My son and I hit the end of the payment around 21:30. Drove down to the 17mm and set up tent cots and made ready for an early Thursday morning - target species pompano. Water temp was 61 degrees a bit cool but what the heck. Woke to a flat sea, rigged up the long rods and fished about 20 minutes and no bites. March ordered the rods and went looking for some better water. Made numerous stops and got down to the 25mm before we got our first keeper fish. No pomp but a nice bull whiting. Landed several more before the bite stopped and moved on down the beach. Stopped near the 27mm and immediately began to bag huge bull whiting. Still no pompano. Caught whiting on and off all day. Called it a day and eat some dinner and racked out. Woke to a howling wind Friday AM. Fished most the day and bagged more large whiting and a plump 27" red. Put the rods to bed early, eat some dinner, got a good night sleep with intention of leaving at first light. Woke up to a surprisingly light south easterly wind and decided to try for a stray pom. Within ten minutes had our first pomp in the cooler. Re-energized we went after the unfortunate pomp's mother, father, brother, sister, and of course the cousins. Notta. Did land another keeper red and one over-sized red.. Called it a trip and left the beach with a cooler of large whiting, two reds and a single POMPANO.
Me with a 30" red. Released.
My son with a 27'' red. Kept.

I agree on the rod holders, and the gear(pliers, etc.) holder! Looks like fun, especially with the son involved!  |
