Yesterday was slow. A few Macks and 1 Pomp. Night time has been getting more Bluefish than there has been lately. Plenty of bait.
Winds start later today thru tomorrow, then another front. Take advantage of the winds between the fronts. Soon enough they will be paying off.

Just wanted to give all you nice Broward pompano fisherman something to look forward to since you havent seen a pompano in several weeks or even several months for some of you.
We have been fishing at least three times a week, every week for the past month and a half up north of Jupiter and the pompano fishing has been and still is very solid. Fished the beach again this morning and on the one section of beach I fished on, 9 out of the 12 guys fishing there, limited out within an hour to two. I even watched one guy jigging limit out in about 30 minutes.
Most days bait is working well (shrimp, sand fleas, clams) and jigs are also working well. Some days all you need to do is jig for your limit.
Hopefully alot of those fish will start moving south soon or you can take a ride up and enjoy some fresh pompano dinner very soon.
Good luck to all.

This report is great but gives us nothing to look forward to . The spring fish are migrating north not south .

Late report. Monday, March 1st. Crashmister voluteered to show me how to freeline shrimp for snook. Met up with him, Rebel and another guy about 8pm. Conditions were good at first but in about an hour the wind really kicked up and we called it quits. They caught one small snook, lost another and I caught a ray which, I think it was Rebel helped me get unwrapped from the pilings. Nice to meet you guys, thanks for the info........next time.
Only a handful of people on the pier, nobody catching anything. The "T" was almost empty. Pier lights off now.

Went 2/3 on snook today. Also caught 4 good size croakers around 15-17in each. thought I had a pomp on and when I went to flip it, I realized it was a small jack. Anyway I caught all the fish on shrimp with my new plasma 8-15lb that I got for $80 this past thursday.
Heres the pics.

Lines in the water around 5:30am to around 10-10:30am
Fishing primarily a chicken rig with fleas although I did jig a bit with a Doc's Goofy and later with a Gog Bug. I caught a puffer (on the chicken rig)...that was it for me lol
I saw several sand perch come over the rail early, one BIG sand perch. Some Gog's, 1/2 dozen, maybe 8 & the guy was working them hard too, far and few in between. A few hoos to those fishing for them.
I was right next to the middle hut on the east side of it, pretty much everybody was at the middle hut or west of it.
Nobody at the T at first, a couple guys moved down there around 7:30 or so but it didn't look like they were doing any better.
Solid SE wind, slight current heading north, the water had some color to it...wish I had Thursday or Friday off to have another go at it.

They might be just starting to run, but what I hear from the locals the best is still to come in the upcoming weeks. There were about 10 caught today though.

I went today. I caught nothing. I left after I saw there was no let up in the rain. Nothing was caught while I was there.
by fixed80 » Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:07 pm

Went to the pier yesterday afternoon at 1:30pm after calling to see if the se wind had anything biting. I was told "they are getting pompano, bluefish and macs. I got in my van, picked up 3 fishing friends 'who left work early, based on the same report they got when they called". We spent 28 dollars to get on the pier, 6 bucks for a bag of frozen fleas, only to find out the the poms, blues and macs were caught at 7 - 9am in the morning. Whe gave up at 6pm without a bite on fleas, cut bait and artificials. Why is it so hard to give an accurate fishing report to hard-working people. Does the pier need the money that bad that they tell the guys to lie, just to get their new patio built. How about putting in a wheechair accessible bathroom. Do the owners of the pier know they are breaking a FEDERAL LAW?
On a brigter note, as I was leaving, someone ran past us with a drop net, headed towards the T. I went out to see a guy who walked on the pier 15 minutes earlier land a monster Cobia on a ballyhoo plug he put out on the bottom. Congrats to him on a 42-48 inch beauty.

Rob - I was feeling a bit guilty sleeping in today...not anymore. I woke up really early (around 4am) and heard the wind just howling, went back to bed. Sounds like I didn't miss much. But THANK YOU for the report!

I went twice in the last two weeks to TRY to get some sand fleas. Did not see any and the sand seemed hard packed. This was between Sheridan St and Dania Bch Blvd.

Went fishing with my parents and met my buddies there GTN!!! and Mr. ARTI. I was trying my dads way of fishing (cast, put the rod done and wait)and caught one snook like that(one in the pic).The second one my friend(Mr. ARTI aka Homie)had hooked one their and he had called me down and brought my shrimp and hooked up in 5 min. The local pomp fisherman were their but between all maybe 10 were caught. And a few macs at the T so as hairing and hoos at the T.

