Hey everyone, Salty Sarge here. We have a great action-packed Surf report for Satellite Beach this past weekend. First and foremost, the winds have finally calmed down and there was little rip tide action. This gave team Spacefish the perfect opportunity to target the big bluefish run that’s been happening all up and down Satellite beaches.
We fished the Magellan and A1A beach access and Sunrise and A1A access. Although these areas are full of coquina rocks, we managed to land the blues we were targeting. Using only frozen shrimp and cut mullet we were pulling in choice blues one after another. The blue fish tend to swim in schools so we were getting consistent bites in waves. One person would get a fish and the others would get bites down the beach as the schools of blues would make there way down the beach. We landed some very nice blues; some of which were well into the 20″ range (tip: bluefish have to be 12″ min and only 10 can be harvested per person per day).
Blues weren’t the only fish we landed. We also caught three keeper Spanish Mackerel (which have to be 12″ and a bag limit of 15 per person), and these fish are not seen too much off the beaches in the area. Next up, we pulled in some bull whiting reaching 15.” These fish are not regulated and are one of my favorite eating fish with it’s white flaky flesh. We hammered one good size black drum which have to be 14″ and a slot up to 28.” We hit the mark around 18.” One of my good friends landed a 2.5′ – 3′ long Bonnet Head shark that gave him a nice solid fight. Some of us landed some juvenile African Pompano but not on size to make it count as for these fish have to be 24″ to keep. We also pulled in two under-size jacks out of the surf.
Satellite beach was full of action this weekend, and Team Spacefish nailed it again in the surf. We love to bring you what’s HOT and what’s NOT every week. This weekend the beach was hot and delivering many different species. Fishing with a group of friends and family leads a great time, so go on and make your own adventures and keep coming back to spacefishreport.com.
This is the Salty Sarge signing off. OVER AND OUT.
