August – Broward Boatless fishing Forecast

Posted on July 8, 2018 by BoatlessFisherman

Boatless fishing Forecast

Well August is a hot one and fishing is best early morning and evening, we are only a month from the start of the bait and mullet migrations. From here out on those times when storms come close the snapper will move in and fishing will pick up for sure after the storms.

King Mackerel, Cobia, Bonita , Spanish and CeroMackerel will be in better Numbers to the north of the county on our northern piers. Southeren piers will see more Snapper, Yellow jacks, and we will see a few kings and Bonita, the Spanish Mackerel will not be thick but we should see them starting to show up. Mangroves have been thick under the piers and should continue through this month. This month can also be a good month for Barracuda, Tarpon. Permit from the beaches and the southern piers will be the special treat of this month.

Tarpon how to fish and catch them and where- Fishing Tarpon

Posted on May 30, 2018 by BoatlessFisherman

Tarpon
” Silver Kings, Gummys ”
the rooffer wida Fish

Tarpon channel 2 bridge “Released”

Tarpon is a non edible fish from my knowledge but I am sure someone eats them. size anywhere from 40lbs to 200lbs and bigger they are a great fight and can be alot of fun when nothing else is hitting. I fish for them in a couple of places, the number one spot is the bridges in the Keys, I prefer Channel 2 or Channel 5 you can be guaranteed 10 to 50 hook-ups a night and sometimes even more, another spot is the beaches of South Florida in the spring early summer. ……………….

June – July Ideas and suggestions for Broward county

Posted on May 20, 2018 by BoatlessFisherman

Family Fishing Summertime, this is for those Moms and Dads that have plans or ideas of maybe taking the little one or ones fishing during summer break. It’s simple, what ever they catch will be great for them so don’t stress and use this simple technique. Cast out fresh pieces of shrimp fished on a double guppy rig ( 2 or more hooks on a rig spaced 8 to 10 inches with the weight on the bottom ) Aka chicken or pompano rig. I use a light rod small enough for them to handle with a 1 or 2 oz pyramid weight and number 6 or 8 circle hook size (this is a very small hook), fish this anywhere there is sand from the beach or pier area and also on the sandy sides of Jetties. Keep the line taught and just let them hold the rod and when the fish takes the bait it should hook itself. We should have an abundance of sand perch (mojarras), blue runners, small jacks, grunts, and croakers all will be a blast for kids under 12 and they should not have to wait to long for a bite. Don’t forget a rag or gloves, kids can be kind of funny about touching fish and they are much easier coached into it with a rag for that photo op.

Dave Wimberley with 70 to 80 pound Tarpon

So for the salty ones – Bait Bait Bait, pilchards should stack up pretty solid for June, goggle eyes should be here and scattered small schools of mullet.

Turning 2 hours into a most unforgetable moment

Posted on May 8, 2018 by BoatlessFisherman

So your a fisherman and you know what brought that giant smile to your face once ago and so you want to take your children, family or Friends fishing and pass along a feeling of contentment, joy and the pure clean adrenaline rush of getting in that fish. Oh how I remember and still experience that feeling every time I catch a fish or have caught one. Its incredible and empowering. I have successfully caught and can feed myself or my family from the ocean and that I skillfully managed that fish onto my hook and into my cooler as Bruce Willis say’s Yippee kiyaa.

I get these questions a lot and thought this would be the best way to answer this now and in the future with this article.

I Just need to catch something and would prefer it to be edible
where and how do I catch some fish for my Family and or them catch fish??????

OKie Dokie.

Location:
Well Freshwater is not the best around me, Its contaminated so I suggest Saltwater, but even then there is still environmental issues you should make yourself aware of, most coastline seafood has levels of not so good chemicals so check with Florida State for your area.

Beach is my choice, you will have an array of fish to go for using a simple rig and Combo, most will be pan fish ranging from 1/4 of a pound to 3 pounds and bigger sometimes.

What might you catch, Edibles Croakers, Whiting, Grunts, Jack crevale, Blue runner, Snapper, Hog Fish. Seasonal Edibles, Pompano, Bluefish, Flounder, Red Fish. Not so Edible Lizardfish, Ladyfish.Bonefish. Assorted Sting rays, I am sure a few others.

Medium Rod and Reel or a 9 foot to 12 foot Surf Rod and reel, fully lined with 15lb or 20lb test minimum, you need pompano rigs with Circle or Khale 4, 2, 1/0, I like to have all three, you can also make your own Chicken rig, drop loop rig or pompano rig what ever you want to call it, use pyramid weight you will hold bottom better, you will also need sand spikes for your rods.

How to make your RIG:
