Thanks for the report. Whiting are a lot of fun to catch and are great eating.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

It was a nice surprise - can't wait until the pompano hit the surf.

Fished this morning with Rob and Justin, no pompano, but salvaged the day with a few blacktips on casted baits. They were jumping all over the place around high tide. The only fish on the pomp rigs was a decent croaker.

I truly enjoy those black tips when I am in the mood to mess with them on a spinning combo, but they can be a big pain otherwise. Glad you got out there... Hopefully the pompano fishing on the west coast will pick up for me in the near future.
Fish like its the last cast you will ever make.

Fished this morning with James and Rob on the beach in Juno, it was flat calm and clear. There were some spinners jumping, but we couldn't catch a runner or jack for bait. I had one bite all morning, luckily it ended up being a 17" pompano, about to throw it in the oven with a nice crabmeat topping.

Soaked crabs for the past couple of days with nothing to show for it. Looked really good out there today.
Seen a jumbo manta ray, and large stingray crusing the beach thats it.
Back to work I go, good luck out there. :toast:

well i fished in the north palm beach county with my noob cusin ive teaching him and he has learned. so for the few reports i do these fish were worthy of a report we set out for sharks. we meet up around 4 and set up camp on the beach at the last min. i decided to buy 4 crabs just for laughs and see if i couldnt pop my cherry with the permit ive put in some time for them in miami and in the keys with nothing too show but wet crabs. so with nothing going on the shark rods my cusin decideds too go too there condo and get a couple of things i stay on the beach and watch the rods it was about 10pm my big spinner pops and sits i pick it up and feel heavy not alot of seaweed around so i set the hook and bam fish on. a couple hours later iam talkin with my cusin and my superman 4/0 gets bouncein i pick it up and it runs off i set the hook and throw the rod too my cusin he is locked in for about 10-15 mins and lands his first permit and one of his biggest fish ever it was a good night even though no sharks but iam not complaning.
