I forgot to put this post up the other day on this page when I originally did it so it’s a few days old but

I hit the beach this morning, south end of Hutchinson Island, with a couple of pompano rods and one short rod with the thought that if the pompano were not biting I would make an effort to see if the spring whiting bite was starting . After last weeks wind event coupled with the waves of sargassum w**d it was nice to see the w**ds not in the water and 1 foot waves . I did get a bite on the long rod and put one pompano in the cooler but that would be the beginning and the end to those bites this morning. High tide was around 1245 today on the beach and I got the 7’6inch Quantum Fishing Zeal rod coupled with a Quantam Strive 3000 reel ready to go . Fishbites Jingle Bites bait and a small piece of shrimp was my bait choice and it started right away . I always use Ed Killers statement that he would put in his column in the paper every year, “ the whiting are biting “. They bit right through the top of the tide and once the cooler was full I left . Find a beach with a well defined near shore trough and I’ll bet you’ll put a fish fry together . Today if I cast more than 15 yards I did not get any bites . Water temperature was 78 today , it’s the month of May , and the water had great color .If anyone is planning on a Memorial Day Weekend fish fry now is the time to start stocking up . Good luck this weekend and catch em up .

Just a quick reminder that I will be doing my Spring Surf Fishing Seminar this Saturday , the 21st , at Bass Pro Shops on Gatlin Blvd in Port St Lucie . The seminar will begin at 2 pm . We always seem to run out of seats at Bass Pro so I would recommend that you get there a little bit early to get a good seat . Hope to see you there.
