No never give up. Out there this morning at 6:45am with about a dozen sand fleas. 1st catch was a 18" at 7:10, then two 15" ers and last last was another 18" on my last sand flea at 8:30. All caught in the 1st cut in 2-3 ft.water. water very calm and clear. No seaweed.
Nice bite this morning between 7:30 -9:30. Total 8 reds 5 keepers. All on sand fleas which were difficult to find last night. Added to the catch are 2 whiting caught on ghost shrimp.
VERY nice fish (and fishin partner ;-)
Y'all have a GREAT looking spot for calm water fishing.
Plenty of relief on the bottom between those sandbars!
That is the type of structure to look for along the beach.
And you have been using the right bait.
Been here since Saturday and we've caught 2 small sharks and 2 hardheaded. Beach where we are seems really flat for a long ways out. We have used cut bait and ghost shrimp. Guy next to us caught a pomp yesterday. I just don't know where to put my bait. So far pretty disappointed. Plus hotter than two blue blazes.

Thanks, yeah been going back to the same spot for 5 days now and only been shut out once. Yeah nice deep cuts before the 1st sandbar and chanels nearby. My only problem is the sand fleas are difficult to find.I spent 3 hrs last night and found only 15, and 4 of those are the pinching ones. Does anyone know where I could find lots of sand fleas?
Try to avoid areas that have been walked on recently.
Sandfleas don't appreciate being trampled by beach walkers ;-)
I caught several today that I dislodged while slurping ghost shrimp. I just watched them bury up in the sand and grabbed them before the next wave came through and stirred up the sand. They were waaaaay off the beach. LATE this evening I finally saw some in groups with their antennas stuck out of the water in the edge of the surf and was able to catch several. I also discovered that hardhead catfish and hard tails will eat sand fleas. I'm hoping they will work tonight or in the morning for something more desirable.
My brother in law and I caught our limit of pompano this morning. Looking to hook up with something bigger if anyone has any tips? We are using the fish bites shrimp flavor on a pompano rig. Thinking about getting some live bait for this evening. Is it worth the hike to go to dixey bar?
Yes it is. It is a walk. Just remember dont park inside the gate otherwise you will be locked in. Use both live shrimp and croaker if they have them available. The pines has croaker.
