Surf Fishing Report Conditions Canaveral National Seashore




No boats, just Florida East Coast Surf Fishing. Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda Beach, Surf Fishing Conditions, Beach Conditions, Fish Report. A quick update on Florida East Coast Surf Fishing Conditions.

Still a bit rough for surf fishing in Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda Beach. The weather is surely not cooperating these past weekends but we found a spot to fish today across the road at Eddy Creek Boat Launch. 

We caught Saltwater Catfish, Redfish, Sea Robin, and it turned into a Pufferfish kind of day. Last weekend there were many schools of mullet, trout, and tarpon. This week, Puffer fish lol.

3 in a Row, Time to Go



No boats, just Florida East Coast Surf Fishing. Canaveral National Seashore, Mosquito Lagoon, Florida. 

The surf was pretty rough yesterday at Patrick Air Base 2nd Light and at Canaveral National Seashore. We ended up throwing in Mosquito Lagoon.

It wound up being a beautiful day with most of the weather blowing inland.

Fish Report 8-17-2019 Florida East Coast Surf Fishing


No boats, just Florida East Coast Surf Fishing. Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda Beach, Eddy Creek Fish Report for 8-17-2019. 


The surf has progressively gotten muddy throughout August 2019. Very few keepers in Playalinda Beach but a lot more little guys. A nurse shark was caught today at the Eddy Creek ramp but Croakers and spots were everywhere. 

What's biting?


The Redfish are biting at Mosquito Lagoon. 


Crabs are picking the bait clean at Haulover Canal, and the Jetty Park bite was nonexistent. 


The Jetty Park Pier was busy with fishermen but light on bite.

We jumped around moving from place to place today Florida East Coast Surf Fishing. Between the beautiful sunrise, spots of rain, change of scenery, species of fish, and catches of the day, we had great fishing fun. We started at Canaveral National Seashore Playalinda Beach Eddy Creek Parking Area and walked up the ramp toward the beach to a beautiful sunrise! The bite was slow and water muddy so we moved to Jetty Park at Port Canaveral. Again, slow, slow bite. We drove out to Haulover Canal and forgot we only had the long poles, so we went to Mosquito Lagoon and bingo! Redfish!
