Yes, ladyfish, but in 1950-60’s when I was a youngster fishing Appalachee Bay the guides and old timers called them “skipjack.” Never even heard ladyfish until years later.
Thanks. My early experience was mostly between Panacea and St. Marks, primarily Shell Point when it was only a small fish camp-nothing else-owned by Beaty Taff. Two other local fish names: cobia was “car-bi-o.” I only learned cobia when in my twenties. Similarly, never heard the term “pinfish” until adulthood when fishing the east coast. Here they were “shiners,” and that’s what I still call them because I began that way. Since the 1950s I’ve caught fish (especially trout) on many things, but believe nothing is better than “shiner tails” cut the way a Shell Point guide taught me around 1957. enjoyed your video post. @@happy_hartshornes
@@happy_hartshornes Not a surf fisher, but recently bought my first surf rod to try. That’s why watching YT videos. Folks have suggested Mashes Sands, Bald Point, and St. George Island. Although a little farther from Wakulla, I’ll probably try St. George.
Yes, get at least a 10ft rod. 20-30lb braid. I like the green color. I use the Penn spinfisher IV reels. I use a high low rig or a pompano rig, same thing really. Triangle sinker is at bottom with a hook maybe 6 inches up from that and then another hook about 6 inches up from other hook. I use shrimp. I go to the seafood store and buy a couple lbs of shrimp and then put them in a container full of non-ionized salt. Keep them in for at least 24 hours. It makes it so they won’t fly off the hook as easy when you cast. I also put a small piece of fish bytes or fish gum on the hook with the shrimp. I typically cut a shrimp in half and use each piece on a hook. I have three rods. I usually cast one out as far as I can maybe about 80-90 yards, one around 50 yards and one maybe 40 yards. All between the beach and first sand bar. If I can I’ll try to get one line beyond the first sand bar. Incoming tide is typically better but early morning is good too for pompano.
Great day fishing, great meal! Hope I'm that successful in June at the Outer Banks!
Make sure you let me know how your outer banks trip goes.
Keep it up!

@@guermeisterdoodlebug7980 I have a couple camp trips set for April so I can do some pompano fishing. I love pompano.
