For this week the surf has been up and down with the water conditions after the rain storm and small front that moved through.

The fishing in the Volusia County area has been pretty hot, with pompano, whiting, bluefish and Spanish mackerel being the main bite.

The best bite south of the inlet has been on the outgoing tide, using fresh shrimp, and sandfleas along with electric chicken fishbites in the crab flavor.

The water temperatures are cooling and the fish are biting. This week we have been seeing more keeper pompano showing up here, with catches up and down the coast. Along with the pompano are so nice big whiting.

The beaches have started to clear up from the grass and the fish are chewing. Early morning and evenings have been the best times, with good numbers of pompano being caught and large whiting.

Here in Volusia County we are still dealing with light weeds and dirty water. Prime time has been early morning until 10am or so and in the afternoon from around 4pm to dark. With whiting, pompano and catfish being the hot bite. Fresh shrimp and live sand fleas being the bait of choice along with electric chicken crab fish bites.

The time we have been hoping wouldn’t happen here in the area has started. The weeds are starting to push in with the rough surf…

This week the surf fishing has been on fire been hearing and seeing pompano from Jacksonville to South Florida with the main body being from Daytona to Juno using live sand fleas, shrimp, fresh clams, all flavors of fish bites and fish gum.

This week has been hit and miss in the surf, but the main bite in the surf has been some nice whiting and tons of bluefish, with a few pompano getting caught in the area. The main body of the pompano have made their way to South Florida. For me, the hot bite has been on fresh shrimp, however Fish Bites and fish gum have been producing also. The Fish Bites clam and sand flea flavor along with the ghost crab fish gum have been working well. But, you will need to make the longer cast to get on the better fish. The first part of the incoming tide has been producing better for me this week.

The early morning surf bite has been on fire the past week with pompano, whiting, and bluefish being the hot action. Good numbers of pompano have been getting caught all the way from Jacksonville to Melbourne. The bite has been shutting down around 10-1030am.
