Would be a sweet pompano jig!

Ok I showed my jig now I get to show my ignorance . What's a pompano besides a fish?

[smoothlures]

A very sought after saltwater fish you catch in the surf from the Gulf up to say Virginia. Delicious fish. They bring top dollar.
The top one below.



They're a sight feeder with very highly developed eyes for a fish, lots of guys use jigs for them in the Gulf (not so much the Atlantic). The profile is about like yours. A couple inches long, small saltwater hook, and trimmed close to the bend of the hook.

Dang that thing looks like an Okla. Drum Drum are not good !

The bottom one? That's a whiting. They are DELICIOUS. I prefer them over most saltwater species I catch. Tastes a lot like a crappie, slightly less firm meat but still great.
