Pompano Blitz
Sunday was the most epic day I have ever had pompano fishing
didn't get there until noon, last 2 hours of the rising tide We were the only ones on the beach for miles either way used a new bait called FishGun not sure if that was the cause or the fish were just there anyway brought these home and 4 stud whiting   all were out of the same class, between 12- 14 inches, no real giants, just perfect eating size

 We will be fishing sooooooon! Those whiting we call croakers. Whiting here is silver hake. In the 70s-early 80s we used to catch 5 gallon buckets of them at night on the beach in December. Russian draggers came and scooped them up...all but a memory in NJ...

HAHA I think we covered this topic once before hahahaha we're old...hahahaha
we have "Northern Kingfish" that are similar to croaker but have dark bands. They are all in the drum (croaker) family with Redfish (red drum), Black drum (channel Bass), Weakfish/Seatrout, California White Seabass

Man I miss our Whiting.... Used to put 10-20 of them in my smoker. 18-24 hours later we had the best smoked whiting. Wet smoked they would last a week to 2 weeks with no refrigeration... They never lasted more than a few days before they were gone.... every one eaten.
Disgusting how the draggers absolutely destroyed an entire fishery, while our government just sat on their a$$es and did nothing.
