Most Valuable Fish on the Beach - How to Pompano!

Your fishing gear is fantastic. I loved your fishing, congratulations. Here in Brazil we also love pompano fishing.👍🎣😊 hug!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for the surf fishing rigging tips. You had an awesome year, looking forward to following you in 2020. Happy New Year.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Thanks for watching. Happy New Year.

[@Andrewsal4]

his intro hypes me up so much

[@jackchn23]

Instead of hot glue, which can damage the line, I wedge a tooth pick in the float and snap it off. The broken piece of tooth pick does a good job keeping the float in place.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

I like!

[@billn911]

Stupid question, are you supposed to use bait or does the pomp go after the rig just like that?

[@jackchn23]

billn911 use bait. The rig (colors) attracts the fish to the bait (this case sand fleas).

[@billn911]

JKC thank you!

[@UTVoltage]

Another solid day. I can't wait to try some pompano fishing when I get to destin this year.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Good luck. Happy New Year.

[@levarkillingsworth8189]

Love your new intro video ,what I like to do is rig all my poles bait all my poles then cast them all

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Sometimes I do that also. They both have their advantage.

[@levarkillingsworth8189]

I will be trying your pomp rig down here in Texas the one I make is similar to yours

[@Mika54321]

You’ll be a great teacher at teaching how to fish!! Like a good idea if you wanna start a fishing charter you’ll have so many people that would love to attend and it would be successful!! You have great knowledge with fishing!!

[@drjimb0311]

You guys killed it.

[@billwall2764]

Great vid learning and a beautiful day fishing for pomps, lots of good eating, good to see you and Victor hooking up together

[@JoeyAntonelli]

It was a fun day!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Perfect video bro. I fish 3-4 times a week on gulf side and have never caught a pompano. It's crazy to me that I haven't!!! But I want to so spot on video homie.

[@jdtaillant]

What bait are you using?

[@hawkeye8712]

Hi how you doing bro Michael here I found you on Victor landshark's channel. I am so grateful that. I did because you are one cool bro dude. You are actually the real deal yeah I want to become a fisherman like you if I could thank you bro be safe.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Thanks for watching.

[@flatophall]

Hey Joey and crew, another great video. I shared this one as well. Thanks for all your hard work producing these.

[@tommyo321]

Did you notice if they preferred the live sand fleas over the blanched? And did you notice if you're top, middle or bottom hook got more fish than the other hooks?

[@JoeyAntonelli]

I honestly think blanched sand fleas work better. With that said, live sand please stay on the hook better. I tend to get bit on my middle or top more often.

[@jean-yveslefebvre6446]

tks. Joey for the tips will sure try to make my pompano rig's. Happy new Year to you and your family, keep up the good work!

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Thanks brother. Will do.

[@ericb.b7177]

Great video! 👍and thanks for all your experience you pass on I will be fishing Jupiter this month 10th- 13th I hope the pompano are still in the surf.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Good luck. It's the right time of year. Hopefully you find some.

[@r5yamaha]

For floats ...I use corks from wine bottles. Merely cut then to size.

[@curtisblair7618]

Nice info Joey, you are good at finding the spots too, it helps a lot to be at the right beaches for them. Someday I'll live closer to the beach , and hopefully can find them too. Happy New Years 🎣

[@tamkim2828]

Did you have video how to clue the floaters to the line and hooks?

[@paidslave1217]

Hey brother can u tell me how you keep frozen fleas from coming off your hook?

[@barclaysauls3516]

After you bait your hook put a small piece of Fish Bites about the size of 1/2 a dime on your hook behind your bait 😉

[@oceaninlet]

Epic catch!🌊man there running thick down south✌️

[@michaelmorgan3415]

Hey Joey great vid as always, I have a question..... You said tie it like a chicken rig, I use a dropper loop, then cut the loop to make it a single strand, but then you referred to it as a spider hitch. Which knot do you use on your rigs? Second bonus question..... is the hot glue used to keep the float from sliding away from the hook? Makes sense, I've never seen that before but definitely a pro tip.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

I do it the same way you do. I got mixed up on my not names. I use a loop knot and then cut one strand and tie the hook on

[@jrudmanjr]

Michael Morgan a wooden toothpick does the same thing, keeps the float from sliding.

[@K4Lku]

Mind saying what beach this is? I drove from tampa to Cocoa and can’t seem to find the bite :(

[@geraldwilson8004]

Great Video!! Nice haul!!!

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Thanks for watching.

[@leoestevezleo1495]

Great vid!!! But what type of conditions do you look for when heading out for pomps??? Water temp, wind direction or speed, before or after a front..what is the best time in your opinion?

[@JoeyAntonelli]

I like to fish clean water with minimal current. I like both sides of the sandbar just usually not right on top of the SandBar although sometimes I can prove to be good also. The biggest thing is just finding where the big group of migratory fish are. Really help if you have a network to work with.

