Pompano & Water Temps

Given the things we've seen during this fall run I beleive we can now safely say Pompano can be caught in water Temps from 77 degrees all the way down to 54 degrees. However, you'll probably find the highest concentrations of Pompano in water temps in the mid 60's (65-69).

Another key lesson learned is distance from shore. Have always known they prefer cleaner water, however it looks like long casts will produce the most Pomps (75 yards plus). And that's both on low and high impact beaches. If you're fishing for Pomps most of the time you'll need a rod of 11' or more preferrably married to a conventional reel (Penn Squall, Penn 525, Abu Rockets, etc...)

Another note, I've yet to find any reviews of the new Penn Squall. From what I've heard however, I beleive its a streamlined, better quality product than the 525Mag.
