African Pompano

    The African pompano is not a pompano,
    but rather a member of the threadfin
    family.  The African pompano is found in
    the south Atlantic and Gulf coast.  It has
    a Pacific coast counterpart, which is the
    Pacific threadfin.  

The African pompano can grow as large as 35 pounds or more.  They
are very strong and they make powerful runs towards the bottom once
they are hooked. African pompano are very exciting to catch.  These fish
love to hang out near the reefs especially in Florida and the Bahamas.

Catching African Pompano

African Pompano love to hang out around reefs and wrecks.  Chumming
over these areas is very effective.  Try using small bait fish, squid or
prawn.  Small jigs will also work over the reefs and wrecks.  They will
strike your bait quickly and try to run into the wrecks.  Make sure you
have heavy enough tackle to pull these fish up towards the boat quickly
to avoid the snags.
