It’s been hit or miss the last week here in Brevard. Seems as though most bigger Pompano have moved either further north, south, or into our lagoon searching for food and ideal water tempratures. Water temperatures are what really drive these fish! Here in Central Florida, water in between 66-68 seems to be especially conducive to the bite, give or take a few degrees. Most Pompano being caught are on the short side although at select beaches some anglers are getting very few keepers. Looks like the northern part of the county is producing more quality fish.
We had a good whiting bite in southern Brevard this week. Been catching a few croakers as well, which is telling me that the spring snook bite should turn on shortly. Still catching plenty of mackerel in the surf as well as blues. Using small spoons or mackerel jigs is your ticket to bring home some dinner!
Remember to look for the outflows and clean water when targeting Pompano and for the Whiting it’s the deep areas closer to shore that have Ben holding a few studs!
Going out and finding out yourself at your local beach will only help you stack your odds of catching more fish! Good luck this week!
