs equipped with Sputniks or heavy triangle weights. Your bait selection should remain consistent: frozen shrimp pieces, live sand fleas, and clam strips are still effective. The electric chicken Fishbites have been particularly successful recently, adding a unique touch to our baits. Black drum and whiting are biting close to shore, as they are more scent-driven. Pompano have been found further out, so consider casting beyond the second bar to increase your chances. Orange and chartreuse floats have been effective lately.
Now, about the sharks: they’ve been teaming up with stingrays to target our baits. Bonito, ladyfish chunks, and whole mullets have been popular choices, attracting bites even in non-ideal conditions. Due to the murky water, it’s best to cast your baits as far as possible.
I’d like to thank Brevard County Surf Fishing Reports on Facebook, especially Mr. Gordon for today’s photo. It’s great to get updates from different sources, not just from my own fishing experiences and customer interactions. That’s all for this week—tight lines!
