Here's the result of today's fishing

by Spear'em! » Tue Feb 17, 2009 2:23 am Dania

Saw the wind was blowing today and saw the reports of some pompano being caught at Anglin's so i headed to the beach to day to give it a shot. I got to my normal spot and the fleas were hard to come by but I got couple dozen and started fishing. the tide was dropping fast and with no bites I headed up to the pier around 5;45pm.
A bunch of people were out fishing but I found a spot just outside of the breakers next to Tony (not sure if he visits this forum but a super nice guy) and gave it a shot. i fished till about 7:15pm with no hits. A guy inside of us hooked up but after weaving thru a few lines his line broke or was burned off by another line.
Heard a few macks were being caught on the T but didn't make the walk.
Thats it for now.

I was at Anglin's today from 15:30-17:30. I'd heard about some macks coming up earlier, but didn't see any action at all. Water had some color, choppy surf, winds SSE 15 -20 MPH. Ballyhoos everywhere, so I loaded up on them. Spent my time at the 2nd hut.
Who knows, with this wind, maybe the morning will be good for pomps.
And da-da-dats all folks.

there needs to be more reports a input on this thread nobody

I went out this morning with marcus. Together we caught 95 gogs in a little over 3 hours. Bonito were chasing our gogs to the pier. Jacks big ones were crashing the ballyhoo just beyond casting distance. The wind was perfect. I had to leave and pick my rod up at biscayne rods. And stopped at my favorite tackle shop Anglers B&T to borrow one of Ricks beautiful Crowders. Did you know they are made with Calstar blanks? Got my Saltist spooled with some tritanium. Also the man dropped back my handle to give me more elbow greese. Your a PIM P man!

little brother fished all day
ballyhoo thick at the tee
he lost a nice mack on the flip and saw only a couple others landed along with 2 bonita in the morning
schools of glass minnows in the surf, and he saw one guy catch a 33inch snook on shrimp on a jighead in the shallows
he only saw one pomp come over the rail

Stopped by last night and the fishing was slow. A few boneheads caught is what I heard. Maybe with this wind things will pick up.

Hoser got a nice Pomp after you left Janet, also a 21 inch Mutton came up and some giant Croakers they were a 1lb maybe 1 1/2, Undersize Snook a couple of Macks and Jacks, short Flounder and Sand Perch Cookinman

It was not a great day but fish were caught mostly in the afternoon and evening.

Fished from 0645 - 1030, nothing other than bait. Didn't see anything else come up other than an undersized yellowtail. Winds from the South, slow at first, but picking up as we left. water was a bit choppy, clear.

Fished today from 10:00 to 2:00. Lots and lots of Pompano caught. Several people had there limit of six fish. A few fish were caught on fleas however most were caught on jigs. Doc goofy jigs were working well. The fish were hanging very close to the pier.
Most were caught from the first hut east to the first light pole. One thing that was very important today was the size of the jigs. You had to use really small jigs in either white or yellow. I saw several pompano caught on gog bugs also.
I also noticed that the guys who were catching the most were tipping there jigs with little pieces of shrimp. That seems to work better then just a plain jig.
Even though there were lots of pompano around, you did have to work for them. Just about any time you looked down at the bottom you could see pompano flashing all around.
I got there around 10:00 am and over heard several people say that they starting chewing at sun rise, normally pompano will stop feeding around 8:00 or 9:00 am but today they were feeding well into the afternoon.
Hopefully this is a sight of what is to be a great spring run. I am sure they will bite again in the morning for anyone who has a chance to get out there. Good luck to all.

OK, just called the pier - wind died - Dead calm and clear - no pomps this AM - so I am NOT leaving work sick....lol

by one more cast » Tue Mar 10, 2009 7:27 pm

correct....no pomps this AM. Fished 6am to 10am.....gogs around and scattered hoo's. Saw a few big macks out of reach sky thru some bait pods. By 8am wind was dead, no current and clean water.....Will be off the charts this weekend I am sure, like Cookin I can't get out either.

Wednesday morning (10:30-11:45), a buddy of mine invited to join him at the pier with his visiting father.
I didn't have the heart to tell him it was a full moon and the bite would be dead during the day and to wait until the evening.

Calm winds, super clear water. Not one bite from anyone while I was there. I did manage to see plenty of people hook into Rockfish.

by BoatlessFisherman » Fri Mar 13, 2009 6:33 pm

Well let me say this

I think we may see Shrimp this weekend and tonight it may start heavy, from what i understand the current is heading north and there is good color to the water and I know that this past week they did good in Key Biscayne and what I saw last sunday night was ridiculous as in numbers of shrimp there was alot.

The water is warming after this week so the Pomps should start moving better, still waiting on the macks in numbers they seem to be MIA with a few showing up every day.

A few Muttons were caught today and undersize Yellowtails, saw a couple of nice tails yesterday, big sand perch have also been around and boocoo Gogs and Hoos early morning and some in the evenings.

It is still hit and miss but that is about to change I think.

by BoatlessFisherman » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:28 pm

Ok Afternoon report
I just checked coolers and saw
Spanish Macks
a Cero Mack
Pompanos
a Mutton Snapper
Jacks
Blue Runners
Big Sand Perchs

About 25 to 30 fish total in 7 or 8 coolers

Bait ==== Gogs, Bally hoo, Greenies, Sardines

Water looks great may be some Pompano this evening

Thanks Tom, you're the man.

Just this week Striper, due to the Festival

Just saw triple pomps come up

by Spear'em! » Sun Mar 15, 2009 2:12 pm Dania

Hopefully the wind will keep blowing for ya. We've been picking at the pomps in the general area all week. one day getting a few or a limit and the next day nothing. Caught a couple nice bluefish also. I'll be stopping by the peir this afternoon. I'll post a report later.

Yes we finally went last night. I learned a lot because I am the amateur and linda is the one who has fished all her life...lol...a certain really nice person showed me how to tie a uni-knot lol....

Anyway, we caught a bunch of fish...one 16 inch pompano...a huge blue....quite a number of jacks...and i think the other fish were called chubs or something like that...

and linda caught this huge puffer fish...it was so funny...i have never seen one so big...
