Catching pompano in Florida can be an exciting challenge! Here are five secrets to help you increase your chances of landing these prized fish:

1. Choose the Right Time: Pompano are more active during the early morning and late afternoon. Target these times, especially around the full and new moons when their feeding behavior tends to increase.
2. Use the Right Bait: Live bait is often the most effective. Try using sand fleas, small shrimp, or cut bait. If using lures, gold or silver spoons and jigs can be very effective, especially in clear water.
3. Find the Right Spots: Look for pompano around sandy beaches, jetties, and inlets. They often hang out in shallow waters near breaking waves or in areas with structure, like sandbars or rocky bottoms.
4. Fish at the Right Depth: Pompano typically stay in the top few feet of water. Use a popping cork or a light rig to keep your bait suspended just below the surface where they’re likely to be feeding.
5. Stay Mobile and Observe: If you’re not getting bites, don’t hesitate to move around. Look for other anglers catching pompano or signs of fish activity, such as jumping baitfish or diving birds, which can indicate where pompano are feeding.
