Happy 4th of July! It truly doesn't get any better than this!
Today is the day to celebrate our country's independence and be proud of the fact that we live in such a great country! But, it is also time to spend time with our family, go the beach, barbeque and later watch the fireworks!
Well, here in Brevard County Florida we have some great spots to spend the day fishing. But, always the reminder: the fish run at high tide, so that's the best time to go!
So, today we decided to spend the afternoon on South Melbourne Beach located at Spessard Holland Beach. When we picked up bait from the local bait shop, the owner told us that a father and son had already caught 40 fish today! We were astonished!
The weather was beautiful, not too hot, the skies were a bit overcast and the surf fishing was incredible! My daughters were getting a bite on their lines just as fast as they threw them in the water. Today, was the best day we have ever had surf fishing on South Melbourne Beach. Typically, we catch one to three fish each time we go. Today, they pulled in over 20 whiting in a 2 1/2 hour period of time! Although, we threw about 8 back because we thought that they were just too small. Tonight, we will be enjoying fresh fish for dinner - my favorite!
I love living in Melbourne Florida, because we are 10 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful sandy beaches! Fishing on South Melbourne Beach in Brevard County proved to be a great day for us today! Come on down and join us sometime!
So far, today has been a perfect 4th of July! Family, food, fun! And later, fireworks! What a great way to spend a holiday!
Happy 4th of July to all of you!
