A evening at the pass

[flatsrat76]

I went out to the pass for a couple of hours today and caught 3 Pompano 4 trout 3 ladyfish 5 Spanish Mackerel and a grunt. I caught most of the fish on a Pompano jig except the keeper Pompano and trout were caught on a Bucktail ment for Redfish.

All on jigs - good job! Multi-species bites are the best! Hows about a pic of your obviously killer jig patterns?

Don't know why those are called "trout", they look a bit like walleye.

Ditto HJ - great catch

Nice fish! Some good eats there, have had (and caught a few as a child) sea trout before, but never pompano. The popano have to be awsome fighters with such a broad body. If i remember right those trout only have a couple sharp teeth right up front, but the body shape is very close to walleye.

Congrats!

Your right about the Pompano, If you tied a trout and a Pompano together the Pompano would pull the trout that size inside out

The trout are actually in the drum family and they do have some nasty k9s

Nice fish Flatsrat!! I've caught a few trout, sheepshead, and black drum, and absolutely love catching fish in the salt. Is it just me or do saltwater fish fight harder than freshwater fish???

I have to agree with you on that. I no longer fish freshwater
