Don't have the pics from the camera yet, but the little lady hooked up with a double Pompano this morning right near Stinky's.
I'll post is as soon as I get it.

Remember that as of this year, you need a license to fish. You can get one at Walmart.

Thanks for the reminder on licenses. Yes, Walmart sells licenses. Of course I recommend that everyone get their licenses at Yelllowfin. What the heck, it's locally owned, been around since 1999, and just a visit to the store will provide a wide variety of Pompano fishing tips. Live bait, frozen bait, all kinds of tackle, and the famous Pompano Floats, available only at Yellowfin.

Nice one, 2 black spots and dorsal and anal fin same size are key characteristics, is this a common catch down there, have not seen one on the beach.

It was the first one I'd ever seen. I was fishing for Pompano which is what I usually catch. That or Blues, Reds, Lady Fish, Flounder and the ocassional Ray.

Thats awesome! That was actually the first fish I caught on my boat a few years ago along the grass flats by crab island. They do fight like crazy! What kind of test are you using out there? I think its about time to get my feet wet when the swells go down
