We all know how great the weather has been this past week, but did you know the fishing was even better? Yes, the bite has been strong. In fact, if you ask me when is the best time of year to get out in the water, I will tell you it’s between now and Christmas. The cool/cold fronts of November and early December only seem to make the bite pick up in between the warmer days that follow them. So, I’m looking forward to this pattern continuing through the next few weeks. Once we start to drop our near-coastal water temps below 70 degrees the bite will start to slow, but until then it’s wide open on most days.

For species, you can expect a good variety including pompano, tripletail, snook, redfish, speckled trout, bluefish, flounder, ladyfish, black drum and crevalle jack. All of these fish species will strike live shrimp on a fish finder rig or light jig head. Pink, orange, and yellow goofy jigs are also top producers for all of these fish. The pompano, jack and snook in particular love to strike these jigs when we fish them through the surf break and around the troughs along our Space Coast beaches. If you’re looking for a fun outing without the African heat, we have most of the year, the next few weeks are just what you’ve been waiting for.

I missed last week’s report deadline, so I want to extend my Black Friday special through this week exclusively for all you Spacefish readers.
