Default RE: Pompano Surf rods

My latest experiment into the Pompano surf fishing world is a 12 foot UL(I call it that) built on a crappie pole blank. It's really fun with a bonito. NOT!



I use a 11 foot AFAW Estuary(1-3 oz) with jigs or 'running and gunning'. I use a 13 foot AFAW SURF(3-5 oz) when casting multiple dropper rigs with bait.



It's easier to have to shorten the cast to reach the fish than to wishfully watch when the fish are just beyond range.



Besides I had a close encounter with a shark and no longer wade, It's fishing from dry sand at a long distance.



One Pompano went 22" this year along with a lot of 'regular' ones.



Stan: Where are you? You were supposed to come back after your knee surgery but didn't. Send me a PM please.



Merry Christmas from the Swamp. C2
