SURF FISHING
Fishing is outstanding on Florida beaches. With fall season here, the mullet run is full of energy on the Atlantic coast and in very large numbers, baitfish plunge in and out of the oceans edge repetitively drawing the game fish’s attention, who are just hunting for another easy solid meal. Surf fishing in Broward County and other nearby counties is a perfect location since it is remote enough south that you are able to fish at any time of the year, with the best action being fall season.
With over a dozen of beaches to choose from, Broward County offers public beaches that allow fishing off the shoreline and it’s a normal sight to see fisherman with their poles and nets out, catching most inshore & offshore fish such as, snook, cobia, snapper, redfish, pompano, sea trout, croaker and tarpon. Live bait is the most effective source for landing a nice size fish, common options may include, shrimp, crabs and mullet. Artificial lures can be effective too, such as, jigs, spoons and soft plastic lures.
Best bet for surf fishing may be Hallandale Beach, southernmost tip of the county; also Keating Park and Hollywood North Beach Park are all great fishing areas on the beach. Most beaches have parking lots, pavilions and picnic areas too, so bring your family and friends to make an eventful day out of surf fishing!
Remember to always follow the rules of having a fishing license and respect our beautiful South Florida beaches.
