Cocoa Beach Redfishing, Cocoa Beach Flats Fishing
One of the most popular inshore species to fish for in Cocoa Beach is
red drum or what is commonly known as a redfish. During certain times of the year redfish move onto the flats where anglers stalk them in as little as a foot of water or even less in some cases. A big strong redfish can fight like a raging underwater bull on the shallow water flats of Cocoa Beach and on light tackle they can give even the veteran angler a run for his money.
Cocoa Beach flats fishing is the practice of fishing in very shallow water. The flats, which are found throughout all coastal areas of the state of Florida can be fished by wading or by boat. If you are going to fish the flats by boat your best bet is to hire a local Cocoa Beach fishing guide as they will have the proper gear and boat for fishing in very shallow water. To fish these shallow waters or flats by boat you need a vessel that has a very shallow draft which just means the boat can get into very shallow areas to pursue their target fish.
Another technique while flats fishing in Cocoa Beach is called sight fishing. Because of the shallow water you can see the schooling fish or even a lone fish rather easy allowing you to flip your bait right to the fish. If you are accurate enough with your casting then you can fire your lure right in the path of the fish where you hope he will gobble it down.
