Hope everyone stayed warm over the past couple of weeks with all the cold fronts that rolled through. This week and next week look like they’re going to warm up, and hopefully that helps warm the water up a bit too, because the cold has definitely been taking a toll on the fish.
The waves are expected to calm down this week, so hopefully the beach bite picks up.
People have been catching lots of small whiting, black drum, and baby pompano. It’s something to reel in, but not exactly what we’re hoping for. That said, I have heard of a few keeper black drum and pompano mixed in with the smaller fish.
Stick with the same bait and rigs as usual: a pompano rig with orange floats (or pink), tipped with peeled pieces of frozen shrimp and sand fleas. Clam has been working well at times too, so make sure you bring a variety of bait.
Not much more to report this week, so as always—tight lines!
