Fished Saturday 5:00Am - 3:00PM. Got one of the few pomp keepers- 20" 5lb'er. Not many more caught that morning so I was feeling lucky. Stayed through the slow time and Mike and I were putting out live pilchards in the PM and every one brought in a good Mac.
Met Cookinman- Good to talk with you....
Went today from 4:00Am through 11:00Am. Slow times today current stale from the East and winds NNE gusting to 9knots. Water looked good but no pomps, a few Macs caught and a Hog Snapper under the pier. Staurday night a guy got a short Black Grouper also.
Good to see so many Boatless members out there, Rob good to see you as always.

Was there Sat. morning...nice talking with Tom, Pat, and Dave, sorry I had to run but the meter ran out and had to go on my way up North...saw plenty blues, jacks, decent size macks, and juvenile pomps come over the railing. How is it today?

Fished today

Connor got a 5-6lb AJ on a trolleyed gog.

Some short muttons came up, I got one that was just short at 15 inches on a gog chunk.

Ballyhoo and gogs for bait..bait was tough to get though, ballyhoo moved out and gogs were moving all over the place and not really bugging.

Some macks and bonita around too.

Sorry for the late post. Wife had to work last Friday and the kids were off school. So What to do but go fishing. Best thing of the day was catching 2 nice hogfish.

by angrylobster » Fri Dec 03, 2010 7:27 am

I had a marathon pier session from Sat to Tues night. Ended up with 6 keeper muttons two released, two keeper grovers, 1 yellow tail, 3 macs, 4 sharks, two rays, and tons of blues. Most of the fish were caught on ballyhoo and gogs on a fish finder rig. caught a couple of the macs on a plug. Also hooked a nice tarpon that jumped a few times, and freight trained me under the pier and broke off. fun times.

Late report. Went fishing with my favorite fishing buddy(my 4 yr old son) on Sunday. Didn't get to the pier until around 11am, a little too cold for an early start. Things started slow. NOthing but needlefish, filefish and reef fish picking at the bait. Finally spotted a piling with a bunch of fish around it. After slipping past the filefish hooked into a 18in GAG grouper. Nice fish but too small so back he went after pics. Then after that a big surprise. Up came mangrove snappers. I ended up with 3 and my son caught 4. I got the big one at 17 inches but he got the next biggest at 15 inches. The other 4 were between 12 and 13 inches. He also caught one of the biggest needle fish I have ever seen.

I've been hitting the beaches north of Palm Beach for the last few weeks, and they are just starting to show up. Are these different then the migratory fish that you guys catch off the piers down south?

by Lomax aka ZEBCO » Thu Dec 09, 2010 11:10 am

  Pretty much. We may have a school or 2 that wander thru, but the majority of the ones we'll have already came. I'll have people argue about it like always, but when spring comes and my coolers are full, they can't argue the facts. Now you just fish when it looks good. Never know when a school is wandering around

  How's fishing lately??? Cuz last Sunday ( 12/21 ) we're able to catch some pompano,small jack and mackerel !!!
  

Friday 12-24- Water color was good but current was a constant swell with little direction, chum bags were hangin and little action to be had. 2- blue fish caught at 5AM Bonita hooked and lost on piling 11AM, mac caught and landed in the 2-3lb range 9AM. black tip on the deck 12PM nothing needed to be landed with a net, lizard fish on a lure. Some bait around but hoos were scarce. Jigged in the surf to see if there were any drive by pomps but no hits, Keith had crabs in the surf and they just went out to look great on the bottom. Didn't see much else landed. In my 10 hours there not much to report. Beautiful day so that was the upside.

Anyways,.. Macks in the day, best in the eve,.. Bluefish at night, some nights very good, some slow. Mangoves here and there along with other reef creatures.

by rshields » Sat Jan 22, 2011 7:12 pm

Went out from 6Am through 1PM. Left before the temp took a plunge and the winds shifted into high gear. Current was rolling ESE with waves in the 1ft range. Bait-hoos- were everywhere, we chummed up a school that stayed all day and if you had a net you could haul 40gallons at a throw or more if you could lift it, gogs by the mid hut- you had to work but they were coming up steady. One Mac Spanish about 3lbs made it into Keith's "hurt locker"- got it on a bottom rod with a fresh hoo. Another angler, didn't get his name boxed 5 or 6 grovers from under the pier on live shrimp. Balloons in the current with livies’ swimming under, bottom rigs with hoos, crabs and pinfish North and South. Poppers looking for a jack, runner or a lost king- yo zuri's, gotchas and ghosts, crappie jigs and free lining hoos, spoons, diamonds and bucks. Guess we put our best effort but the fish weren't into it. We had em surrounded but....Slow day in the Neighborho

by rshields » Mon Feb 07, 2011 7:42 pm

Mike caught a keeper spanish mac in the surf on a crappie jig yesterday... that's about it

A Report:

Mon - Jacks, Porgys, Margates, Sharks, a keeper Pompano

I still have to look at the pics to know if they were Bulls, But those that saw it said so.

Fishing is Hit and miss right now and I expect it to change over night and the fishing will be on from there, I just don't know what night.

