Had an opportunity today to meet Randy up on the beach for a couple of and throw the pompano rods out . All in all it was a fun couple of hours as our catch list included catch and release palometa , short pompano, numerous bonefish, and four nice keeper sized pompano that found their way to our cooler . High tide was around 4 pm today and the majority of the bites came between 130 and 330 . The other nice part of the day was the showing of the sandfleas . They came up the entire few hours we were on the beach . We fished right here in Jensen Beach and talking to a couple of friends who have fished the last couple of days the fleas have been on most of the beach accesses from Glasscock to Stuart Beach . Late afternoon is prime time to rake the fleas and now is the time to get some for the freezer for the upcoming pompano season . Pink/Flesh Crab Fishbites was the ticket this afternoon with or without a live sandflea. As far as the mullet schools that made a preliminary showing last weekend, they were nowhere to be found from Glasscock to Stuart Beach . There’s plenty of them north of us and as they move south the surf action will really heat up . All of the fish were holding 70 to 90 yards off today and the ease of reaching them with Mark Burford’s Over The Bar 13 footers was a piece of cake . Some of those bigger bonefish will certainly give you the hope that there’s a nice pompano on the other end when they hit your bait but either way they are fun to catch . Please get them released as quick as you can as they are somewhat fragile . Good fishing from the beach is coming . Good luck and catch em up .
