Questions for the Mullet Run:
What is the typical wind speed and/or wave height or general conditions when most people pack up and have more success at a pier?
Also, what tackle changes do I make going from beach to pier? Heavier sinkers, round to pyramind (fishfinder rig)? 12' to 10' rod?
p.s. I am not trying to overcrowd any piers. Just getting prepared as I would like to not have any gear issues and finally share some pictures of nice catches! Please pm me if preferred.

Thanks for the tips.
Stopped by the beach just now as I was nearby for lunch. It was flat as could be except for one very good-looking woman.
No birds, bait or top water ripples.

No bait that I could see on SoBe today. The water wasn't too churned up as the wind was W NW this am. Around 9 it started to come out of the NE and the waves were picking up. Went 0 for 2 on snook with the hand line. One of the snook was a 40+ in and I pulled the hook on it dragging it out of the surf. Thank goodness the weather is starting to change for the better!

Since bait is so easy to get right now, I grabbed a few more and went to mid beach for high tide. Using the hand line I got a few jacks from 5-10 lbs and a decent snook. Get out there during this NE blow and you'll be rewarded. Notice the yo-yo around my wrist. Can't wait to get a poon on the yo-yo!Poseidon10/31 wrote:No bait that I could see on SoBe today.

Out last night, nothing surfside but surfers. Worked some bridges and got some action but couldn't land a snook.
Before sunrise, nothing off the beach again but tons of mullet and good size jacks slapping them up against both sides of the intercoastal. Caught a couple and sent a live finger mullet towards a snook but he didn't bite.

Anglins Pier and I am sure the others did the same or better
Thursday morning crap loads of anchovies up and down the trough as far as I could see right in the wash up, a few small pods of mullet all heading slowly south. Not much happening as for fishing a few jacks and a couple of Mackerel and Snakes "Baby Kings" left at 9am and then the macks came in for a little while 1lb to 3lbders with a 4 or so thrown in, also a lot of undersize Muttons. So So day of fishing
Friday
Water looked great, fish did not want to stick around long in and out fast, Spanish Macks, Snakes, alot of jacks, Ladyfish and about 5 keeper Pomps the entire was in and out from my understanding again so so day of fishing so you caught fish but it was not a wow day.
It is better now and expect it to continue`for the next few days, Mullet pods are still moving pass daily they are small pods but a few every morning and through the day and I expect to see more over the weekend. Icw has been top off with mullet on days I have checked early morning.

Fished south Boca beach from 6:30am till 9:30am with no success. One guy caught a stingray with dead pilchard. That was the story of the day. No live bait showed up...just paddle boarders.

boynton beach inlet, blue runners all over the place, no bait.
huge snappers under the jettys, if you can get your bait to them before the trash fish get to them.

Didn't see any bait this afternoon on Miami's mid beach but the snook were there. Lost a fish on the hand line that was easily 40+. I cursed for a good 15 minutes straight after losing that pig. Stupid Yo-yo.

Got out to Anglins this morning with my brother... i personally caught 3 mackerel, 2 being spanish, one a King, close to 19 inches. Everything went back, they were very deep, all caught on crappie jigs! My brother caught another keeper mack that was released as well. You had to work HARD for hits today, very very slow! Was good to see a lot of familiar website faces!

Fished Lloyd Park and the jetty today. Small, scattered pods of mullet in the creek. Netted a dozen fingers and two 12 inchers. Live-lined, bottom rigs cut and live...nuthin'. One houndfish to show for all the effort. Maybe next week.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death, It's much more important than that.

Nothing about nothing. Fished the beach and a few bridges on the ICW Friday morning and night and Saturday morning and night. Some sights and action but nothing to blow up anyone's skirt.

Thursday and Friday were insane... Jack, snook, blues, some monsters that justripped line and made my mornings! Ft Lauderdale beach was on fire. Yesterday and today, just one or two random shark hits and a pig snook that took a live mullet 14" I netted in the canal... Spit it just as fast as she snatched it.

No bait, but jacks, pompano, and bluefish on Miami Beach (Sobe- mid beach). Sight casted a 30" trumpet fish on a finger mullet. That was a cool looking fish for sure, not sure exactly what species it was but closely resembled a trumpet fish.
