Anglins Pier Fishing Reports 2011 "ONLY REPORTS"

[Miamipescador]

I would guess morays wouldnt be to rare since there is a reef right after the first hut, and there are many rocks down there. Heck people have been limiting out on spinys.

If you do go out, try fishing before the first hut and casting straight out. Me and a buddy had the best luck on the pier yesterday from there, but conditions can change.

[fishnfool73]

Went this morning and conditions changed for the worse. A few small mackeral and runners. No pompano no bluefish and no lobsters to be caught.

[Cookinman]

Chris - Things look like SW to W through Sat night - Hopefully Sunday we get NE. Beginning of next week looks promising.

Should've went where I said.

[fishnfool73]

Had the gf and her dog couldn't go there not dog friendly. Gf caught her first two mackeral and is hooked.

[Zebco]

It'll get better her soon enough.

Today was not too bad... started around 7:00 am and the weather cooperated til around 1:30. Caught 10 Spanish macks, one cero, one robin fish, a silver perch, and a black fin. After that not much else, with the exception of ballyhoo that were out in force. I plan to be out Sunday morning if the weather clears and the wind and current are out from the north-ne.
I almost forgot... I did catch a Cabo pt50 reel while bottom fishing. What are the odds?

[swordfish]

Wait, blackfin??? Blackfin what? Good job btw! Also, clean that cabo up brother, if it hasnt been too long that is pure gold... Ive had my cabo 40 since 06, still solid!

Hmmmm, might wake up early on my only day off after all to go to the pier befor sunrise and stay until 2-3. If i do go, ill post a live report on how the action is

[Copiersm]

My bad black tip shark and yes I agree cabo is gold. Lol

[fishnfool73]

If you were not at Anglins this morning you missed out on nothing. Pier total 4 keeper pomps along with a handful of shorts and a thousand hand size jacks. Nice short cobia on a Goofy jig but overall a horid wet day of fishing.

[Zebco]

Sounds like you are holding out on the scoop.

[swordfish]

I work on monday so wanted to go this morning but then got a call I had to open at 6am and got screwed twice! Im off tuesday morning and Wed, if anyone wants to go up there hit me up! Im ready to catch something! I got hurt at work but the pills are keeping the edge off, I need some fish action.

The scoop would be look for you as you commercial guys know where to fish. I would say my best advice to give would be to fish right next to Zebco the pomp killing man everytime you see him at Anglins. He is very understanding if you cross his line but please use braid when doing so and also use weights at least half the size he is using.

[Zebco]

Since the secret is out,.. I'll be at Pompano the next 21 days. Everybody meet me there. If you don't see me, just wait for me. Do not leave until I get there.

[Zebco]

PS.... any State Troopers,.. be on the lookout for a ***** black n white. He usually speeds and is watching porn on his car computer. Be cautious, as he is carrying a loaded out of date apple fritter from DD and will club you over the head.

[Miamipescador]

Well, was at Anglin's today from about 6:30 till 4.
Tommy was nice enough to introduce me to most of the crew, nice meeting you guys, he also hooked it up with a pompano rig and some sand fleas.

Unfortunately i only saw 3 keeper pomps come over the rail the whole time i was there, about 4-5 blues, one of which was from me. And 4 cobia also came up, biggest at around 30".

I hooked onto a ray in the morning that at least gave me some action on a banana jig, and got a blue at around 2pm, and it was jack mania till around noon.

Not the best of days, but glad i could make it out and meet some of you guys.

That was My Cobo... 30 yards past mid hut North Side. I threw it in after the Drag went south for the third time and I got tired of fixing it............go figure... actually you were there with Mike when I dunked it. One man's trash another man's gold? Good luck with that 50

I do remember Rick. "what are the odds" lol. Let me know when your ready to launch your VS.

[swordfish]

Unlucky? Ive landed ALL my fish on that setup, this includes 50+ lbs tarpon, it is my go to for every situation! Ive had it since 06, and will only set it aside cuz I want a shiny new one soon! Drag is flawless on mine, its just scuffed up as you would expect from a 6yr old reel.

[one more cast]

glad you made it out miamipescador and good to meet you....guess I should have stuck around to see the cobes

I think you were one of the lucky ones with the Cabos and got a good batch. I know of several people who have had theirs smoked and the reels are useless now. Ask Whodey how his held up to a run from a smoker kingfish.

[cudaman]

Those Cabos seem to have dry drag washers, I always use Penn blue grease or Cal's drag washer grease. It helps on the drag melting problem that leads to worn out gears... Yeah, Rob had a bad one with that king.

Nice to be out there today to enjoy the view and meet with part of the K.W.C. I got to see a pic of the 30" cobia it's nice to know they started running.

[Chevy Juan]

Hopefully someone nails it!

[Cookinman]

2 Keeper pomps for me at daybreak. Both on the jig - after that - nothing except for small jacks, which were entertaining on ultralight....

Home by 10 w lunch....

T - Thanks for the loaner on the rainjacket

I like the smaller cabo's best. Got a good batch myself in the 2500 and 4000 I use have been smoked many many times and I am a big fan of how they hold up. Little to no maintainance and so far so good....

If you weren't here this morning you should have been. Tired from catching fish going back to bed.

The Drag has never failed on my Cabo 60 its always the gearing, the first time on a hit offshore it just quit oscillating making it impossible to use so after a visit to T&R it was repaired and taken out on Yuri the drag click assembly failed. I was still able to fish it but it just didn't sound the same. Its going to be serviced again then off to Ebay with that POS.

[cudaman]

Thanks for the reports guys, wish I could go fishing before going to work. Or after work.

The gearing fails because the drag stops too quickly (it gets too hot and no friction so the gears take it all). When you take them apart is like a brownie cake of washers and drags. I guess those reels are meant for small fish only. LMAO at the Ebay comment. I guess it's just bad luck.
