Well it’s Wednesday evening and I thought yesterday’s pompano bite was pretty good for August . I headed back out this morning and it was better .I put my catch together and my son Randy went home with some nice pompano up to 2 1/2 pounds also . The bite was best from 730 to 930 this morning but we did pick away at them until we left around 1130 . There seems to be a pretty nice spread of fish in the area . EZ Flea Electric Chicken was the only scent and color I used today after yesterday’s success and I checked with Woody and Alec at the Snook Nook and they have a great inventory of this bait . One little tip I would like to share is these early season fish are not pulling the rods down on their bites . A small wiggle on the tip is what a good number of them showed today and yesterday when they bit so pay attention to your rods . It may be because of the warm water but they are not biting like they do in the fall and winter . Taking the day off tomorrow to work my shift at the Snook Nook in the morning but I’ll be back out on Friday . So far Erin looks she is going to stay east of us but expect some swells next Tuesday and Wednesday as per the National Weather Service . Let’s hope she stays on that track . Good luck this week and catch em up .
It’s Tuesday afternoon and I decided this morning to take a break from chasing the whiting and croaker and attempt to throw my long rods in search of a couple of pompano bites . I haven’t thrown a bait out for the pompano in months due to the rotator cuff issue and subsequent rehab sessions on my shoulder . I am happy to report that the shoulder held up and my EZFlea Electric Chicken baits managed to put some nice pompano in the cooler and also catch a beautiful permit just before I left the beach . All in all a great day . There were plenty of bites from 10 inch pompano, ladyfish, and a few catfish also during the morning . It’s nice to see some of these summer pompano and permit on our beaches . All of the pompano were in that 60 to 70 yard range from the beach . I started with EZFlea Orange and white , EX Flea Electric Chicken, and Ghost Shrimp . As the morning wore on I switched all of my rods over to the EZFlea Electric Chicken as that one rod continued to produce . The permit hit on that bait also as i was getting to leave . The rods with just Fishbites out produced the ones with the sand fleas and Fishbites. These summertime pompano have been showing the past couple of weeks from Hobe Sound to Fort Pierce . It looks like there is enough of them around to bring a couple of the long rods and put them in your sandspikes even if you are fishing some short rods for the whiting and croaker . I hope everyone has a good week . Good luck and catch em up .
