Fished Sarasota Bay again today and found the pompano chewing like crazy. Caught 30 pomps on Super Hair Clousers, with the largest fish going nearly 5 pounds. Also, added six bluefish to 4 pounds, four Spanish mackerel to 5, two small spotted seatrout and a couple of ladyfish. All fish on Clousers.
Fishing should be good tomorrow and Wednesday. However, an approaching cold front Wednesday night should shut things down for at least 3-4 days.
Interestingly enough, all I had to do was sit and watch for fish to either break on the surface or fin on the surface. And anywhere I saw baitfish on the surface, I’d cast and it would usually result in the fish.
Best pompano action I’ve ever had on fly – or any tackle for that matter. I’m convinced, though, that the fly is outproducing any other form of fishing.
Here are some photos. Sorry about the water on my lens when I took the photo of the Spanish mackerel!
