Jack, stop by Whitey's located on A1A just about 2 miles north of Sebastian Inlet. They will give ya the scoop on what's going on at the jetty and in the surf and what to use. Good folks and reasonable prices.

Here's a link to their website:

Good luck and give us a fishing report when you get back especially a Pomp report. Ask Sherrie at Whitey's for an fishing report update on their website for me.

You won't need a license unless your fishing from a boat.

Here's the regs:

They way I read it is unless your fishing from a pier that has a saltwater license or charter/head boat for hire that has a license...your gonna need a non-resident license. Just double check with Whitey's they might be able to clarify. They see non-residents all the time.
