- Today we set off to catch one of the best tasting fish you can catch in the surf on Oak Island. today we are pursuing pompano. What will that take? It will take the right rig, the right bait, a little luck and persistence.

Always knew you kinda looked familiar, after watching a few videos I realized you’re Mr. Sands the teacher
Hey! I am going to try and catch some pompano next week! Glad to know the are biting!
I caught a few more small ones today so they are definitely around.
I’ll be in Oak Island all next week, never done much surf fishing but I’m gonna give it a try while the kids play. Sounds like You recommend Double drop Pompano rigs with sand fleas? What about fresh shrimp? Helpful video!
Was out today using sandfleas and fresh shrimp. Both were working well with the whiting. Having caught any pompano yet.
We try every summer on oak island for pompano, when I hooked the 18” beast a couple weeks ago it just makes me want to go even harder to find some
That looked like a small sandbar shark.
Wave when you come by my dock in your pontoon boat- we have old family friends who come here every year in August. They would love a tour. I’ll tell them to ask for you. Love the restaurant reviews. Glad you finally got a Pompano. Let me know when you have time for fly fishing.
Just so you know, you are already part of the tour ;)
Great video..
IAN we need to go fishing together sometime I'm 65 been fishing your area my whole life I could tell you story's.
About OAKLAND.
At 6:40 when you are holding that shark by the tail. For a shark weighing less than 30 lbs, grab it by the dorsal fin. That's way easier. Make sure you hold it out away from you thigh, though.
From Charlotte here and fishing Lake Norman hybrids/striped bass.
Been wanting to take the wife and kids to Oak Island. Maybe we’ll get out there this summer.
Is there a pier or banks to fish pompano from or is it just at the beach?
Thank you!
There are two piers on Oak Island, Ocean Crest Pier and the Oak Island Pier (used to be the yaupon pier). However for pompano, I’d think you’d do best just fishing from the surf.
With all the coquina on the beach this past weekend i was using the pink clam fish bites and it worked really well on TI. I don't know if they were down there where you are but if they are you might want to try that. Great video as always,thank you for doing it.
Last summer there was a lot by 40E. In this video I was mostly on the west side. Thanks!
Have you ever tried pinning your float against your hook with a toothpick?
No, but sounds like a good idea!
Have you fished over near the lighthouse with any luck?
I’ve fished Caswell near the hot hole. I’ve always done better on the rising tide, not so good at low tide though
Great video Ian! We will be on the island tomorrow thru Sunday if you would care to fish again.
I’ve got tours tomorrow but Friday looks good

Sounds good. I will let you know where we are. Looking forward to it.
I learned this from tying crappy jigs 6 lb test go threw the eye pull about 4 inches of line go back through the eye again if you grip the end you just went through with you will have a loop.
What type of line do you prefer to tie your riggs? Mono or Fluorocarbon?
I use mono. I don’t feel our water is clear enough, at least not in the surf, the pay the extra for fluoro. But if I was fishing in Florida…
noice video
Last night I was at nineteen street and caught a 5 foot Atlantic shark on Shrimp
Wow! it must have been hungry
I've got a much simpler double drop rig to tie. Never buy another double rig again
