If you're still there, I suggest fishing for Tarpon. My cousin was in Melbourne Beach (not too far south from you) last week. He landed a 90 lb tarpon. If you haven't ever caught one before, now's a great time to spend a day or two catching them. They jump like crazy. We go to Key West in the spring to catch them each year and it's hands down the most fun fishing I have done. Happy hunting!

you should have pm'd "lowprofile" before you left. Search for some of his reports, Chris catches tiger sharks, cobia, bull sharks etc...

You may want to try and get some pinfish for bait and use them. It seems that everything that swims in Fl. eats those things, good luck.
