Rough weather this past weekend, but I saw several people surf fishing. I didn't see any catching, but I was working and didn't keep my eye on them.
Semi-Pro
Full-Pro
All we ever catch is sharks or whiting
I live on SJB, I caught a few Pompano & a few big whiting last week. I've tried it a few times this week & small croakers are so thick you can't keep them off your bait, hopefully they'll move out soon. Pompano should be here when your here. The Spanish Mack's are thick just outside the 2nd sand bar off the beach.

Did you troll for the mackerel? I saw a few boats running back and forth, but didn't see them catching either.
We caught them trolling down the beach in about 20', trolled from Windmark Beach down to Veterans Memorial Park in Beacon Hill & back.

A buddy of mine is on the cape now doing well with pompano on the beach catching just before the sandbar on shrimp and fishbites, reds and tout in the bay on the grass flats early with skitter walks, gold spoons and doa paddletails. When the current gets ripping in the canal, the reds stack up. Bounce a carolina rigged (short leader) live shrimp along the bottom with the current. I've seen quite a few landed from the area under the 98 bridge. Good luck! Let us know how you do.
