I love fishing in Florida in the fall. Of course, I also love fishing in Florida in the winter, spring and summer, but right now it's fall, so that's what I love.

Pompano should start showing up in the waters around Vero Beach soon and that will bring out the surf casters. My friend Jack is a avid surf fisherman and has been telling me for the last couple of years about how far he cast his custom-made surf fishing rig, a Penn 525 Mag revolving spool reel harnessed to a 12-foot custom surf rod.
