Florida Pompano
Port Aransas is a Texas hotspot for targeting Florida Pompano. The long stretches of sandy beaches along Mustang Island and Padre Island provide ample habitat for these surf-dwelling fish. The best time to fish for Pompano here is during the spring and fall, particularly from March to May and September to November. Look for areas with clear water and a moderate surf. Pompano are often found near the first and second sandbar. A productive local tactic is to use a Carolina rig with live or frozen shrimp, sand fleas, or Fishbites. A helpful tip: many anglers drive directly onto the beach with a permit, allowing them to cover more ground and find the most productive areas. Be sure to check local regulations regarding beach driving and parking. Pompano in this area can grow to impressive sizes, so be ready for a good fight.
