Pompano????
 

Could any of you Florida residents suggest where I might be able to catch a pompano from the beach on fly and what would be the best month to do it in??

No need to worry about me adding to the local crowd, I just need to catch ONE to add to the list of species I've caught on fly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated/

Mark, if you figure it out, I'd be happy to be on the catching end while your on the shooting........I hope that sounded right.

Thanks Finster,

I went to that site and got completely sidetracked from my pompano quest. There was a lot of interesting stuff on there.

http://www.flyfishsaltwaters.com is a great site, and interestingly, the owner/admin - Jeff - is a member here. I think he went by the name of SeaBird or something... Class site with some fantastic people...

Just about anywhere on the Gulf coast.I caught more on the Northern shores of the coast from La. to Fl.

Mark,
your best bet would be on the gulf side, i have great luck in Naples, FL. in the months of june -july, pampano and sheephead compete for the same type of bait too...try night fishing but be careful if you surf to deep there are many sharks in that area...
