The first "RED" and "POMP" of vacation..
Posted: July 2nd, 2007, 3:46 pm
First day at Mexico Beach and my wife asked to hang close to the house.
Thats ok- we have a week and the sister in law and her husband are coming tonight...
So I went surf fishing between storms.
I hooked my first red about 12....
He fought well and stripped a lot of drag.... then he hit the beach...

It did fight like the dickens....
Then caught my first pompano on an sand flea just outside the breakers
He stripped a lot of drag.... and finally gave up the fight in the bereakers just before a storm hit....

Ok so they were a Bullnose ray and a black drum- but I was steps from the house and it was still fun...
Tomorrow I'm going real fishing
