Post by cantseeme47 »

well got out yesterday and did some ninja fishing in the grove.. first spot with in 5 minutes of putting my rod down the dam drag screams murder so i grab and start fighting its pulling great i thought it was a nice snook but behold it was a sting ray =( was thinking of keeping him for shark bait but decided to throw him back.... re rig and throw out again an about 15 minutes the drag start going out very slow so i let him take it and i set the hook turns out to be 12 in snapper then 15 minutes later i get a big hit and miss it =(.. then Miami's finest shows up coral gables police :ncool: the thing is he didnt kick us out but there was a catch where we were u couldnt park so he told us to move the car but nearest parking is god knows where so we had to leave :mad: so we drive around and find another spot within 5 minutes my rods goes off with a big hit but i missed it =( as soon as i miss it my other rod goes off and its a small jack about 13in.. then a realy big shark shows up couldnt tell was it was but i looked to be 8ft... then a rent a cop shows up and tells us we cant fish here its public land and theres no signs :scratch: but w.e didnt feel like causing problems so we left and ended the night

I feel your PAIN and can relate to every word,I have lived in DADE county all my life and seen it go from bad to just plain rediculous,there was a time you could fish and spend time with your shorebound family having a nice time and not be botherd by our city or counties finest. :( I tryed to fish under the first bridge on Rickenbacker after the toll on 3/17/11,METRO DADE advised me that I couldnt fish there,I asked where the sign was,because on my way down the walk way hadnt seen any,she got mad and took my I.D,I wasnt worried I did nothing wrong,but she had the badge and ticket book so I was not going to get on her bad side,Ive learned the hard way,you are better off coperating when asked to do so,Its not worth it to get a citation,if you can avoid it.YES SIR-YES MAAM will usualy do the trick,I kow its hard but the alternative SUCKS!!!!!!!!!Keep fishing and trying new spots,if asked to leave do so,eventualy you will find one and nobody will bother you,it may not be easy.TIGHT LINES!!!!! :happyfisherman:

Disregard below if you were in a different spot for the 2nd run in.

If the cop said you could fish there why would you leave for e rent a cop? :scratch: He's going to call the cops and you might just get the same one that told you it was ok to fish there.

He wrote that they were in a different spot when the RentACop came.

as far as why you should leave,use your best judgement,i have found out its better to try an make freands with the guards if you explain to them you are not doing any harm and wont leave a mess when you leave he might let you stay but if he calls P.D you will have to leave. Contrary to popular belief guards are just doing what they are told to do nothing is personal until you make it so,I know its hard but give it a shot, remember more flys with honey.THIGHT LINES :happyfisherman:
