In Navarre Beach for the week

Skrimps and Carolina Rig or popping corks.

Used to be a nude beach down there. Met Dusty Rhodes at the Holiday Inn. Use live shrimp

For the beach just use silver spoons. For the sound use gold spoons, mirrodines, and gulp if you're desperate. Don't use popping corks in the surf, and if the sound is clear don't use them there either. If dirty I guess it is ok. Make sure to use a mono or flouro leader if you have braid.

some awfully big fish hit that first trough...

best close in fishing around....

too early for tarpon to be there though...

can catch specks and reds in sound..

Sand fleas are money. I've always caught them in the lip, where the water breaks. And they are usually in greater numbers where its mostly sand. (instead of areas with a lot of shells)

They sell "Gulf Rigs" Basically a tightline rig with a triangle weight at the bottom and multiple lines with circle hooks coming off of them. They have little floats on the secondary lines to keep everything off the bottom.

Really? Going to have to give it a shot next time I am out there. There's not much better than Pompano.

Meh, they are inside the bar. As scared of sharks as I am, and I am, I am ok with the inside of the bar stuff.
