Got the first Pomp almost two weeks ago on 10/9 in Fernandina. Daytime water temp then was about 77.5 degrees. Current daytime water temp now is about 76.8 degrees. That's only a .7 degree cooler difference.
I suspect the Pomps are not hard charging back to Florida but taking a very leisurely stroll because of the very slow drop in water temps over that time. What does that mean for anyone chasing them? Get as far north as you can. Don't expect it to be easy to find them, but the ones you do find should be in the area for a while.
They are still being caught in very good numbers in the Carolinas. Additionally the Bull Reds have shown up from Hatteras Island NC to Jekyll Island, GA. If you want to go after them get north and throw some fish heads (whiting, mullet, etc) or crab halves on a 6/0 or bigger hook.
