A:  Surf fishing opportunities shift dramatically by season. During the spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) transition windows, the surf zone explodes with Sea Mullet (Whiting), Pompano, aggressive Bluefish, and slot-sized Red Drum hunting through the sloughs and breakers. The summer months (June–August) produce steady action on summer Flounder and smaller panfish, while late fall brings a run of large, migrating Black Drum directly into the suds.
