Florida surf fishing can be very exciting. Surf fishing is
very popular among locals and visitors. You can often
see visitors laying out on the beach with their spouse or
family and a couple of rods standing straight up in the
sand waiting for a bite. The great thing about surf fishing
is that you can fish any beach that allows fishing, which is
most of the state of Florida. Some of the top species for
surf fishing are whiting, pompano, bluefish, sheepshead,
jack crevalle, croakers, black drum, pinfish, permit,
blacktip shark, bonnethead shark, spinner shark, bull
shark and Atlantic sharpnose shark.
Some of the best baits to use along the surf in Florida
are sand fleas, shrimp and pinfish. For more information
on using live baits, check out our fishing with livebait
