I've fished alongside the "chinese guy" many times (I think he's Vietnamese) and what he's doing, and what I do, is to wade out to the far side of the 1st bar and cast out to the trough (dark water) betweenthe bars. It works for me. However, I've been to several seminars and have one DVD on pompano fishingand the experts all seem to say to place the bait on the bar. Two years ago I talked to a commercial fisherman who uses 13 ft. rods and he said he also goes way out.Bottom line is it's probably best to try different distances on each trip till you can determine which works.
