Beach fishing Ft. Lauderdale
Few years ago I caught a Pompano from the beach and have been wanting to get into it more. I went fishing on the beach 2 days ago, and nothing

When I think of pomps there is only 1 name that comes up....Jarred. He knows hi pomos very well and doesn't like the pier to catch him either. Maybe he will post or you could PM him. His SN is Hjared. Good luck to you

Yes wait until around Halloween time and go the same place you caught the last one and use the same bait they arent down here in the summer.

You are about 2 months late for the pomps. They are usually gone by the end of April. You might try live bait in the surf right now for snook, tarpon, and other species that frequent our summertime waters. Artificial baits are also good. Try early in the am, or late afternoons.

You can fish E Sunrise and A1A, right in front of the Hugh Taylor Birch park. Get there just before sunrise and you'll be able to park right there no problem. Bait is usually all up in the surf, just cast net or sabiki some and freeline one out. I used to work by there and would hit that spot up pretty frequently. Good fishing.

Is it in front of the park or in front of the office?cvstrat wrote:You can fish E Sunrise and A1A, right in front of the Hugh Taylor Birch park.