Went yesturday for about an hour and a half, clear water and no wind was the conditions. 5:45-7:30 PM

Fished half way down by the cutting station. Not much action going on and i resorted to seeing how many grunts I could catch on a sakiki rig. Nice night outside however.

by gruntking » Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:22 pm Dania

by Jordan » Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:08 am

Went out today for about 2 hours, nothing going on at all but a pod of gogs that wouldnt bug at all. Heard from a guy he got some bluefish, 4 gummies and he said he saw someone pull in about a 5ft tip the night before. -Connor

by Miamipescador » Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:10 am

Damn seems like the fishing has been very slow for the most part due to these cold fronts.
Cant wait till the water warms up!

went last night and stayed for an hour and a half. Had two bottom rods one with a butterflied grunt another with a whole squid for most of the night. Worked silversides under the pier and nothing. Tried to get some bait but that didnt work out either.

by crashmister » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:38 am

Was out about 5:30 AM. Jack's were cheap at first light. then died off. saw a couple short pomps. FF got a Mac. Left about 9. Lot's of wind out of the SW. OK water color.

by bluemack » Tue Mar 01, 2011 7:39 pm Dania

Fished dania today from 0730-1100h. Calm conditions sw wind, no bait, no fish either, pomps and blues didnt show up, one guy caught a parrot fish and thats about it...

by DMJ » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:30 am

Chill guys, perfect conditions today with wind and current for what your thinking! I was there from 10am till dark, couple small macs,a few small jacks, one keeper pompano. We did locate some greenies and the gogs were there. I'm thinking to our south may be the spot. Heading to Dania to get tangled and mangled!

by gatorkong » Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:21 pm

A late report. My favorite fishing buddy (my 5 year old) and I got to the pier around 9AM last Saturday. Very little wind and crystal clear water. Thought it did not look good but fishing with my son is better than most anything else. We always check the water past the first hut for bait. Didn't see any bait but barracudas everywhere. Then on closer inspection snook schooling all around and croakers circling near the snook. Figured you have to fish where there is fish. Well ended up with 3 croakers, 3 baracudas and a couple nice snook brought to the deck. See attached pics for one of them. I did not measure because I did not want to keep them out of the water too long. From there we went down near the T. Things were slow but we ended up catching 4 lookdowns(moonies), 2 margates and a nice parrot fish. AAlso hooked a bigger snook. Fought it for about 40 seconds and then it frayed my line and that was it. Good fight and lots of fun. So on the way out we stopped to see if we could get some more croakers. Ended up catching 6 more baracuda. My son caught 4 of them see the pics for one of his. I lost a 3 foot barracuda after about a 3 second run.
I did have a googan moment and dropped my phone in the water when I called Rob to check regs on those croakers. Other than that it was a great day to be on the pier.

Was out this am from 5:40 until 8:00. Shoulda stayed in bed

by WetWillie » Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:56 pm Dania

Not quite yet, but it has to be soon. We're all drooling about it. The fall run was only rated fair, with a lot of juvenile sized pomps caught and released. We're anticipating the spring run to be large pomps, probably on steroids! Just watch the reports! They'll be getting hotter any minute now.

crashmister » Sat Mar 05, 2011 4:43 pm

Head up tomorrow Scotty.

by caprifisher » Mon Mar 07, 2011 7:31 pm Dania

Went last saturday from 3pm to 8 pm to the pier .Set up at first half of the pier with hopes of some pompano action .Nada . Only got one black margate on live fleas .Heard of someone catching one pomp at the T of all places . No baitfish around .

by bibijawa » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:38 am

I was out there this afternoon from 4-6pm. I caught a few short pomps, saw a couple keepers caught. Caught a jack and a bluefish

by crashmister » Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:04 pm

Fun day! I lost a second Pomp about the same size as the first. No clue if it hit the flea or the shrimp, but I was wrapped around 4 other guy's and by the time we got that cleared it was around the piling. I couldn't reach the honey hole with my 8' rod. Just not enough ompf. I mentioned to Tommy that my next purchase would be a surf rod for the pier. Next thing I know, Tommy come's walking up with a surf combo and gives it to me. "Thank's for all your help, your back in the game". Besides being completely blown away, the first fish on it was Dino pomp. Thanks again Tommy!!!

Fished from about 7am to 1pm when some rain came in. The bite was crazy, caught lots of blue fish, some pomps, and jacks. Had a great time!!!

Sunday fishing report - Anglins Pier
I went to the pier about 2am and talked for a while with tommy, we shared a good expresso while people were out in the rain and wind shrimping, LOTS of nice shrimps, got 5 or 6 from tommy and ate them raw, sweet early am breakfast!
Started fishing about 4:30, wind laid down almost completely, only saw a nice snook on a live shrimp and one blue caught until sunrise.
Pompanos came out as thick as they could, got a double right away ( a nice 16" and a 14"), then proceed to lose a big one on a tangle and got another one right after together with a nice blue on my other rod who sat on the north side undisturbed (on the south side there were probably 200 rods or so).
Then another double with a pomp and a blue, but the pomp was not on my rig so gave it to the rig owner who didn't even noticed he was on....
Everyone else was catching them, some BIG fatties in the 18"-19" range too. Bite lasted until 9am or so, then it slowed down considerably.
Most of the guys left at lunch time, I stayed since had nothing better to do than fishing on a perfect conditions day and it paid back.
A couple of big squalls came in between 1 and 2 pm and after that the bite was on again.
Lots of blues past of the hut on both sides (mostly south), some scattered pomps for an hour or so and then they went thick again. I left at 6pm with my limit of nice pomps (smaller was 13") and 3 blues, black guy named Ben (met him at deerfield some times a while ago) came around 3pm and limited out on a jig in about 15 minutes, all nice fish, impressive skills.
Was cool to see all the googans and tourists having a blast catching fish, best thing was that everyone was pretty cool and even the worst tangles ended up ok with some patience. Didn't have my camera with me otherwise I would have shot a complete googan fishing movie!!!!
