Tradewinds Tackle

Pompano should be starting to make their appearance in the surf by early June. These hard fighting fish are caught close to the edge of the beach, right in the waves where they are chasing fleeing sand fleas. Light surf rods with just enough weight to hold the bottom provide anglers with the most fun and help detect bites. Bait includes shrimp and squid, with the fresh sand fleas being one of the best. Young kids can help out catching the sand fleas, while they play in the surf. Look for clean, clear water for these excellent fish.

June is a great time of year for kids to enjoy the beach and have fun fishing. Sea mullets and small bluefish should provide action, even if the pompano aren’t cooperating. A little bit of fresh mullet, some shrimp, or a box of squid can entice some finfish for young anglers on the beach.
