A near-shore ocean current is slowly moving southward.

Today will be a good day for surf fishing due to clear water and diminishing seaweed. Just remember that some portions of the beach could be crowded today due the Space Coast Superboat Race in Cocoa Beach.

If you are planning a land-based fishing trip today, it would be better to fish from Jetty Park, Cocoa Beach Pier, Port Canaveral locks, Indian River Lagoon, or Sebastian Inlet for Flounder and Sheepshead near rocks and pilings.

In the open near-shore ocean waters, Sea Trout, Black Drum, Red Drum, Whiting and Pompano have been hitting up and down the Brevard County coastline and inlet mouths during the last four months from Sebastian Inlet to Port Canaveral.

Pompano are hitting more often from the beaches south of Coconuts on Minuteman Causeway.

Cobia are biting just off-shore, but the season wasn't near as good as last year.
