Last Sunday marked the beginning of our annual (sometimes semi-annual) trip to the Melbourne Beach area to enjoy a week of fun in the sun. For me, this means a week of anxiously waking up at sunrise to walk out the back door and down to the beach to get a line in the water and see what’s biting. Below is a breakdown of my day-by-day report of the fishing action in Indialantic…

Last week, our family made our annual vacation to Brevard County to enjoy the beautiful beaches, tasty seafood, and excellent surf fishing. We came loaded with plenty of casting spoons, suspension baits, and top-water plugs to throw, along with Fishbites and fresh-frozen shrimp to see what we could entice into a hook-up.

Unfortunately, a morning stroll on the beaches of Indialantic confirmed the havoc the Red Tide is taking on the local fishery.

Fishbites and frozen shrimp produced multiple beautiful Pompano from the surf last week for Dad.

After catching my own Snook on a top-water plug in the morning, our afternoon fishing session produced another monster Snook for my dad (along with a helping hand from my girlfriend)!

Mid-June surf fishing with casting spoons and top-water plugs produced loads of action all week. Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, juvenile Barracuda, and this monster Snook were all snagged using hard baits in the surf.
