Brevard County weekend fishing forecast
• Offshore: Easterly winds and a light swell should help stack some Sargassum up against the edge of the Gulf Stream. Anglers found tough dolphin fishing last weekend, with the majority of fish scattered east of Bethel Shoal between Sebastian and Fort Pierce around 270 feet. King mackerel were large and numerous over the 8A Reef off Port Canaveral, striking bump-trolled live baits and dead sardines. Bottom catches remain excellent on the High Bar, the 80 to 100-foot ledge which runs between Sebastian and Canaveral. Mangrove, lane and vermillion snapper along with cobia, triggerfish and seabass are taking cut squid, live baits and plugs cut from fresh-caught grunts.
• Surf: Pompano fishing has been hit or miss, but whiting remain fairly consistent on most beaches. Use pieces of peeled shrimp or live sandfleas. Expect moderate wave action this weekend (2 to 4-foot) with 10 to 15-knot east winds.
• Sebastian Inlet: Pompano, sheepshead and whiting were found in good numbers in the surf south of the inlet this week. Blacktip sharks are active at night on the ocean side, hitting large live ladyfish, bluefish and mullet.