For pomps use fleas but dont know if they are getting the fleas on the beach. About a week or so they caught a couple of pomps but haven't been out since then. My dad went out yesterday but didn't get anything or see anything.

I caught 1 pomp and saw a few more caught. Very, very slow..a few bonefish came up too...
I also saw a number of decent sized bluefish caught on bottom with bait. Also saw Ricky lose a really nice mac waiting for the net.
As I was prepping to leave, Tim caught a decent sized crevalle at the tee.
Finally water conditions are looking fishy. Now, just gotta convince the fish of that....
Till next time.
PS - good to finally meet you in person WCF.
Got my revenge in the afternoon with another nice mack on the same kroc spoon
pretty decent bite all day long with mixed pomps and good size whiting in the morning, bluefish blitz all day long and some scattered macks most of them on the good size, saw keith bring in a massive 7ft lemon shark on a bottomed live ballyhoo, plenty of bait, big herings, hoos and some spanish sardines (good to see them), steady southeast wind all day, perfect greenish water color, if it stays like that it's goin' to be good fishing for a while, obviously that happens 5 days before I'm leaving to italy for easter
Had a blast catching blues on 10lbs test for the most part of the day, if you love fishing light tackle and lures you can't ask for more

Fished from about 9 a.m. till almost 2 p.m. Wind was out of the southwest, gusting to about 15 to 18. That made the water lay down from the past few days and it cleared up considerably. The whole time, I saw nothing come over the rail, except one houndie I managed on a float and strip. And that was just to have something to do. Zero mac activity and pomp activity. Don't know if they got any blues at night. Met IndianaBrandon who's down here on vaca and he was messin' with some small cudas. He got their attention, had one hit and chew his artificial, but he got spit. He's got about four more days to keep at it, till it's time to head back to the cold country. Good luck, dude! There were hoos all over the south side, from the Tee, almost to the beach, but they weren't interested in anything I threw at them. Real skitterish. Gonna wait a few days before I try it again. Anybody going out, good luck to ya. Out.

Nice school of tarpon showed up. No bites.
School of blues = 15 minutes of mayhem. I got 1.
Sharks were back. Hooked three. Got a bull to the pier and cut him off.
A few pompano here and there.
Cobes were a no show. Cobe fishermen were in full force and effect.
by levosgien » Sat Mar 27, 2010 3:11 pm
Went today 8am-10:30am. Nothing but bait fish, didn't see anyone catch anything. Water was clear and wind was weak. Schools of bait including ballyhoo, maybe others had better luck later.

Got home at about 2:30AM and was going to get my stuff together and head out, only to find out my laptop was stolen on the plane. Some people!
Anyway, of course I miss an epic day of pomps and macks!
Is the Boatlessfishing wizard still making predictions like he used to? Whens the next epic day supposed to be Tommy? I HAVE ALL WEEK!!!
I would say right now until 8 am the wind going to go sw at some time later this morning, this does not mean they will shut down, Just makes the odds not so strong.
Pack your gear up and head out now, just saw a 5 lbder Pomp come up they are also getting a few shrimp. Croakers, Spinners, Blues
Won't see another good wind until later in the week

Went out this morning from 0515-0930. Fished from just west of the hut. There were a few pomps coming up sporadically until 0730, when the bite seemed to take off. I had no bites at all until 0745. Caught my first pomp (for the day) @ 0745, and by 0930 I was packing up to go with my limit. There were a fair number of people that limited out by then also, but most stayed fishing. I had to head back to work. The wind was VERY strong mostly S, abit SSE until 0900 when it died down. Started raining @ around 0645 didn't stop the whole time I was there. Came down in a deluge for a good part of the time. I went home squeaking everywhere. Soaked from head to foot. And that's with a Froggy rain jacket on. Went right through.
Saw a couple of blues come up, 1 croaker and the rest were pomps.
2 pomps @ 14 1/2"
2 pomps @ 14" (all 4 nice fatties)
and 2 @ 12.5""
That's it all. Have a great day.
My only complaints were the fact that there were ALOT of people using 2 pompano rods + they were also jigging while there rods were in the water, and I spent almost an hour trying to get my line untangled from the guys who decided my spot was the "perfect" pomp spot and sat their rods up right on top of mine (they were also fishing 2 rods and spent all their time fishing the other rod while I was untangling their mess from my line ).
My only consolation (other than the 6 pomps ) was that the weather made sure only the hard core fishermen were out there. If we would have had the usual googan pomp parade, there would have been mayhem.
