pompano fishing time

We welcome back the Pompano season with open arms! Lots of lucky anglers who hit the surf this past week before the front were able to bring home dinner! Live/ blanched fleas paired with Fishbites and 4oz Sputnik on a Couture CO. Pompano rig was a great choice!

I was able to pick off my limit before 8am on Friday morning. I found clean water and a nice outflow. Both key players if you wanna catch numbers on Pompano or possibly your (6) fish limit. A couple of hours before high tide, the bite was on fire then it shut down till around 5pm and then went off again till dark! The water temp on beach is still around 78*. It hasn’t really dropped in temperature yet as we’re still waiting on our first real cold front. As soon as it does, our residential Pompano in our river and lagoons will make their way out to the beach and will meet with other migratory fish coming down from the Carolina’s.

I hope you guys are ready for THE COMING! ‘Cause it’s coming — and will be here before you know it! So make sure you’re stocked up on all of your gear! Strike Zone in Melbourne has everything you need for the surf this coming season from my custom rigs to 4oz Sputniks!

I still have some dates available if interested in a charter. Please give me a call and we’ll get you booked!

I look forward to seeing you on the beach this season! Good luck and stay tuned for more reports! Gotta go fish on!
