Question on where Surf Fishing is OK and times

[lilxvu]

I normally fish from the pier but am trying surf fishing for pompano this season. I have been surf fishing around Sunrise Blvd in Ft Lauderdale most of the time after the lifeguards finish their day at 5pm because that is the only place I feel I am able to avoid trouble.

Is there anywhere else in Broward/Palm Beach county that allows anytime surf fishing or any place I should avoid because of restrictions? I am not trying to steal any spots or of the sort, I just would like to avoid the trouble of getting kicked out after setting my rod spike into the sand.

If someone can help me out, I vow to report back after a days worth of fishing everytime I'm out there!

In most places you'll have to go before the life guards are on duty or afterwards. The only place I can think of that you can surf fish without problem during the day is John Lloyd State Park. But the bite mostly sucks from 9-16 most days so I generally just go early in the am before sunrise to hollywood / dania beach.

Way north of you but phillips ocean park you can fish there all day long.

That is a big commitment from a fisherman. Welcome and Good luck out there

like juvinious said, i've fished off beaches before before lifeguards came. some lifeguards don't mind you fishing if no one is around the beach, but usually i am already heading to a new location before they come or as i see them coming. john u lloyd i go just before sunrise a lot and had some good times there. good luck out there!
