I took a quick afternoon trip down the seashore hoping for pomps with son, Bryan. We arrived right near the 20mm where we met our friend Beach Bum who had bagged 10 good keeper pomps and some whiting fishing mainly in the front of the bar. We hit a nice squeeze just a bit south and started to fish both in front and over the bar. After about a half hour we hit south to Donnie's Hole near the 24. This time there was a suckout so I tried inside and either side of the suckouts and over the bar. There more whiting including a grander whiting which was released but no pomps. I think the best bite occurred before high tide at 1:15p. We started at 1:30p.
Baron enjoyed another nice day at the beach.
I found some great looking fishbites at Roy's Check out the bicolor sandflea and the electric chicken.
On a different note. I was careless on the nearly empty beach and realized I was going 30 inside the 15mph area. Actually around the 1mm the rangers did a U turn and flashed the lights on at the Sticks. After about ten minutes of checking vehicle records, driver's license, liability, rolling down the window to see Baron in the back the ranger told me I was getting a citation just a warning this time! I told yeah I just lost track and that I definitely knew better running the beach and being a board member on Friends of Padre, writing the surf articles for 12 years. I guess he knew I was sincere and probably saw that I have never gotten a traffic ticket. In fact people give me crap for being such a grandpa following the speed limit.
So to celebrate my luck I made "bait picatta" with the remaining frozen shrimp in my freezer and a big whiting we got on Saturday.
11/24 We hit the sand around 8am with the CCA Ladies again in hopes of getting Kingkilla pomp numbers! We ran to a secret undisclosed location in the Big Shell and Lo and Behold the Kingkilla was already set up so we tossed our lines out and we also only were getting whiting. Earlier we ran into Donnie Schwirtlich from the message forum in his Subaru Outback. Donnie had several pomps and whiting. After a few more moves and a big tide we moved north of the Big Shell. A couple of spots later we got a nice Whiting which we kept and two average sized pompano. I took about 10 shots on my cell phone but only one showed up. The ladies spotted a popping cork bobbing in the water and thought there might be a keeper fish on there so Kimberly went and pulled it out. It was safely released.

You Go, Tyler...........
[And the 'spare' grub looks amazing!!!!]
Not really a Do you know who I am but to tell him that I knew better and kind of a steward for the beach and should not have been doing 30 in a 15. There were so few people and my son and I were actually rambling on entertaining ourselves doing voices from Christmas Specials and me calling a football game as Morgan Freeman about that time I looked up and OOPS! _________________ Like Corpusfishing.com on Facebook!

Tyler, how did the water look down south - i was planning on heading down in the early morning. My usual spot - and then probably down south of the 50. How was the driving - ?
Sunday looks a bit better though - so i may hold off and go then. _________________ Don - permanent prescription of salt water therapy.

Thanks for posting that - now hopefully this weekend , the pomps will be around again. _________________ Don - permanent prescription of salt water therapy.
Unbelievable how simple this combination is, and just how much flavor you get out of it!! The trout were wonderful. The sauce is 'velvety'. And I even dusted the fish with a combination of Benoit's cajun seasoning and tapioca flour!
[Had to put my person spin on it!]
But it's a keeper recipe Tyler. So simple, but so good.
