Fresh Cocoa Beach Fishing Reports

Multiple fish of a lifetime for these guys on a 6 hr night time drum trip.

August has delivered some incredible fishing, with tarpon action being front and center. From rolling fish along the beaches to explosive eats around the inlets, the silver kings have kept rods bent and anglers grinning. Snook and jacks have also been in the mix, making for action-packed trips. But as good as August has been, the best is yet to come. September and October bring the highly anticipated fall mullet run—arguably the best fishing of the entire year. Millions of baitfish will flood our coastlines, rivers, and inlets, sparking a feeding frenzy from every predator in the system. Tarpon, snook, redfish, sharks, and jacks all join in, making it a true showcase of nature you won’t want to miss. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get on the water, this is it. The fall mullet run is a bucket-list experience, and prime dates fill fast. Don’t miss your chance to fish one of the most exciting seasons of the year!

The summer tarpon season has officially kicked off — and it’s been nothing short of incredible. We’ve already hooked into and landed a solid number of fish, with consistent action throughout the week. Big pushes of migrating tarpon are showing along the beaches, in the passes, and staging up in all the right places. We’re seeing large schools rolling at first light, with fish actively feeding and willing to eat. The early morning bite has been electric, especially around clean moving water and the right tide windows. Live bait and well-presented artificials are both getting crushed, and when it happens — it happens fast. These fish are pushing triple digits, and the acrobatics once they’re hooked is something you never forget. This is the real deal — high-energy, high-reward fishing for anglers who want to test their skill and strength. Conditions are lining up beautifully, and everything is pointing toward a strong season ahead. If tarpon have been on your bucket list, now is the time to go all in.

As we close out April here on Florida’s Space Coast, the snook bite is really starting to turn on—and May is shaping up to be even better. These fish are feeding aggressively around mangroves, docks, and deeper troughs, with both live bait and artificials producing solid results. We’ve had some great action lately, and it’s only going to improve as water temps continue to rise. We’ve also been hooking into a few big redfish in the mix, especially around the flats and deeper channels. These bruisers are always a welcome bonus and never fail to put anglers to the test. And of course, we’re keeping a close eye out for the first big pushes of tarpon. A few early arrivals are trickling in, and the real show is right around the corner. Summer is just about here, and it’s going to be a good one. Don’t miss your chance—lock in your dates while the bite is heating up!
