Tyler, visiting from Chicago, caught this beautiful pompano while fishing the middle grounds with me this past week. It’s a great week for fishing Sarasota Bay, and pompano fishing here on the Gulf Coast is a premier winter/spring activity, with the fish migrating south to the region from November through April, peaking from late February to April.
They are highly targeted on inner coastal grass flats for their fighting ability and excellent taste. Look for water temperatures in the low 60s to mid-70s, generally appearing after cold fronts.
