The Florida pompano is one of the best eating fish found in inshore waters. They average a little over a pound and rarely get over five pounds, but fight like fish twice their size. A member of the jack family, pompano better resemble permit than jack crevalles for their table qualities as well as their fight. They are tough fish on light tackle and fly, and willing to eat everything from a live sandflea to a Nylure jig. Pompano can be caught all year along the Treasure Coast, but the best fishing takes place from November through April when the schools migrate through the area after wintering in the Carolinas. They are a schooling fish that can on occasion be caught in impressive numbers, but for the most part produce enough action to fill out a day on the water and dinner for the evening. There is an 11-inch minimum size limit on pompano, only one of which may be over 20 inches, and a six fish per angler daily bag limit.
