Well, thanks to all who gave advice and tips. It has been a great vacation.
Me and the wife just got finished eating two pompano that we caught this afternoon. YUM!
After the gulf settled down, the surf fishing has been great this week. We caught pomps, reds, sharks, whiting, lamprey, ladyfish, lizardfish, and I also had two rays (one in the surf, one at Big Lagoon) that I had to cut the line on (8 lb braid!) I probably caught 30-40 skipjacks, with many being rather large and giving good fight and flight. We went to Pensacola Beach pier yesterday, and I caught a 5 1/2 -6 foot blacktip on a 1oz. Gotcha! Got him up out of the water, and then cut the line. After Ike left the gulf, the fishing just got better and better. Hate that we are headed home tomorrow, back to trout in mountain rivers . We caught most everything on either 3" new penny Gulp shrimp or Gotchas, and caught the pompano on Gulp sandfleas. Here's a few pics. Tight lines!
We'll probably be back in spring, cant wait!
