Fishing in Florida

Fishing in FloridaBunky’s serves you the best seafood in Brevard County. Many people know this. We offer plenty of fresh catch and raw oysters. Some folks like to reel in their own catch and cook it at home. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Best Time of Year to Fish

Well, it’s Florida, so you can go fishing all year long. But things really heat up for fishermen between the months of May and September. The fish are reproducing and consuming as much food as they will all year during these months. So, naturally your bait has a better chance at being consumed, hook and all.

Best Fishing in Florida

This is open to some debate. Of course we have good fishing right here in Brevard County. Have you ever hung out at the end of the Sebastian Inlet Pier? You can see them reeling in big ones all day long. It really is exciting if you are into fishing. You will feel yourself wanting to grab a fishing rod and cast out a line.

The internet consensus for the best fishing in Florida is Destin. If you don’t already know, Destin is up in the panhandle. It has a very unique set up. There is a bay with a peninsula on the other side. Fresh water empties into the bay which is brackish water. Go a little further out and you have salt water catch just waiting for you. The Gulf of Mexico is chock full of fish. Its a very fertile body of water.

Conclusion

If you are a fisherman or are looking to get into fishing, get familiar with your local waters and get good at fishing those. Then when you are ready take a trip to a bay city, like Destin, to test your game. You may have the fishing time of your life.

More About Gulf Oysters

Gulf Oysters in Melbourne
Available every day and just a buck a piece on Tuesdays after 4p

If you follow Bunky’s on social media then you know we love our gulf oysters. But why do we love them so much? Here is a list of reasons:

  1. Nearby – The Gulf of Mexico is right on the other side of our state. This means the supply is close and shipping is cheaper.
  2. Delicious – Gulf oysters are very tasty and some folks even call them their very favorite oyster.
  3. Plentiful – The coast of the Gulf of Mexico is very long (1,680 miles on the U.S. section to be exact). This makes for plenty of oysters.
  4. Affordable – Gulf oysters are the most affordable oyster on the market.  You can get this delicacy every week, or every day for that matter, and not break the bank. 

Gulf oysters are spawned in summer months. This means that the oysters are most plentiful and best to eat in the fall, winter and spring months. 

Tuesday’s Gulf Oyster Special

On Tuesdays we run a gulf oyster special. They are just a buck a piece. Come in any time after 4pm and get this special price. Get a nice cold pitcher of beer and a dozen oysters to make your afternoon that much better.

How to Eat

Some people like to use the tiny fork to pick them out of the shell and eat them. While others like to loosen the oyster, tilt their head back and send it down the hatch.

Most people like to put a little bit of a condiment on their oyster. People use horseradish, lemon, salt and even Tabasco or other types of hot sauce. Whatever topping you can add to give your oyster the perfect amount of flavor.

Whatever your preference, we can provide it for you. If you are in Brevard County, come on over to Bunky’s on the Beach and enjoy some delicious food.

Newest Menu

Bunkys raw bar foodAfter being back up and running for a while now, we have released our most recent full menu. We were on a limited menu for a while during the Covid shutdown.

Our menu features your favorite oysters, chicken dishes, bites, bowls and sandwiches. Also, order our delicious grilled items like our seafood platters. 

Have you tried our seafood gumbo? It is magnifique! Fun Fact: Gumbo originates from Louisiana. As far back as the 18th century, settlers would put together whatever the catch of the day was together with already existing French soup recipes. The product developed over hundreds of years into modern day gumbo. 

Do you like Clam Chowder? We have delicious chowder. Fun Fact: Clam chowder traces its roots to the northeast where people would combine milk with clam broth. Chunks of clams and potatoes would usually round out the dish along with seasoning. It can be traced back to the 1700’s. [Read more…] about Newest Menu

History of the Po’ Boy Sandwich

Try our Shrimp Po' BoyOne of our more popular items on the menu is the Po’ Boy Sandwich. Our Po’ Boy is your choice of fried shrimp or fried oysters on a toasted roll with house made remoulade, lettuce and tomato. This is a delicious sandwich and well worth trying. 

So how did this delicious sandwich get its name? The facts are not 100% concrete but there are some theories. As you may have guessed, the word Po’ is actually short for “poor”. The most accepted theory for the name is from a 1929 worker’s strike against the New Orleans street car company. Two brothers that used to work for the street car company named, Benny and Clovis Martin, ran a restaurant in the area. They would serve free lunches to their former colleagues during the strike and nicknamed it the “Poor Boy Sandwich”. [Read more…] about History of the Po’ Boy Sandwich
