On a gorgeous day in Melbourne Beach (Tuesday, Sept. 28), the Crush Station charter group went surf fishing and smashed into some serious pompano action. I lost count early on, but it sure felt like we reeled in +40 fish. That includes 4 double-ups. Of all those pompano, only 5 were big enough to take home. We also got a nice 13″ whiting. The mullet were running as thick as I’ve personally observed this season, but there wasn’t much to see as far as predator activity. I tried free-lining a few finger mullet and throwing some paddle tails, but couldn’t connect with any hungry customers. Sandfleas were pretty sparse out there. All fish were caught on @FISHGUM!
