Been surf fishing with a pompano rig and dead shrimp for about a week now and i'm only hooking pretty small pomps (and a gazillion lady fish). You guys have any advice on how to target the larger ones? BTW im casting my bait out in between first and second
Thanks!

Most of the schoolie pomps run between the beach and the bar, but most of the big pomps seem to stay right up on the beach. I would cast your rigs out at different distances, such as one right on the drop along the beach, one in the cut, and one as far as you can throw it.. that could give you some kind of an idea as to where the bigger ones are coming through. I dont know much about surf fishing, i usually sight cast to them from the pier... hope this helps

| When I was a kid, we would catch more pompano on live sand fleas than dead shrimp. As far as casting, i'm unsure of that, it's been a while. Give the sand fleas a try

don't want to sound dumb, but you might try looking for washouts. you probably already do, just thought i'd mention it in case you don't. me and JEC have found pompano pretty regularly at ft. pickens pier, but they were not large- just legal.
