Pompano! Wow what a great fish .I am in Orange Beach and have never caught a Pomp on the beach , although I have looked and tried. How do you choose which area of the beach to drop your line? There are miles of beach .

Todd, I grew up here in P'cola and know those names well. It's funny how names change over time.

Flyfisher, I'd look for areas of deeper water(holes, washouts, etc.). You want to identify the sharp color contrast from lighter to darker water which indicates a change in water depth. Find a spot where there's a hole in the bar or a deep trough of water that starts close to shore and extends out past the sandbar. This is a good starting point to try and fish with some fresh shrimp. Good luck.

Masterbaiter, Those folks that approached you at the car may have been WITH OTHERS on a boat that didn't catch fish, allowing fora different limit, per capita, sort of.

Purdy, I'm having such a time by 3 mile bridge, but i would rather surf fish if it's productive. Surf fishing and wading, to me, is the truest form of fishing.And, I admire your persistence.

Good job!
