Throwing my 13 foot rods and pushing and pulling my loaded beach cart was not an option due to the the effort and chance of popping all of the stitches from my procedure area . However the motion of holding and reeling a 7 foot light action rod with a 3/8 ounce goofy jig on the end and standing in one position fit within the parameters of my restrictions . I hit the river this morning around the change of the tide and managed to put a few pompano in the cooler . Two of the fish were absolute studs and the fight they can give you on light tackle is definitely a thrill . The water on the beach cleaned up here on South Hutchinson Island and although the bite was slow today for a few of my friends there were a few fish taken . This is only going to get better as we near daylight savings time this weekend and both the surf and the river will be producing fish . I put the jig and teaser combo that worked today in the picture. Randy and I caught a ton of pompano last spring on that tri colored jig with the gold teaser . These tri colored jigs and the hard to find gold teasers are available at the Snook Nook in Jensen Beach and to be honest with you I have never seen them online or in any other tackle store that I have been in . I want to add some information about the jig . That is a Gulfstream Lures Jig . Corey Pagano , who is the owner of Gulfstream Lures reminded me of that as well he should have . His jigs have the best hooks of any pompano jig I have ever used and the hard finish keeps their appearance great . Snook Nook always has an inventory of all sizes . .
