Between the Eau Gallie and Pineda causeways there are a lot of trout, mangrove snapper, black drum and some snook being caught in the lagoon. You can’t go wrong with live shrimp, and right now it’s at the top of the menu for all of these species. Down south, we’ve been pleasantly surprised to see so many pompano being caught in the lagoon around Sebastian Inlet. Anglers have been doing well on these pomps with Goofy jigs tipped with shrimp.

On the beach and offshore, the sargassum situation remains at center focus. Although it’s weedy in the surf, there are still some pompano lingering, and plenty of margates and whiting are out there. Weeds remain scattered all over the place offshore, but we’re still seeing some dolphin being caught and the bottom bite has been good for mangrove snapper. Sharks have been numerous, though, so don’t be shocked if you lose a fish or two to the tax man!
