fishing on the beach

The Seacrest area has been very good for surf fishing lately. There are some ancient cypress stumps in the gulf that were exposed during the last hurricanes. Fish tend to congregate around the stumps.

The only issue that your anglers may encounter is the timing of the arrival of "June grass", which can make for frustrating fishing because it fouls the line. If that's the case, we'll come up with some other ideas for them. We have lots of water around here.

best regards,

The "june grass" makes great Spa material. Kill two birds with one stone!

There was a couple fishing east of Grayton Beach yesterday and caught a huge pompano!!:clap_1: Hubby also found/caught lots of sand fleas.

Go Franny, where there's fleas, there's Pomps...Not to hijack the thread but Cobia are being caught in shallows and around piers from Destin to Pensacola...Anybody ACTUALLY seen or caught around here the last few days?...Red

If the June Grass pushes in while you are here, rent a kayak for funn, and fish at a local seafood market. Or, if your heart is set on fishing, there is always the Bay which provides for a good source of Redfish, Trout, SheepsHead, etc.

That would explain the big smile on his face when I drove by his house.

Are you able to buy a license on 30-A anywhere? I believe in the past I bought mine at Wally World.

At what age do kids need a fishing license?

I bet Yellowfin sells licenses. Check the Grayton Corners store inside Grayton General Store, or the main store in Seagrove.

Should be able to get your answers at this link, but anyone 15 or under is exempt from licensing, but not from limit and bag regs.

We had very nice snowbirds staying at our place this past February - mid-March and the guy said the fishing was great at Seacrest Beach right off the beach. One guy was coming to our area of the beach from Panama City Beach because although he and his wife were staying in PCB, he said the fishing was much better at Seacrest beach. These guys usually filled a bucket or two of fish every day (I was there in late February and they were quite successful with their fishing from what I could see -- they were out fishing every day at least during the week I was there).

It's true that some of the old cypress forest is exposed in spots, so maybe that has something to do with it. I don't fish, but given that the location is good for fishing, I may give it a try.

Remember adults need a license. I don't know about kids. I think it's pretty easy to get and you can find information on the Graytonbeach.com homepage I think.

Have a grayt vacation!

Excellent point redfisher. Although you would be hardpressed to catch a Cobia in June. June is a great month to shark-fish along the beach at night though.

Yep, 16 is the age of licensing.
