didn't think I would fish this week.. with the neap tides and the Fiesta 10K race on Saturday.... but when the winds came up this morning.. I was heading for the beach... Navarre.. that is....
got out there about 10 and caught fleas... mostly smaller variety tho probably 8 large ones...
caught 7 fish... all above 12"... one was mauled by a shark or King on the way to the beach.. so I sent it back for completion...
the fish were a mix.. 3 smaller... three large-average... no miracle holes or special techniques... done by 1:45pm..
did lose a 2oz spider weight to Blues... it was doing well in the heavy surf and winds... but the blues cut it off.. didn't touch the baited hooks...
I am done with the spider weights...

| When yu are pompano fishing you run through all kinds of rigging set ups. make your own and see which one wks best... I'm still learning how to figure it out..This one is home made loop knot using leftovers from walmart pompano rigs I used last year... the one in the pic is 30lb fluorocarbon with a #1 circle hook. Sometimes you put beads alone ....sometimes you dont pu't anything, sometimes you use a floater sometimes you don't...that all depends on water conditions, etc...this is very solid rig, so it won't brake easy if you get a big blue or red.... ..caught three pomps and 3 baby sharks yesterday afternoon using this the same rig. good luck, have fun.

| I'm glad folks are getting pomps. Thus far, the only thing I've gotten this week is a tan. Will venture out tomorrow morning w/one small rod and one long rod in order to run and gun the pomp holes. Fishpedaller, How did you fare Monday during your exploration??

| Monday I pulled the cart E from Navarre toward the Tripod.. never quite got there... but just beyond the water tower... a N wind made it comfortable and the water beautiful... very pretty holes and bars but the fish were not there... managed 6 or 7 small fish.. mostly males I believe... and kept 3 right at 12"... one of which was a female.. as I came back to the Pier area the wind had picked up on a low tide.... and Fishermon caught a Pompano bigger than any I caught all day... while near the Air Force installation at the water tower I did spot a few feeding Pompano.. the water was glassy and clear... I pulled the hook out on one and the others were really skittish... Today seems like it should have been good... but it was not for me... caught 1 nice Pompano... and maybe 8 catfish.. a large ray broke me off, thankfully... mostly couldn't lose my bait.. done by 10:30am

| Went early morning and picked up one pomp and numerouse lady fish, blues, and hard tails. I was pretty much just hitting holes throwing a pomp jig and had one surf rod w/fleas. I think I might just do the light tackle thing for awhile and run and gun.

| After a very lackluster week last week (at least for me), managed 7 pomps and 1 bull red on my little rod using a carolina rig with teaser flies. I only brought the little rod this morning because I was working holes w/a pomp jig. Had a good bite from 7 to 9, then it was time to go home and pack for my New Mexico trip to glorious Cannon AFB. Also, did manage to get a decent amount of fleas w/out brealing my back.
