Spanish are in

[tsubaki]

And what's the water temp?
You got them from the Gulf or Atlantic?

[phatdaddy]

I'm on the northern gulf coast, 100 miles east of pensacola. water temp hit the magic 68.5*
pompano should be next @ 70*

Thanks, thought I'd track them up the coast.
Anyway I'll keep an eye out, thought we had several weeks before they get here.
Like FERM said, filleted and fried.

Fried is good. I like grilled too. It is less trouble than fried.

nice Phat looks like light tackle fun

Just think, we usually b!tch and gripe over illegal immigrants be all of a sudden we are happy to see the spanish show up.



How far north do they go? A google search yielded some results for migration patterns on the east coast and said as far north as cape cod. I never hear any of the yanks on here talking about Spanish....its nornally us southern folk from NC on down to FL.

P.S. They'll be here by the 3rd week of April. About 1 - 2 weeks after I visit

sh!t willy, i was just thinking the same thing. a little 4 or 6 pound spinning outfit and you got yourself a fun afternoon.
i wish we got them up here.

ct, your right, a lot of fun on light tackle. a lot of guys will anchor up on a flat where it drops off to 6 to 8 ft and throw out chopped up minnows to get em started, then fly fish for them. they are pretty toothy so a good leader or small wire helps.
