actually three....  almost landed a 3rd  one...it broke me off     ...another 10 feet and  it would've  join the other two.. took off with my entire  rig   ...Lots of fleas.  used the bigger ones in a #1 circle hook....could barely see the hook, fleas were huge.....   lots of fun

it looked like a baby jack...yeah.  But,  if  a horse eye-jack is   also known hardtail then it was a  a baby jack. they were everywhere.

 Thanks for the report..and for the fleas: On the Chevy Florida Fishing Report, I heard one of the guys on there talking about how you can "blanch" or dip the fleas in hot water for a few seconds before you freeze them and it makes them keep longer. I have never done it...does anyone else on here do this??

I've done it.  It does work.  You can also salt your shrimp the night before and it makes them a lot tougher.  I have to hit the beach soon!

Thanks for the report, I have been going down to the beach in Destin lately and havent got a thing, thought I had missed the Pompano this year.  How far out was your bait?  Will have to head down Saturday. Again, thanks...

Sailor.  I use a    12'  and a  14'  .   3oz sinkers will get you out far  with a  normal average  swing....I tried to get it behind the second  braker....close to  a dropoff ....

Tried again friday moring..man it was  windy as hell...fleas still there though, water was  murky and all churned up from the strong winds out of the east...friend caught a small Red  that was  it

But check this out....last night we went  far east to Destin ....took the boat this time and anchored by the bridge...we slayed the bull Reds  big time....biggest was 44"  on large pin fish....we had a great time, water was flat out  there..wind picked up for moments but it wasn't that bad. tide was coming in strong...got back home aorund 1am.   Had a great time
