What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Sebastian, Florida for the first time?

I recommend taking a charter a few times to get some tips and tricks for fishing in a new area

Charter fishing is great as well as pier fishing, surf fishing is a little difficult with the gradual beach. March and April seem to be good times of the year.

July isn't the best month, but Captain Eric made it an enjoyable half-day searching for signs of fish and learning about the area's eco issues and treasure-hunting history.

If it's slow, make sure you have a Captain who will happily take you to different mangroves and structures to improve your chances. We did in Captain Shane Trottier.

Was a little tough fishing because of a cold front, can’t control Mother Nature.

Waters can be a bit choppy. A bit better in April/May. But the fish still bite well.

Be prepared to accept not going out into the ocean and still having a great day!

Try a charter and go with the professional. It's a lot better then a quite day at sea.

Definitely go on a guided trip... the knowledge of the Captains make the day much more productive.
