Inshore Fishing and Pompano

Pompano

Another fish plentiful now is pompano. Pompano are common along inshore waters and can be found along beaches, oyster banks and in grass beds. They sometimes can be found in deeper waters. Their movement is greatly influenced by the tides and water temperatures. Perhaps the most common way to catch pompano is by standing on the shore and casting out, but you can also catch pompano on an inshore charter. Reel Surprise Charters has seven inshore charter boats for you to choose from. We will help you target your efforts in troughs and drop offs around passes. Bait will get washed into these low lying areas. If the fish are in the area, during some stage of the tide, they will feed in these troughs. The basic premise is that tide and current moves bait into feeding zones and the fish show up to chow down.

It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Captain Randy, a true friend and cherished part of our community.

Randy Wayne Boggs, 61, of Baldwin County, AL, passed away on January 2, 2026. He was born August 28, 1964, in Pell City, AL, to the late Clayton Franklin and Georgia Edna Kent Boggs.

Randy was a man of many talents – a journeyman tool and die machinist, a registered nurse and a USCG licensed 100-ton captain. Randy never met a stranger and was always ready to help anyone in need; especially a boat captain that needed that certain part that Randy just happened to have. Of the many captains and deckhands that worked with or for Randy, he has been described as a best friend, a mentor, and a father-like figure. If you worked with Randy, you were not just another employee, you became a part of his family. Randy enjoyed sharing his love of the outdoors with others and always strived to create more outdoorsmen (women) in today’s world. Randy enjoyed sharing his knowledge and stories, especially about his trips to Africa.

Randy is survived by his wife, Susan, and their daughter, Elizabeth; his seven beloved Blue Lacy dogs; his siblings Jimmy Boggs, Joyce Runyans, Billy Boggs and Jane (Dennis) Simmons, and other extended family and friends.

On Friday, January 9, 2026, visitation will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at his residence. The burial is scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. on his farm located in Lowndes County, Alabama.

Mack Funeral Home in Robertsdale, AL is handling arrangements. Please donate to a charity of your choice instead of sending flowers.
