Hope everyone is doing well and had a chance to get out and fish this past week! The fishing has been steady, with plenty of black drum, whiting, a few pompano and palometas showing up. The southeast winds have dirtied the water and brought in a lot of miscellaneous weeds and ocean debris along the beaches. However, the fish don’t seem to mind too much.
The best baits have been shrimp pieces (make sure they are peeled) and sand fleas. Rig them up on a pompano rig with a chartreuse or orange float, and you’ll be golden. The fish have been biting well on the falling tides but have been hit or miss on the incoming tides. The water has started to warm up to the ideal range for pompano; it just needs to clear up a bit. Fortunately, the waves this week look to settle down.
On March 1st, we’ll be hosting a surf fishing challenge, so stay tuned! Be sure to follow us on Facebook, where we’ll announce the event details and prizes for the winners.
Have a great week, everyone—tight lines!
