Surf Fishing As Good As it Gets!

Spring has sprung and surf fishing has been just about as good as it gets for us in the month of April!

TONS of Spanish mackerel are terrorizing the bait schools off the Space Coast’s beaches. Casting Clark Spoons rigged with #2 wire should help you from getting cut off as these fish do have sharp teeth! If you’re looking to target these fish from the beaches, the best time is the 2nd or 3rd day of consecutive offshore winds. It draws these mackerel closer to shore in better range of casting.

Pompano are still here!

We had a nice school come out of Sebastian Inlet this past week. All my customers got their six fish limit and one client got hooked up on a trophy permit! Pompano Riggs by Couture in pink/white floats and chart/white have been catching quality fish! Fishing an hour after high tide has been producing a strong bite. Sand fleas are a KEY bait for you catching these fish as well as fish bites in sand flea scent orange/white. If you’re looking for a larger selection of fish bites, Strike Zone on 192 in Melbourne is fully stocked on both Riggs, fish bites, and any other surf tackle!

You can’t go wrong with these products here.

Im starting to see a few migratory tarpon chase bait schools about 150 yards off the beaches in south Brevard. I look forward to these fish showing up thick in the coming weeks! Watching these silver kings roll and jump from the beach always catches your eye! Best way to target these trophy fish from the beach is by taking a kayak or a paddle board. Look for bait schools and having a sabiki ready — that is your tool! Wait till you see these tarpon roll before casting your bait. Cast 20ft in front of rolling fish and wait for the thump! If bait is hard for you to catch, or you wanna catch these kings on artificial, try switching to a Hogy Pro Tail 6.5″ Olive bone color in 3oz. This is a lure that tarpon just cant resist! I’ll be reporting back in the coming weeks on how to really target these fish and help land you a trophy!

Snook fishing on the beaches should be heating up in the coming weeks as well! Look for the croakers schooled up thick right in the first trough. You can use a Croaker Rigg by Couture to catch them with any surf tackle. Look for the shadows behind or in the schools of bait fish. These snook are usually right next to them! As the pompano start to move on, I’ll really start focusing on catching these line siders on surf tackle!
