The Shrimp are starting to show up throughout the Space Coast!

The beach is still holding lots of fish. The sheepshead and the whiting are particularly abundant with the choice of bait being live shrimp, clams and sand fleas. There are still a few pompano hanging around and plenty of sharks along with some black drum. The seaweed got pretty bad but the anglers who put up with it caught PLENTY of fish. The croakers are starting to show up so everybody knows what that means — the snook will be right behind them, so get ready to stretch your lines!

In the river it seems that the sail catfish have taken over but there’s still a few reds, trout and sheepshead being caught around the bridges. But best of all — look what finally showed up! congratulations go out to the Anglers for their shrimp catch last night! Reports are coming in that shrimp are running and they are catching them at Haulover Canal, Pineda Causeway (State Road 404 ), at the 192 Bridge (pictured), and a few here and there at Mathers Bridge.
