This seems like a bad sping for Ponpano. When are things going to pick up? We are expected to have east to northeast winds from
Sunday through next week. I know that southeast is a better wind for pomps but will east to northeast bring any in?
Pompano migration?

Re: Pompano migration?
So far they've been biting from what I've been hearing down in my end. But Southeast is preferable because of the migration back North. But I wouldn't doubt that they would bite with a Northeast wind as long as that water is murky green. Funny you should mention, i thought about giving it a try, but work conquers all! Lol... I would give it a shot if I were you. Good luck

Re: Pompano migration?
You can catch pomps at Bill Baggs? I didnt even know surf fishing was allowed down there. Where do you park? Do you fish in the surf there on the east side?

Re: Pompano migration?
they dont allow surf fishing. and i dont target pomps in the park. but i always use shrimps as bait and accidentally, and consistently catching few pomps here and there, during strong SE winds days. it just goes on to tell you that, if I can catch them in biscayne bay, i am sure the pomp bites are fire in other places where you surf fish

Re: Pompano migration?
Where do you fish then if they dont allow surf fishing? A pier down there? That is a real shame that they dont allow surf fishing. Im trying to learn as much as I can about the pompano
migration. I am not convinced the pomps down in the keys migrate all the way to north FL and the carolinas. Im thinking its more of a local population of fish. Thoughts?

Re: Pompano migration?
dania pier, newport pier, haulover jetty have all seen good runs of pompano this spring. gotta go when the conditions are right. supposed to have east winds 15-20kts thru the rest of the week and into the weekend. I've been out the past couple days, the water is the right color and I've seen people catching them.
