Lower 70's before the skipjack/ladyfish move in. They're still around after that but the ladys make it a pain to fish for them IMO

I'd have to say upper 60s.
Coincidentally, this spring has had rather cool water temps, and the best pompano bite I've seen in 40+ years.

Ladyfish, also known as poor man's tarpon.

People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

Funny you should say that, I was just talking to a guy the other day who grew up south Baldwin County. He said his granddad filleted every Ladyfish they caught and cooked them up with the rest of the fish. Said they were just as tasty as any other fish!!! Originally Posted by Nimakdm

Burgers would be a good use for them, or fish cakes. Fun to catch, not my idea of a good eating fish, much better fish to eat.
