Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island Fishing Report

[font "Times New Roman"]The wind continues to blow out fishing trips all across the state. The good news may be in the cold front that’s coming. The cooler water temperatures should motivate redfish, black drum and sheepshead to gather in numbers. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]December and January are traditionally good times for targeting black drum and sheepshead in the Banana River. Both can be caught on live or dead shrimp fished on the bottom. With the water being clear, as it normally is during the winter, you can spot the sheepshead in shallow water scrounging around for something to eat. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]This is a good time to get out the fly rod and try your luck. Small black fly should do the trick. Get it down on the bottom and fish it slow. [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]I am without a boat for a while, as I wait for a new Pathfinder to be built. I am hoping to be fishing on it by the end of January. [/font]
