Surf Fishing the Evening Bite and Caught Dinner! 

Glad you enjoyed it

Appreciate it! Good luck out there 🤘

Definitely my favorite fish to eat! That was very nice of you to give that family some Pompano. Good luck out there Paul!

Thanks Joseph!

Appreciate it! Tight lines!

thanks!

Awesome! Hope you have a great trip and get on some fish! Haha I'll try and remember that if I see a big dude.

Appreciate it!

Thanks! Good luck out there 👊

Got a limit of Pompano this morning in Navarre! They are definitely chewing now. So happy its picking up. Sorry to hear you've had a tough year as well. I really think this year the Pompano bypassed our area. Good luck out there Wesley!

What an honor, Thanks! If there are people swimming in the water near your lines there is really not much you can do other than move. The swimmers always win. Spreading them out further can help if they are only swimming on one side of you though.

Thanks!

Thanks Neal! Sorry for the delayed response, had a busy weekend. I actually prefer 9 to 10 foot rods because to me they are more enjoyable for me when fighting a fish. I use 12 foot rods when I need extra casting distance or when the surf is up because the added length helps keep the line out of the waves. I gain about 20 yards to my cast when going from a 9 footer to a 12. I choose my sinker weight based on what the rod throws the best and never change that weight. for my rods that is 3 and 4 ounce. I only use sputniks on the rough days when a storm sinker or pyramid will not hold bottom. in this particular video I left my sinkers at home but luckily had some random ones in my trunk and that is why I was using both a Sputnik and Storm. Hope this helps, tight lines!

@@JustinReedFishing Thanks for the great answer! Hope it was a FUN busy weekend!

Thanks Scott! I linked an older video on how I cool the Bluefish. It should be below the description.

Its not a fun sight watching that rod go i to the water. Hope you got it back!

@@JustinReedFishing Yup, that's how I figured out what grabbed it :)

I like a medium to medium/fast action for surf fishing.

GREAT VIDEO, YOU GOT DINNER?🍽️ 🐟🎣 I have been catching quite a few pompanos 🐟🐟🐟 lately, but all have been small , from PBC all the way to Forth Walton,I might get lucky and get a keeper with all the ladies mixed in, am fishing Navarre this weekend , and see if the bigger ones start running from west ⬅️ to East ➡️ yet with cooling down water temps, might be to Early, but it's worth a try,, Thanks for the Content Always,,, STAY SAFE GOD BLESS 🐟🐟🐟,,

The dinner was the Bluefish. I love eating Bluefish. Got a limit of Pompano this morning in Navarre! Good luck when you head over!

it is a 1.25oz OG Minnow from www.eslures.com

Thanks!

@flapjack, Justin may have a different answer but I will give my thought on lady fish. I was curious about the lady fish also so brought one home. I had a heck of a time trying to filet it. The meat was very soft, mushy, and oily which made it really hard to filet. Id say everyone should try it once :)

Ladyfish are just not good eating. I've tried them and was not a fan at all. I personally think Bluefish get a bad rap. With Bluefish its all about eating them fresh and cutting out all the dark meat (bloodline). Bleeding any fish will improve the quality of the meat. The meat will be whiter and firmer.

@@NealLauderman I agree Neal it was pretty mushy. Glad to hear you gave it a try though! I try most species of fish at least once to form my own opinion. I was hoping Ladyfish was going to be good because we catch so many here haha.

@@NealLauderman Thanks, Neil! Lol Justin definitely agrees with you! Thanks, both yinz!

@@JustinReedFishing LOL. From Neil’s account it sounds like a Filet O Fish sammich would be a welcome alternative to eating Lady Fish. And an interesting take on blue fish. I’ve wondered about Spanish Mackerel being considered a fine eating fish as well. Aren’t they on the oily side like blues? Seems like certain fish need to be bled and cut properly, but can be damn good eating. While some fish are just crap.
