For the most part, the past week has shown little to no weeds and has been fishable in the Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach areas. The water is still pretty dirty, but the best part is that the dredging has stopped! We’re also going to see our beloved Blue Magic shrimp again next week—the wait is finally over!
The beach has been producing a lot of whiting, palometas, and sharks. Oh, and of course, the pesky catfish love the dirty water. The best bait has been frozen shrimp rigged on a white-float pompano rig. Depending on the wave height, a 3–5 oz pyramid sinker has been working just fine.
We always try to let people know that not all shrimp brands are the same—not because they’re different species, but due to the quality of processing from catch to packaging. The Triple Crown bait shrimp we just started carrying seem to be the best in terms of longevity once thawed and staying on the hook.
We’re also excited to announce that we’re nearly finished with our new bait tanks! In the very near future, we’ll be stocking live croakers, mud minnows, fiddlers, and, as always, shrimp. Stay tuned and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on our progress!
Hope everyone has an awesome week—and as always, tight lines!
