Center Console Boats And More

Why have a never seen anyone surf fishing in Southeast Florida?

I fish the inlests sometimes, and the piers, and from boats. I have never seen anyone fishing form the surf. The poblem with the inlets is the bottoms are usaully rocky and I lose a lot of tackle. Do you know why nobody seems to fish the surf? I am going to give it a try...maybe tonight.
I mean to say Broward County.
