Juno Fishing Pier Reports 2008

[killula]

Thats it, im headed out there tomorrow, weather permitting of course...

[Lomax aka ZEBCO]

as you guys have read the pier was crazy today. we had over 280 people on the pier at one time in the day.

Dude, Dania had over 500 at once. Talk about a mess.

[bolo]

Nice catch MP.

[JunoChris]

Got 3 overs 1 under and 1 keeper (#4) today. Almost every snook caught today was oversized. There was a few bluefish and a couple mackeral caught. No snappers today. At closing time the water was moving so fast to the south that you couldnt keep a bait down, even straight down, with 8 ounces of lead. I would quess that tomorrow is going to be real close to unfishable.

[JunoChris]

The surf was huge at Juno this morning. I would say at least 6 to 8 ft swells and some 8 to 10 and they were starting way out past the T. There was some tarpon around but it was impossible to keep a bait in front of them.

Hit the pier after the labor day madness and all I can say is that the snook fishing
on tues was on fire,there were schools of mullet migrating south and everytime
you put one down the snook would suck it up.Also the mutton snapper were going crazy today,poeple were catching them on their pompano rigs,not many keepers
but they should start bitting solid with the rough weather coming thru.Macks were also plentiful and so were the pompano and pompenette.

Nice catch. Are those palometta good to eat?

Nice catch. Are those palometta good to eat?

I've heard they are very similar to pompano.

How about a report..................

Fished from 6a.m. till 12. Water still dirty with noticeable sediment floating around. Mullet were pretty thick. Thickest i've seen so far. From Fingers up to the big guys. Ladyfish, Blue fish, Runners, Grovers, Muttons, Black Tips, Spinners, Snook, and Tarpon galore oh my. The Muttons were thick with a bunch of keepers including a 25", a 22", & a couple 19"ers. Muttons only seemed to be eating Ladyfish chunks. Grovers only ate shrimp. Snook only ate live Mullet. Two slot Snook taken out of the 4 or 5 caught from the T. Black Tips were thick aswell. I caught 5 or 6. Which is basically all I caught(plus one small Mutton). Those catching the ladyfish weren't sharing the first part of the day and I wasn't having any luck with them. Bluefish were chewing early and I couldn't get one of them either. Go figure. lol It was a good day with lots of fish caught. Just blows when Muttons are going in everyone elses coolers. Till next time.

Get out there guys before the Mutton return to the reefs.

Oh the Ladyfish were hitting crappy jigs and silver small gotchas. Even the Muttons(smaller) were hitting the crappie jigs.

Great report, Thanks,

[james380]

Oh I almost forgot. The guy who caught the biggest Mutton also caught a keeper Cobia about 10 minutes later. He was using cut bait just off the T.

I also learned the hard way what a leather jack was. If I was told it was a skip jack I wouldn't have grabbed it to dehook it. Lesson learned.

[james380]

....and Macks were around aswell with a few of nice size.

[MoJo]

Pour some peroxide on your skipjack wound....

[fishnfool73]

JAMES when are you going to learn that fish are not your friends.....sucks about the slapjack stick.

[bolo]

James380, aren't you glad you stay at Juno?

[bigboyjames11]

James380 basicly summed up the day today. later on the pomps came through with a few nice keepers landed also right before closing the blue fish showed up along with a few slot snook

[james380]

lol Chris... They are my friends. Especially when they are on my plate.

BOLO yes I am. Just got back from Miami so tht extra drive this morning would have suuucked.

That's another fish I missed. Pomps(2) were caught off the T with crappie jigs.

Mojo the irritating pain only lasted an hour or so.

[bigboyjames11]

ok i actually got to fish today. saw a lot of small pomps with only a hand full of keepers early in the afternoon, then a few nice macks came up, i got 2, also a few runners, short muttons with a few keepers, lots of butter jacks and moon fish. at about 6:20 a few dines and cigar minnows moved in and a few more macks were caught along with my 30' and 25' to the fork kings with were landed on 10lb test with a 20lb leader. pretty fun. sorry no pics. also the mullet were around but not thick. few keeper snook landed but not many snook were caught todaY

[bolo]

Thanks for the report BBJames.

[bigboyjames11]

the water was really choppy but fishable. not a lot of guys fishing but a good amount of snook with a few keepers mixed in, bluefish, runners, a lot of spadefish and heard a good king was lost up and down on the T. also i weighted a 8lbs triple tail that was landed on a sardine at the T. good amount of finger mullet on the beach but not much else for bait

[james380]

It's gonna suck not having your daily reports when you take off to Arkansas on us BBJames.

[bigboyjames11]

lol. if you guys want to pay some of my bills for me ill stay but if not i got to go. sucks but im sure ill be back in a few years. ill be down to visit a time or 2. how do you guys think the fishing be on wednesday?

[james380]

I haven't a clue. I focus on weekends.

[JunoChris]

Almost too rough to fish this morning. A couple real small snook and two or three bluefish on plugs in the surf this morning, but bottom fishing wasnt happening. So rough and dirty that the catfish moved in.

[anubis10111]

Waz up guys, I know by reading the latest report of juno I see that it hasn't been good at all. I'll go fishing at juno on thursday with a co-worker, it's going to be the first time that he goes fishing there, so hopefully we get something on that day. but i'll apreciated if anyone could keep me posted on how was todays forecast.

[bigboyjames11]

tarpoon and snook in the morning with the mullet, blues were mixed in as well. lots of monster snook landed on the pier today with a handle full of slots. lots of blues, few macks, few jacks and a 11lbs triple tail caught by the same guy who got the 8lbs yesterday. he also claims to have had one mor break off strigh up and down.wind and waves were brutal but mullet was around and so were some good fish.

[james380]

It's probably going to be rough out there today as well with Ike still churning up our winds. Tomorrow the seas should lay down a bit as Ike moves towards Texas.

[JunoChris]

Its still pretty rough out there today. A few Bluefish, a few Mackeral, and a couple snook.
Got another keeper this morning.

This is how rough it looked from the T.

[anubis10111]

Thanks guys for the reports. hopefully tomorrow the weather gets better.
