Space Coast Surf Fishing Rockets Upwards
April hasn't disappointed for surf fishing enthusiasts along the Space Coast! Due in part to the much awaited spring pompano run that hit our coasts with a sonic boom of a bang. Large pompano ranging from 3-4 pounds were consistently landed on local area beaches.
Water Temps Remain Cooler Than Usual
Good morning, all you Sebastian Inlet fishing fanatics. Happy ‘Solar Monday’ to you all! Unfortunately, this is going to be another short report, as it was a slow weekend at the fishing hole, largely due to the chilly and sandy/silted water.
Topwater Action
The topwater bite has been amazing lately! I've been having great success throwing Heddon Super Spook Jr's (a 3.5" topwater which I rigged with single inline hooks) around structure with plenty of bait present.

“That’s Fishing”
The weather was downright horrible for much of the first portion of the week with strong north winds and even some rain passing through on Thursday. The bite however was really good which was a complete opposite from the not so good weather conditions.
St. Sebastian River – Easter Weekend
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! When I set out to fish/write the Easter weekend report I felt it was only right to fish the St. Sebastian River. Interesting fact on nomenclature, the inlet on the other side of the Indian River Lagoon is called Sebastian Inlet.
Cool & Dirty Water Remain A Problem for Fishing
Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet junkies! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend, the weather was sure awesome! The fishing, ehh not so much.
