FL. Beach fishing Report From Brother In-Law Don.-------4/10/24 The gulf was calm enough to fish with artificials early this morning so I started fishing with a night glow DOA shrimp and caught a small flounder.. I was picking up more seaweed than I wanted so I set up a Texas rig with a ring worm and caught another flounder but it wasnt big enough either. I didn't catch any more flounder with artificials and it got too windy later in the morning to useartificials so I started deadsticking for pompano. All I was catching were whiting using a #8 circle hook and sand flea flavored fish bites. I started keeping the whiting to use for bait but I caught so many of them that I wound up filleting them and will have skinless boneless whiting fillets for dinner tomorrow.

I target those all the time. Good eating. Had some last Friday.
Super! Wish I was eating them with you.
Funny. The very thought of someone else catching, filleting and cooking up the fish for me. That would be so nice!
Even if I didnβt catch any.
I'm hoping we get on some Roundheads in Beaufort in 2 weeks.

OK, what are round heads?

They're called Kingfish or Whiting, we call them Roundheads in NC and Va. Kinda like Bunker, Pogies, menhaden and alewife, every place has a different name for stuff.
We're headed for Morehead City for Melissa's birthday on the 28th. Got a bucket of sandfleas and shrimp. Mainly going for Black drum and Sheepshead, but we'll take some Roundheads. When we get back it'll be White perch season. Damn good thing, I just cooked up the last bag of perch and made the last of my crab meat into crab cakes. If the wind is down, we're going to head out for some Bonito since they right off the beach.
A good day of catchin & eatinππ
