Sandfleas and live shrimp. Run the fleas on a pomp rig. Next setup a egg sinker (about 12" to hook ) on the Shrimp. U can play with that depending on tide. Fish outgoing. Where sunscreen and remember to ice your fish immediately. I useally throw spoons or rubber with my third pole.

Right on...little story I moved here in 09. I go surf fishing with my Yankee set ups. Catch two fish...I'm still not sure but they where red. We atem and they where good. I used alot of squid back then. So my point is. Just go fishing. Try whatever u want. But your out there instead of being book smart u become a catching fisherman.

I came down from NJ in 2016, squid was used alot and minnows for flounder. I've used shrimp and clams and once in awhile sand fleas I dug up on the beach. Still learning, seems like there's many more species of fish here than Jersey. One thing I want to do is buy a boat so I can try different spots

That's what I did. Gheenoe is a good boat and not to expensive if u stay with the 13'. But there are a lot of fish here and the mullet run is flat out awesome. I learned to throw cast net. But u sure seem to be following the fact you moved to a fisherman's paradise.

Use a two hook pompano rig . 2-3 Oz prymid weight . Put a square of fish bite on . Buy at Walmart . Pink or orange is best . Whiting and pomp’s and catfish and crabs eat this stuff . Stays on hook better than a flea . Do not use squid ! Unless you want to catch cats and rays ! Sunscreen and water . Bring two rods . Keep one in the first trough and the other on the edge of the second .
When choosing a spot , look at the waves , find an area where they aren’t breaking as much , this is a rip cut . A natural feeding zone . Usually found on one side of a point. So looking up and down beach for a point . Bring a chair too . Hope this helps you . Good luck. I fished Melbourne beach behind the Double Tree hotel . Good spot.caight whiting and pompano.
