Went out to Perdido Key on Sunday around 9:00 AM and set up near Crab Trap Restaurant. Counting the guys I was fishing with anda couple of other guys a couple of hundred feet away, we had around 15 lines in the surf. Wind was starting to pick upout of the S'East by that time. Waves weren't much - maybe a foot or foot and a half. I caught a couple of pomps - both over 15". Nobody else caught a thing - not even a Whiting. At least whileI was there - I ended up leaving around noon. I wasfishing a 9' and an 11' withdouble drop rigs.I put aBerkley Gulp sandflea on one hook and fresh dead shrimp on the other. The pomps took the shrimp both times. I have no idea why they chose my bait instead of the other lines in the water - everyone was using either shrimp or frozen sand fleas. I was using a 4 oz sinker, putting the bait a good ways out there. Maybe that was the difference?

My wife and I had fresh broiled pompano with butter, lemon and basil. Along with a nice bottle of Chardonnay, made for a great dinner Sunday night.I had an awesome day on the water Saturday, too. Guess I should play the lottery.....don't have too many "two in a rows", you know?