[@leoestevezleo1495]

@@JoeyAntonelligreat advice...I fish down south and the pomps here dont bite with clear water...the water has to be turbid (nice blueish powdery color) and winds to be blowing at least 15 mph...but our main run is during Feb-April. But clear water just doesnt produce down here..but thanks on the info

[@timcrews3893]

Hello joey, this is Tim crews question do you know where i can buy some pompano floats?

[@Tyler-kw9ce]

I heard him say strikezone.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Lots of them available online but if you're just looking to try a couple out I would head on into strike-zone or black dog Bait and Tackle. Very knowledgeable staff and they will get you going in the right direction.

[@richardfuchs5131]

Stupid question. But what do you bait the rigs with? Squid? Clam? I’m a northern fisherman. So would love to know.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Sandflea

[@benberry703]

Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈 Joey to you and your family. Keep these great videos coming for 2020.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Thanks for watching. Let's make 20/20 bigger and better then last year.

[@benwaters3364]

Awesome video as always. I make float hooks for my pompano rigs where I hot glue the tear drop floats on a 2/0 kahle hook with the eye just sticking out of the top of the float, then tie on. The way you do it, do you think the heat of the glue could hurt the strength or integrity of your leader?

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Not sure. The glue gun I'm using is a kid one and it doesn't really get that hot. You can put it directly onto your skin and it is bearable. I haven't had any problems with line breaking so I guess it's all good.

[@phytobedo]

What times of year are the best?

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Surf fishing in general gets really good in the winter time that is typically the better time of the year to catch Pompano, Whiting, Sheepshead, and black drum.

[@phytobedo]

Joey Antonelli so right about now. Thanks Joey 👊

[@warrior1657]

Cool Video! Thanks for sharing great tips!

[@peterc504]

Can you catch pompano offshore as well or are they mainly fish that are caught on shore?

[@Jessica37323]

One thing you missed is what type of knot you used to tie to your circle hooks. Snelled is best

[@TB-we1we]

What were you using for bait?

[@JoeyAntonelli]

Sandfleas

Hay Joey, This is Rose were do you fish from. I mean what state is it. I live in south Carolina. I'd try to find them here but with no luck. Tried different spots pn the beach starting from cherry cove pier and moved down the beach. Still no luck finding Pompano or permit. HELP please

[@JoeyAntonelli]

I am on the central East Coast of Florida. I don't know much about the South Carolina area but I do think the Pompano make it up that way.

[@rosekeelan4444]

Thanks for the information your a real good guy.!!!

[@jacquelynvo5984]

Which beach are you at and what is the good time to catch them. Which month? I'm planning on visiting Orlando but want to do some Pompano fishing also. I'm from Oregon

[@FishGum]

I hope you sold some of those!!! What was the water temp that day?

[@JoeyAntonelli]

This was about two weeks ago. I don't remember exactly but I believe it was around 71.

What bait do you use Joey? Sand fleas?

My wife fries in butter pepper , she says coconut oil good also

[@hokuinsai4299]

When I have them at usually cook toll. Sometimes the whole fish fried most the time, baked.

[@amazonforce20]

Joey will I find pomps off Palm Beach (blue heron area)? I feel like I'm too far south sometimes

[@inletreg4844]

J Mendes Jr You can find pomps there. It just depends on conditions (wind, waves, water temp, etc). Right now, a little further north would be your best bet.

[@JoeyAntonelli]

They migrate all the way down and around Florida. Just depends if you have the right timing and conditions. Good luck.

[@inthelifeofben7168]

I’m from Ohio and I’ve always wanted to fish for a job. How good is commercial fishing as a good source of income. How much does a single pomp go for

[@scotchyelper3402]

If you get a commercial license you can take more. I heard about$4 a pound at market. But idk forsure. The commercial guys I have seen off shore were nailing them on the silly jig with the stinger fly attached. Yellow and white jig with a pink stinger hook added is my favorite. Some days they will hit the silly jig with out the stinger and some days they only really want the stinger attached. I have seen the ones with the stinger fly out fish the ones with out 10 to one. Some days they take both. That's fishing things change day to day. Good luck fishing 🦐🐟

[@scotchyelper3402]

It's not always easy because some times their in and alot of the time their not as you see on KZbin videos. It's being there when the water is right and their in.

[@inthelifeofben7168]

@scott yelper do you think it’s do able to come down to Florida and try to make a career out of this. I’m not trying to make the big $ I’m trying to find a job I can wake up every day and have a smile on my face. I’m very big into fishing and have always wanted to guide or something like this in my life. But at the same time I’d be hard to adapt from freshwater to saltwater. I’m just asking if you think it’s possible to be a single commercial fisherman and be able to sustain life
