19" & two 18" Florida Pompano (Texas Permit )
One of the most expensive fish per pound in the world is FLORIDA POMPANO
Caught several Chopper Blues & the rare Eating Size Croaker
Dozens of Bull Whiting - the size you can cut a 10" filet per side
Fake baits FISH BITES with custom colored hook float leaders and Owner #4 hooks
Getting Rare in the surf - croakers used to run the suds by the millions. Now you are lucky to catch one big enough for the box. I released this one.
Chopper Bluefish. Lotta bite offs in the suds this time of the year are contributed to these fish. Serious teeth and voracious feeders - anything moves get hit.
Estimated 3 - 4 lb Pompano. Fishing 15lb test on an AKIOS 666 reel, they rip line off the reel and run the bars during hookup. Fun on light long distance casting tackle.
My longest Pompano to date taped 22" last year. The Texas State Record taped 24" and went 6lbs.
Casts around 120 - 140 yards puts the bait in their zone - the bigger Pomps.
