Met with a client in Port A, so brought a spinning rod in for when I was done. Hit the beach about 6:30 midway between Access RD 2 and Fish Pass. Green water all the way in, no grass, no crowds, light wind small waves and bait fish everywhere. Great day before I even got the rod out.

Threw a strawberry tout for a little while and after a couple of little skip jacks, I changed to 1/2 oz gold spoon (probably 30 year old Johnson Sprite still in the packaging!). Couple of casts in, my drag took off. Had to look this one up when I got home!

Best I can tell, it is a Bluefish. Agree? First one for me and a good fight on a little Shimano Sedona spinning reel!

Always been an inshore fisherman, so it is always fun to see the variety in the surf.

Next cast, caught a nice sized pompano:

Bunch of small skipjack after that.

Good little 30 minute fishing trip and a nice way to wind down after work!

I think the second one is a jack. But I could be wrong.

It's always good to be out there.
For only 30 minutes you did great!

Don't know if that's a pomp. Mouth looks a little too large.
Baby Jack maybe?

14 more days and I'll be down there.

Check for a black spot/mark right behind the gill slit on your jacks/pomps. If it has the black spot/mark it is a jack....if no black spot/mark it is a pompano.
