Texas Pompano are Back Padre Island National Seashore

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

It felt great to be back down the Padre Island National Seashore and run in to some Pompano. How has Pompano fishing been for you this season? Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisFish22718]

Been tearing them up! Reds have been beating up our pomp rigs too ! Good stuff 🤙

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

@ChrisFish22718 heck yeah, good to hear y'all have been tearing them up! 💪 We missed some good days for Pompano but we were happy to get on some this day. We need to have another 30+ day.

[@Angler13Fishing]

Awesome to see you guys back out there slaying up some pompano!! 🎣

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks, it felt great to be back down the beach again chasing them down. We're still looking for them 20 / 30 Pompano days we had in previous years. Just gotta keep going when the windows open up.

[@Angler13Fishing]

@@MattsSaltwaterFishing yes sir! 🎣

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Nice surf haul boys! Ruben had me cracking up when he said he’s got the prettier face😂

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks, Eric! Can't wait for jetty fishing this Spring! Hope you have been doing well.

[@joannq1896]

My favorite fish to eat is Pompano. If you haven't eaten some. Try it, you won't be disappointed. This was a great video.❤

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks for watching! Yes, Pompano is absolutely delicious!

[@miguelvaldez6837]

Great video guys , that Yeti cooler looks " AWSOME " with all those fish inside 👍

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks, Miguel! The cooler is actually pretty big. We were thinking of getting one earlier this year for fishing the Port Aransas Jetties, but they had just had a recall and we couldn't find them anywhere online. Yeti just released them again in October so we picked one up. Looking forward to having cold water all day and nice and coold food/snacks.

[@RubenakaChupacabra]

Jack'em up. I'm waiting for the updated video for capacity. I need a cooler that will fit 20 Pompano minimum.

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

I'm working on it.

[@cagonzal13]

Nice pompano I need to find that video where y'all did it catch and cook

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks, Carlos! Yeah I'd have to check through the Pompano videos to find which one it was, I know we've fried it up and also baked it in the oven whole on one of the videos.

[@gregmartinez6235]

What size hooks where y'all using I used a size 3 j hook and missed few last weekend

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

We usually use size 2/0 and 3/0 circle hooks. For smaller Pompano the 3/0 can be a little too big, but we rather not mess with the smaller ones anyways. The downside to the 2/0 hooks is that you can get them bent out easily if you hook into over slot Red / Bull Red / stingray.

[@chriscothren2030]

what diawa spinning rod is that?? looking for a new one!!

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Daiwa Coastal SP Surf. A decent rod for the money. There is a story behind that rod lol... when I eventually crank out the jetty videos from earlier in the year you will know. 😂

[@chriscothren2030]

@@MattsSaltwaterFishing probably has to do with comments made about local vendors product you were useing!

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

@@chriscothren2030 lol maybe.

[@aquiles2375]
