Fishing Report

It looks like I was right yesterday when I wrote that conditions were improving and Friday might be a good fishing day. Well, from what I saw this morning, fishing is really good today.

I talked with a man fishing about half a mile south of the Indialantic boardwalk area. It was only after 7 AM and he had already caught 3 nice sized pompano and a black drum. When I walked past him on my way back up the beach, he was reeling in another keeper pompano. This fisherman had 3 lines out. He was using fresh clams for bait.

The water clarity is on the good side, but not perfectly clean. There was just a tad of seaweed in the water, but not enough to to cause problems. The wave action was good (not too many waves or too few). The wind was fairly light and was coming from the northeast. When I was on the beach, the tide was near low. When the tide is at high, the seaweed might become a problem since there still is a lot of dead seaweed on the upper part of the beach.

1:20 pm: The seaweed has become a problem. I talked to another fisherman who had caught 3 pompano in the late morning, but by early afternoon he quit because the seaweed had become such a problem.

I went fishing at Coconut point around 12ish and stayed until 3. I was using sand fleas and had no bites. The seaweed was bad.
