Bill Sargent: Florida pompano's arrival a flavorful gift for anglers

The Florida pompano

? Common in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.
? Most caught along the surf and from piers.
? Can be confused with small permit.
? Average 1? to 2 pounds. A 5-pounder is a prize.
? Shore anglers allowed six pompano exceeding 11 inches.
? Food value is exceptional.
Beach access points
Between Ocean Avenue at Melbourne Beach and Sebastian Inlet there are 16 public access points for surf fishermen along State Road A1A. All offer parking.
? Six tightly grouped crossovers are within the first quarter mile.
? Spessard Holland Park North Beach.
? Tracking Station access (named for previous missile tracking dome).
? Spessard Holland Park South Beach.
? Coconut Point Park.
? Juan Ponce de Leon Landing Park.
? Chris? Break at Atlantic Drive.
? Brevard County beach access.
? Bonsteel Park.
? No-name crossover, one block south of Whitey?s Bait and Tackle.
? Sebastian Inlet State Park.
Those continuing south of the Sebastian Inlet into Indian River County will find the Sebastian Inlet State Park South Beach access a mile south of the inlet, followed by Indian River County accesses at Ambersands Beach, Treasure Shores Park, Golden Sands Park and Wabasso Beach. Ambersands, like the area immediately south of the inlet, is tough to fish with bottom rigs because of an inshore reef. Treasure Shores also has rocks on the north end of the park, so concentrate your fishing on the south end.
