Local Species Insights: Florida Pompano

Florida pompano thrive in Port Orange's warm coastal waters, particularly around sandy bottoms and structure where they hunt for crustaceans and mollusks. These fish are most active during moving tides when baitfish and invertebrates are stirred up in the water column. Pompano typically range from 12-18 inches in local waters, with occasional larger specimens reaching 20+ inches. Their feeding behavior makes them excellent targets for both live bait and artificial lures, responding well to jigs tipped with shrimp or sand fleas.
