All were from the surf in Emerald Isle NC last Monday. Pompano on fresh shrimp and blues and Spanish on shad jigs. -matthollar

Great day at the beach Pompano can be fun. Several years ago mid 90s I was catching them in surf at folly. Haven’t seen any since. Any reports of pompano around Chas?

What exactly is a shad jig?

Think he might mean a Buck Tail Jig:question:

Those pompano are tasty :sunglasses:We used to catch a lot of them around Savannah, not very often anymore. Heard some recent reports of a few caught at Jekyll Island.

Treble hook looks painful[:0]

A shad jig is a teardrop shaped lead jig 1oz. That they sell at the local tackle shop. The ones I use are white with Mylar tape that comes off after about 2 casts followed by a gold treble hook.

We have a beach house right by Emerald Isle and the fishing is always going strong there! Especially the flounder!

Need to find a beach that hasn’t been renourished in the past 10 years. Gotta have a lot of mole crabs.

That beach is loaded with mole crabs and has a kickass slough on both sides of the bar.
