Fishing reports are slow to odd. A couple from upstate report slow goings on catching fish. Small Virginia mullets are the only fish around. One fellow reports that a supper sized pompano was caught and released without no one taking a picture. Since no picture I am not going to report the weight of the pompano. Now! Unless someone caught a 5 and a half pound African Pompano then I will report that! Being said, I am just wondering if Pompanos, the ones common to Kure Beach, and the African Pompano are the same fish? In other words, are baby African Pompanos called "Kure Beach" Pompanos? They kind-a favor. More on this latter. Stay tuned! Gasoline news: $2.72 - 2.85 for regular.
