We are about 60 miles farther south. This is a Brevard County Park with most (not ours) sites on the water. We will have easy access to the water with the kayaks or wading as soon as the wind slows a little. There was a major Menhaden (bait fish also called Pogey) fish kill here recently, so it is a little stinky. We are not sure how it will effect the fishing. We also have a major front moving through, so we will have our ears tuned to the weather warnings.
Tuesday - We made a Walmart run and checked out kayak launch sites on the way. This is a beautiful area with ample access to good fishing water. It is cooler today and still a little windy, so we are giving it a chance to warm up some before fishing.
Wednesday - It was a beautiful morning with less wind and warm sunshine. We are back to shorts and short sleeves. Most if the smell is gone from the fish kill and hopefully the fishing will be good.
Launched kayaks and fished for a couple of hours, but no fish. It was beautiful, but windy.
Thursday - Very windy again and rain in the area.
We were outside cleaning fly line when the wind changed and temp dropped ten deg in just a few seconds. We retreated inside and the rain came.
Friday - The rain finally stopped, but the sun was only able to make a couple brief appearances. We decided to check out Sebastian Inlet SP and see if there might be a good place to launch the kayaks or wade fish. After checking out the piers and checking with some local fishermen, we decided that the fishing might not be good enough to bother doing either. The park is beautiful with good places to put in and fish and the camping area is nice as well, but is hard to get spots. We decided to throw in awhile at the boat ramp and each caught pin fish that were small, but fun and a ladyfish each that gave us a fun fight.
Saturday - It got very windy again during the night and was sunny, cool, and windy when we headed out. We wanted to check out St. Sebastian River so we drove over to Sebastian and picked up a couple things we needed at Walmart while we were there. We found a nice park named Dale Wimbrow Park and fished from shore. We each caught ladyfish and Joan caught a small Jack Crevalle. We had lunch at Woody's BBQ, then returned to camp.
Sunday - Another very windy day.
