Pompano have been feeding heavily of late and this beauty being displayed here is proof positive of that.
The fishing the last couple weeks has been very good. Fishing Nearshore on the calmer days spanish mackerel, bonito, kingfish, and tripletail have been feeding on the schools of baitfish migrating south.
Also fishing the passes with jigs has been very good on the right tides. On three trips last week the pompano were feeding heavily as well a large schools of jacks, ladyfish, snapper, silver trout, and some small grouper .
The water temps are in the low 70’s and is very clean, hopefully this will continue into the upcoming Christmas holidays.
