I only had a short window time wise to throw them out this morning . Picked a beach up in the Fort Pierce area based on some intel from yesterday and although the quantity did not work out , the quality did . I looked at a couple of beaches in Jensen Beach but they were pretty weeded up and the water was streaky and off color . The positive fact about the beaches from Stuart to Normandy was that the bait seemed to be everywhere. When I got to my spot there were pelicans and terns on some bait schools also but not like there was locally. My catch list included blue runners, sand perch, catfish, and about a dozen pompano . Unfortunately out of the dozen pompano there was only 2 keepers . As it turned out I got lucky with the 2 keepers as their combined weight at NewEngland Seafood was almost exactly 5 lbs on the nose . EZFLEA Electric Chicken did it again and the pompano bites all came in that 50 yard range . The weeds were starting to become an issue but they never got bad enough to make conditions unfishable . Bottom line is these fish are on the way and they can appear on any beach access on any given day. Hopefully we can put a few days back to back with clean water and diminished weeds . This fall surf fishing is going to get good.
