In the summer, it gets hot here and so does the fishing. Nearshore and offshore, so many migratory species of fish arrive in the early summer and many of them can be caught throughout the summer. The water temperatures warm up inshore, so you may have to take advantage of the early morning or evening bite, but you can still catch plenty of fish inshore in the summer. The beaches will be full of people in the summer, but anglers can get out there early and late to fish the surf.

In the fall, the mullet run gets into full swing as these fish move down the United States’ eastern coastline and into Florida. The bigger fish will follow these mullet along the beaches and into the Sebastian Inlet. When the mullet show up, you can experience some of the best fishing of the year. From early to mid fall, you will see lots of migratory fish and resident fish gorging themselves on all of the bait that moves into the area. As the water temperatures continue to drop later in the fall, you will find a lot less migratory fish, so if you are coming here later in the fall, the main species of inshore fish will be redfish, sea trout, snook, flounder and sheepshead. Offshore, there are a lot less people going out offshore now that the summer crowds are gone, however, the boats that do go out will be able to target sailfish, swordfish, mahi mahi, marlin, tuna, grouper, snapper, triggerfish, porgy, sharks and more.

The amount of people fishing here in the winter shrinks compared to summer, however, this area is still popular among locals all winter long. Typically, sea trout, redfish, snook and flounder will still be found biting inshore. When it gets real cold, the snook fishing will not be as good, however, the sheepshead fishing peaks in the cold weather. Offshore, the charter boats still do target a variety of fish including mahi mahi, swordfish, sailfish, tuna, grouper and snapper. However, the winds can make it difficult to get offshore when the cold fronts move into the area.
