Flats fishing around Cocoa Beach is a total blast! There is great fishing all year. My preferred method of attack is Wade fishing, but is also a production method.
The main target species here is the redfish. A big, strong fighter in the table, redfish are the owners floors.
Shirts, all you really need is a pair of boots Flats (not always Wade barefoot, you'll be sorry!), A medium-light rod saltwater action and drums, and a good pair of sunglasses.
A few safety precautions can make your outing enjoyable. If the burn, then use cocoa butter, or some kind of sunscreen do not fly fish. Wear your sunglasses. Water Reflections can seriously damage your eyes, and must be able to see well in water.
Beware of other predators that may be fishing there too, including sharks, barracuda and bluefish. They can take a bite unpleasant. If you suddenly see a lot of bait jump very close to you, leave the water immediately. They are being chased by something big and mean.
When wading, Do not pick your feet, but slides along the bottom. This kicks crabs and rays of the way without burning them or grab you and prevents you from walking in them (hence, boots). Finally, watch out for Portuguese Man-O-Wars. They look like jellyfish, but are very dangerous. Stay away from them.
If stung by one, leaving the water immediately, and the use of baking soda and water to clean the bite. If pain persists, get medical attention.
Sometimes, redfish can be creepy. Sometimes it is because the school has been overworked by other fishermen, or sometimes it is because of a change in water temperature, or moving through of a front, or any number of reasons. If the screws on the school as soon as you see, is very likely been overworked. Find another school.
If they are a short distance and settle down, try to go out again, and thrown to the outer edges of the school. Just cast to 'tails' fish. They're feeding. Try to focus on them. Never chase a school. If, on the approach of the 3rd, that sneak back out of range, then it is and find another school.
Cocoa Beach used to be known as the Capitol, the sea trout in the world in the 60s, but commercial fishing almost annihilated by the late 70s. In the 80s, stopped commercial fishing and trout have made a big comeback. The sea trout here is a larger landlocked sub-species of sea trout do not migrate. Trout 30 inches not uncommon.
My favorite method for catching them is to use a noisy Topwater lure just after dawn. In general, attack with abandonment.
My next favorite prey is the mighty Tarpon. Every April to early October, the shad into the floors of schools following Cocoa Beach bait.
They run between 50 and 150 pounds, and nothing on the planet holds more than one fight a tarpon hooked! They are easy to locate. Just look for all the baitfish flying through the air, 6 foot silver fish right behind them.
