Friday 4-29. Got to the beach before high tide, set up and started catching um'. Water green and clean. Using fresh shrimp and fishbites it was on, Whiting on almost every cast. After the tide changed some delicious Pompano starter biting. All the bigger fish came from close in. Enjoyed the action till dusk. Landed small/medium Rays, dink Bluefish, pup sharks and assorted others as well. The Whiting and Pompano were the stars of the show. Tossed back 25-30 smaller Whiting and the smaller Pomps, took home for eating some of the bigger fish, the take home...............

After sun got up and hot, the Whiting and Pomps were hungry again. Fished till I ran out of bait and left um' biting. I was back home cleaning fish by ten thirty. Another good surf trip.

Who looks more surprised about being caught, the Whiting or the Pompano?

Glad you had another successful outing. NO tourists in sight to boot. Pompano are what I'm targeting this year when we head down in 3 weeks. Myrtle Beach area. Of course I'll take what the waters send me. Biggest pomp and whiting???

Wow Fatback yet again you make me feel inadequate about my catch. Nice haul, was that on N beach?

Kim,
Did not put a tape on um', but the biggest Whiting was 12" plus and fat. The Pomps on Friday were smallish and just eating size with the biggest at about 9" seen in the picture. On Saturday more of the same sized Pompano with a couple of bigger looking ones at about eleven inches.

Ga does not have any size or creel limits for Pompano and that's just fine with me because I don't get to catch many of them. The Pompano normally skip the GA coast on their migration north. Our extensive marsh system, fresh water tributaries, wide tide swings, and extremely flat beaches make Georgia's barrier islands not a great place to find the Pompano. It can be done just very challenging. And to make it worse Tybee's beach is renourished every seven years, so we have no Sand Fleas and except for fish the beach is pretty much dead.

Jealous of the Pomps, for sure. Nice catches.
