I wanted to go salt water fishing so i was going to go to surfside tuesday.
i dont know a much about saltwater fishing and i never catch anything or even get bites so i thought i'd ask how far down the jetty should i go and what should i use for bait? (suggestions other than shrimp) also what time?
i'm not targeting any certian fish,i just want to catch something frkazoid

Ditch the shrimp. Use some fresh cut baitfish or cracked blue crab

fish daylight or dusk , use a popping cork or a Carolina style slide rig . Use live shrimp, mullet , fresh dead , etc . There are tons of various fish that hang jetty side or icw . Try fishing the beach in the first cut with fresh bait on the bottom , tons of whiting , croaker , mangrow snapper , sand trout , last month i caught slot reds playing in the first gut . Just throw it out and real in real slow something gonna grab it

im heading to the jetty Saturday, curious to know how you did today. I really want to catch a mangrove or two, never have. Popping cork with live shrimp seems to be the answer eh?


Happy fishing!

i caught a 2 ft blacktip,7 inch florida pompano and a skipjack
got there at like 9;30 am and stayed till 1;00
i used a popping cork with a 2 ft leader for the shark and a cork with a 7 foot leader for the other stuff,for bait i used live shrimp, some guess next to me were using live fish about 4 inches long and getting nice sized fish.
i dont really know what i'm doing and cant cast very far with my pole so you will probably do better haha frkazoid

Thanks for the report, i will report back Saturday when I get home. I have fished around there several times, and havnt gotten a pompano yet, so congrats on a good day!

Thanks for the tips, How far down the jetty did you end up going? See any redfish being caught?


Happy fishing!

i was right were the smooth concrete stops and drops down to the rough stuff.
i didnt see any redfish but the guy next to me (the one using live fish) caught a pompano at least 16 inches long
