    Everytime I go out to portofino or Pensacola beach area, I never catch anything. Haha. We had 3 dozen live ghost shrimp and thought we were gonna tear them up today. Beautiful clear water and flat surf conditions. We didn’t get any bites for an hour and a half. We caught some whiting on the...

    Just started tying my own pompano rigs after hearing that smaller hooks are better and the smallest I see in pre-made rigs are #4 or 6 wide gaps. I bought a bunch of #1 circles and commenced to preparing for pompano season. All the pre-made rigs I see have fluorescent beads, and/or small floats...

    Hello, I am looking for someone who has a custom sand flea rake they want to sell, or would make a custom sand flea rake in the off season? There is a guy on YouTube that made one, and it awesome, but he does not sell them to the general public. I'm looking forward to pompano season, and...

    I hit the surf on Navarre beach again today. After I got setup I realized I left the sand flea rake in the car...so I was lazy and went with cut ladyfish, and shrimp. Wasn't long before I had a shark hooked...on a pompano rig. After that I had a really nice fight with a redfish that was hungry...

    I've recently started fishing for pompano in the surf on Navarre beach, and I am wondering when if I need to try to fish for them around high tide??

    Wen't out today around 6:30 in the morning to try the surf and the bite was good, caught a bluefish, some whiting, and a BIG skipjack. While I was castnetting bait, I was constantly catching baby pompano so I'm sure there are bigger keeper pompano out farther. The bite slowed so I went for a...
