Spring fishing on the Space Coast: Sharks, snook, tripletail, pompano all make their mark
Ready for a spring fling? You've probably already heard this, but this year spring came in astronomically at 11:50 p.m.
Tuesday. That's when the sun crossed north over the equator, the earliest spring equinox since 1896 (I was told by a reliable source).
In part probably was the leap year fact, so we had an extra day already in 2024 moving the potential equinox date up a day.
But the sun is just on a mission this year, in my opinion, and it's position motivates the fish, too.

It causes those that migrate south in the fall, begin moving north in the spring. And that's already happening with dolphin, kingfish, snapper, spinner sharks, blacktip sharks, pompano, bluefish and more.
