cocoa beach surf fishing

The fishing in the Volusia County area has been pretty hot, with pompano, whiting, bluefish and Spanish mackerel being the main bite.

Getting out early and fishing thru the tide changes has been the best times. As far as baits live fleas, fresh dead shrimp, with fishbites and fish gum on a standard single r double drop rig with enough weight to hold in the current.

For those that enjoy throwing artificial plugs for bluefish and Spanish top water poppers and pencil plugs early while the conditions are flat and calm, and as the sun gets up and the bait pods start getting pushed switch to your silver spoons an match the hatch of mullet and glass minnows.
While out keep a close watch for rays working close to the beach for the shot at a cobia that might be with them.
