I have not caught a permit at bill baggs in two years

[bigseank22]

I was at BB for about 4 hours on Sunday morning using shrimp and got skunked..still cant complain because I wasnt at work.. Acutally the only thing I saw caught by anyway all morning was a little 8" mutton, which she proceeded to suspend on her line and run from two piers over to show her boyfriend/husband.

Nice Permit your friend caught! P7 will never be the same....

Talk about right place at the right time. Nice catch. If I casted out at bill baggs and left with that trophy, it would make my year.

[threeouncesinker]

I can see people lining up with fresh squid....Nice permit

Sometimes squid is all that works

Was out there today to cast my new rod made by Striz.
Fished from around 1-5:30.
The current was slack since i got there and when i left is when the bite was getting hot. The water was pretty clear, and it was a nice day out there.

Caught and released about 4 morays, also landed a 16 inch gag at around 5 when the tide finally started to head out. A couple more bites on the outgoing, and you could see the big snapper coming out from under the rocks and pier.

Unfortunately that was also the time when we got kicked out

Keep a look out on the tides guys, try to fish the outgoing on P8. Drop 2 lines with a 3-4oz sinker about 10-20 feet away from the rocks, and cast some out. See what happens

Anyone down to fish El Farito tomorrow?
Might not wake up so early and head here. Let me know, also have a couple more spots i want to hit up in the brickell area that you are more than welcome to come to!

[Chevy Juan]

Goodluck out there jorge let us know how it goes. I been meaning to hit up el farito one of these days..I'm right at the end of homestead so for me i kinda of always just end up going to the keys instead of baggs or rickenbacker etc because of the drive and what not..dale

[Miamipescador]

Thanks for the comments Juan.

Didnt end up going, just going to take this sunday to watch some movies at home and spend some time with the family.

[Chevy Juan]

Thats always good man, you ever fish during weekdays or only weekends?

[Miamipescador]

Not usually, work mon-sat 9-6, sometimes more.

Will prob head out sometime this week at night.

[Miamipescador]

Gonna be hitting the Rick at sunup then baggs for the incoming, anyone down?

[Miamipescador]

Hit the Baggs today from 10 - 5.

No fish to be caught except bait, no good runs, but a nice day to be out.
At about the time we left the front started coming through, got windy as heck.

Beautiful day to be out there.

[ikaika]

I fished Baggs yesterday right before the wind arrived.

Not a nibble.

lots of idiots in boats ripping near the wall

Happy New Year everybody

I went to the Baggs this morning for a couple of hours and nothing was biting , the only fish caught was a ''look down'' fish that I ''stole'' by the head


I started the year off right with nada

[cubapnea]

I went to Bill Baggs this morning from 8 am to 11 am and except for a couple good bites nothing much happening, a factor being the strong current that ignored my 8 oz sinkers so from three hours of fishing I really got to fish like two... this fella looks like grunt but when it came out the water had a different color.

I guess is a grunt ,about two pounds and a little big for shoreline,also the mouth looks a little different...can anybody confirm this as a grunt?

That would be a black margate, pretty much a big grunt

Good eating, and thanks for the report

[cubapnea]

thanks for the quick answer !! I plan on eating him tonight, I have eated grunts before and they taste good in my opinion better than any mackerel or jack!!

[gonfishin]

Well the above posts just sounds like gossip. Here is a report, but with nothing to report. LOL
I was out there on P8 by 8:45. no one there yet. I was the first one there. I brought 3 doz of live big shrimp and fresh sardines. To make a long story short, left at around 4:00 and didn't catch a darn thing. I never knew the current was so strong there (first time). Lost quit afew hooks and sinkers try to hold the bottom at no luck. Didn't see anyone catching anything either. Moved al the way to the lighthouse, stopping at different spots, but nothing. Is it better to fish towards the no name harbor platforms or is it the same thing??? It was a beautiful day though. Nice and relaxing and saw afew nice looking women walking around. Any advise if, I decide to go there again?? Thanks guys.

[Miamipescador]

The first 2 platforms are good for barracudas if you like them. Toss out a live grunt or pinfish and you should hook up, its very shallow there.

Sometimes 8 ounces doesnt hold there, it all depends. Usually when the current is that bad i just cast all my rods close to the platform, youd be surprised whats only a few feet away.

[gonfishin]

You're right about up close. I must have seen at least 4 nice size mangrove near the edge underneath the platform. But if you cast short the line will run into the rocks by the seawall with the action of the current. It happen to me acouple of times. Than you also have to deal with the people by the seawall using their yoyo's and I even saw acouple of them with spools in their hands, and using Winn Dixie frozen squid. I said to myself, if they bring up something good, it's time for me to leave, throw away my live shrimps and head to Winn Dixie myself. I'm going to try and make it this weekend to the keys, depending on the weather and hopefully the moon won't be so bright. I have never been lucky with a full moon out there.

It was a full moon when i want and the bite was good. Only 4 keeper snapper and a nice mac, but many many sharks and had tons of fun throughout the day

Use a 4 ounce sinker and cast 10 feet in front of the rocks.. it wont move from there.

Also dont use egg sinkers, they will roll on the bottom with current, try banks.

going to the Cape early this morning.. Wish me luck
