Went out for the two hours before dark on Saturday. Managed 3 pomps on the beach with about 3 more lost. Sunday fished 1pm-dark and landed two. Biggest 15.5". For the first hour we saw solo bonita's coming right up to the sand. I wish I knew how to target them. Both days we also massive Bonita schools 100 yards across just past the breakers.

Some folks keep a rod setup with those items and set it aside just for those occasions.

I definitely will bring a second rod next weekend. I also heard white jigs worked well. Do you fast retrieve them or bounce them off the bottom like fishing for pompano?
