Light tackle anglers in east central Florida have a fantastic opportunity to catch a variety of saltwater species during the fall months along the beaches of Cape Canaveral, Cocoa, Satellite, Melbourne, and Sebastian each year. Falling air and water temperatures that occur during the September through December time frame create a massive migration of silver and black mullet along this stretch of coast line.

Just mentioning the term “fall mullet run” sends a shiver of excitement within the fishing communities of Florida’s coastal regions! There is no surprise as to why; all gamefish and rough fish like sharks that rely on mullet as a seasonal source of food flock to beaches to binge-feed on these creatures.
