We went to Ponce de Leon in Melbourne Beach for a little surf fishing on Friday afternoon to kick off the weekend. The winds were picking up but I figured there was still opportunity to catch some fish. Apparently, I figured wrong. We had live fleas and shrimp and Fishbites. There were some bait thieves, but no significant bites beyond an occasional nibble. Other anglers were walking the beach, tossing artificials without any luck, either. The water got weedier over time, and by around 5pm, it was thick enough to send us home without any fish. Hopefully there will be better luck next time!
Damon let me know he went out this morning and did pretty well in Satellite Beach with his son, Dylan. They caught several nice keeper pompano, all on Native Salt Claim Bait. Per Damon’s text, “They wanted the clams, baby!”
Maybe if I had some on Friday I’d of had pompano for dinner.
