Ponte Vedra Beach Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Ponte Vedra Beach

Ponte Vedra Beach is a long, largely residential stretch of Atlantic sand with no pier and no inlet, which keeps it quiet and makes it a pure surf fishery. Pompano and whiting run the trough, big black drum and redfish cruise the wash in the cooler months, and the lack of structure means reading the sandbars and cuts is everything. It's a walk-and-cast beach, not a park-and-sit one.

Local tip: Find a cut through the outer bar and fish it on the rising tide — that's where the trough feeds.
