What is the ideal water temperature range for pompano?
Right now over in Navarre....temp no idea but a pomp killing was taking place 2 weeks ago
Lower 70's before the skipjack/ladyfish move in. They're still around after that but the ladys make it a pain to fish for them IMO
.
I'd have to say upper 60s.
Coincidentally, this spring has had rather cool water temps, and the best pompano bite I've seen in 40+ years.
Need some googan help, what is a Skipjack in Alabama?
Ladyfish, also known as poor man's tarpon.Quote:

Oh thanks! I definitely know what those are. Viking Guy keeps offering/threatening to make me burgers out of them.
Funny you should say that, I was just talking to a guy the other day who grew up south Baldwin County. He said his granddad filleted every Ladyfish they caught and cooked them up with the rest of the fish. Said they were just as tasty as any other fish!!!Quote:

Yeah they are fun to catch! They're the only fish I've ever caught through an eye lol.
