the only thing i saw that any one was catching was smacks.. and i was suprised to catch those pomps... the smacs were blowing up everywhere. but very smart and hard to catch.

I've heard those "Gotcha" plugs are the best thing around for smacks

Awesome bro...we were the group of about 6 trucks parked 50yards south of the rocks. Saw you leave around 4:00 or so. WQe got a big skunk for the day. Anyway, those are some sweet Pomps, 19" should go 3-1/2 -4lb. The biggest I've seen come off PINS in 20+ years was mabey 21" at 4-1/2lb. Also, after you left, I saw a guy wading next to the rocks in the wade gut pull out 2 Flounder going 20" or so. Ya'll sorry bastiges...LOL
later,

To keep those Sp macs on the hook, use about a 3' piece of 50 lb mono as a leader with a long shanked thin wire hook 3/0 and don't let them take it all day before you set the hook. I slammed the big macs at BHP this afternoon on shrimp under a cork(live or dead), mannolures, and everything I had already used and abuse lure-wise in my tackle bag. They were even chewing up an old ratttle-trap. Other folks were catching a bunch of pomps on dead shrimp and that is what I was trying for, but the macs wouldn't let it be long enough for one to find the bait. I hate days like this-NOT. Did you catch your pomps with shrimp?
