Good Morning, Offshore yesterday a few boats where able to get out reports of a few scattered sails around with a few decent dolphin mixed in live bait was the bait of choice it looks like the next few days should be nice so hopefully you can get out. There has been a few kingfish and a cobia mixed in on the reef in 60 to 80ft. Inshore the trout and reds have been around the spoil islands to the north of north bridge soft baits and copper spoons have produced the best. The snook bite has been ok on the jetty and the bridges with a few nice fish around on the outgoing tide on jigs. Todays weather info –
Synopsis: A weak cool front will sag into central Florida this afternoon then stall and wash out overnight into Friday. A brief northeast wind surge will occur behind the front, producing poor boating conditions well offshore north of Cape Canaveral later today into tonight. Small craft should exercise caution across the offshore waters, mainly north of Cape Canaveral. A high pressure ridge axis will redevelop over Central Florida this weekend and produce a southeast to south wind flow.
