Trip Summary
The Pompano are staging in their winter haunts and are ready to go! These speedsters move in and out with the tides, and having a local bead on their habits and optimal conditions is crucial for hooking up with them consistently. They can bite on a variety of set-ups, but I always go back to my reliable standbys. I like a chartreuse/pink/white weighted banana jigs tipped with shrimp and bounced in the current! When you feel the the quick bite be ready with a fast hookset and your off to the races!
Always, a good idea before planning a Pompano trip, is to match up strong tides with good stable sunny weather! If you want to catch Pompano? I’m your “go to beach guide” with a 30 year history of targeting and catching them here in Sarasota!
Tight lines from the beach!
