One News Years' eve that I will never forget, We were in our thirties, pompano fishing at night, this was before the net ban. We were in the ocean, close to a public beach. We each had a pompano in our hands, picking them from the net when the people on the beach came to life and fireworks were being sent up. That told us that it was midnight. I told my husband that we were starting the new year with gold in our hands. Pompano has a gold color and they are the most expensive fish that we catch.
