A little surf fishing today

[flatbutton]

Hit the incoming tide this afternoon while the old lady was out shopping. Water was a little rough, but fishable. This was the maiden voyage on the sand for the new to me Toyota taco that I got last month. It did just fine as long as I ran it in 4 lo to disable the traction control. My old ford ranger didn't have any of that newfangled crap! Anyways, caught a bunch of small bluefish and one small pompano. Heading back out there tomorrow, hopefully the surf will lay down some this evening. Here's a few pics.

What kind of fish are normally around in the fall?

This time of the year in my neck of the woods, It's Red drum, Flounder, Speckled trout, Gray trout, and the list goes on. Right now, this is the best fishing of the whole season. After Thanksgiving, I'll stop fishing and start detecting. I'll hunt the beach on Saturdays and the woods on Sundays.

Nice variety of fish, and some very tasty ones...

Is the one photo a pompano?

I once got a signal on my BH at La Jolla shores in wet sand. Turned out to be a pocket of bloodworms. Lots of iron in the blood, I guess. The surf fish lov'em.
