I also caught my PB Speckled Trout, Whiting and Flounder. I wonder if the fact that far fewer people are fishing this year has something to do with this unusual fishing. Whatever the reason I loved it. For once I caught larger Pompano in NC than you did in Alabama! LOL

I understand your desire to catch a keeper pompano, but I used to wait for reports of ladyfish running. I absolutely love their fight. To call them a "poor man's tarpon" is an understatement. They are plain out fun, if fishing is something you love. If eating fish is what it's all about, that's great, but for the sheer pleasure of catch, fight, fun and release, I don't think you can beat ladyfish...especially the larger ones.

So when looking for fish, do you generally just look for the rip? Or are there other factors that play into finding them
@BamaBeachBum4 жыл бұрын
Rips are always helpful. Especially when fishing artificials from the beach. However, every beach is structured differently and they are not always easy to find. It’s always more important to understand what you are looking at so that when you do find fish, you can then start to uncover a pattern. There is never a “wrong” place to fish. But it helps to understand what you are casting at. Bars, cuts, holes, troughs, points, rips. All of it can and will hold fish but different species and different patterns will dictate where.

Hmmm. Pompano jigs catch a pretty wide variety. I’ve caught spanish, blues, pomps, flounder, lady fish, blue runners. It’s a good all around surf lure. But also shiny lures like spoons and diamond jigs. The more basic the lure, usually the more variety.
