Water Temps 10-29-10 02:00

Ft. Pulaski, GA           76.3
Fernandina Beach       77.2
St. Augustine              77.5

Though the sun plays the biggest role in water temp, I'm guessing by the end of next week we'll see a significant drop in water temp; high 60's to low 70's because the ambient air temp is going to be in the low 70's for much of the week.  Lets see what happens.

If your hunting Pomps flat beaches are your best bet, gives them a place to feed.  Atlantic, Jax Beach, Crescent Beach, Ft. Matanzas.  I'm planning to meet up with a friend tomorrow and fish Atlantic beach on the outgoing tide.  Wanted to hit the incoming but family duties come first.  North winds 10-15 tomorrow on the outgoing I'm expecting the current to be ripping again.  If that happens I may hit the Jax Pier for awhile.  I might call it an early day and get ready for Saturday.  Saturdays forecast calls for very little wind, low 70's temps and sunny.   Saturday the plan is to hit it bright and early with the entire family.  Haven't decided if I'm gonig to hit Vilano or Ft. Matanzas yet.  Vilano would be a nice easy day being stationary; looking for whiting and drum.  Matanzas would be a hard working day moving south to north looking for Pomps.  Probably won't decide until I'm loading up to go.

There are several theories out there about what the Pomps are doing.  One thing for sure they are moving fast.  There are reports of catches as far south as Cocoa Beach already.  Some say it will be a short duration migration right through the area.  However, when I caught my first one in Fernandina there were still reports of catches as far north as Hatteras N.C. That's a lot of ground to cover.  If you haven't gotten off the couch yet might want to hurry.  Tight Lines!!!
