Surf Fishing in Brevard County

Well folks, its the end of January and the fish are jumping more than ever in Brevard County. The Whiting fish are out as well as Pompano and Blues. Cast a line or two or three and set it in a pole holder and watch your line bobble up and down! When you see movement other than the movement of the tide, reel it in. Most likely and without you feeling it, you will have something at the other end. Probably a Pompano at this time of the year or Whiting. You never know, could be a big Blue Crab or Salt Water Catfish.
If your looking for more of an active fishing experience put a silver spoon on and cast until you catch a blue.
Some people like casting out, sitting back, relaxing and waiting for that catch. Others, as I do, prefer the continuous casting out…
Something to consider: Utilities on or off?

So I have a been working with a client that is from out of country and I have shown over a dozen homes to in the Melbourne area. At first she was convinced that it was a short sale she was looking for. A nice home for a nice price. Wow, that would be terrific! It wasn't until about the third house that she was shocked with the condition of most of them and she quickly learned the difference of short sales and regular homes on the market.
One question she kept asking was "are the utilities on"? "How can I tell if there is a leak anywhere if I can not have the water on"? Ahh. Bingo. Brings to mind a question. Should homeowners leave the utilities on while trying to sell the home?
Of course every situation is different and is on a case-by-case basis…

For sometime now, friends and family have been asking me to go fishing with them. They would go day or night, weekday or weekend, from dusk to dawn it didn't matter. Being the "sterotypical" woman I was hesitant for a long time until I heard about the fun they were having and what they were catching. They had been shrimping and fishing in the Banana River as well as the Indian River both located on the East Coast of Florida. Did you know that you can catch shrimp in these rivers by traps and in the hundreds sometimes in just a few hours? These shrimp are no little guys either, they are jumbo shrimp and delicious! I didn't know until I tasted them at a friends house and "WOW" they were delicious.
You might be thinking to yourself "I'm not eatting…

Satellite Beach Florida
To many folk, Satellite Beach is unheard of. A quaint little town nestled between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean with a population of 10,808. Summer low temps in the 70’s and highs in the low 90’s, beaches at almost every nook you turn into and a friendly community. It is no wonder the residents want to keep it their little secret.
Satellite Beach prides itself with continuous efforts with their community redevelopment agency. The city is continually keeping the beaches clean with their ongoing beach re-nourishment project, upkeep and repairing of roads, and replacing outdated business signs to warmer, more modern signage within the city.
