lol, he still puts his two cents in from time to time. Is there no boatless fishing on the west coast? I wish he would change his damn profile pic back to the jeep so I can catch some fish again. :lol:

Went yesterday to Dania to do some fishing and swimming. There were alot of of small fish, anywhere fro 2in to 5in, nibbling at our feet when we were swimming. On the pier saw about 15-20 cudas caught and some lady took some chubs with her... Saw about 3 huge tarpon come by, a ton of cudas in the water, a couple of snook here and there, and a baitball under the beginning of the pier of really small fish (silverside?). We only caught a bunch of grunts so it was a pretty rough day for all of us...

Try baiting the sabiki with peeled cut shrimp pieces or maybe little bits of squid. That should get them to hit.

Went out to the pier today from 6-9am. No pilchards or snook. A few blue runners and lookdowns caught. Saw one big goggle eye caught also. I went out one day last week and alot of pilchards and snook around with 2 being caught, one was in the slot. There were some bonitas around with 2 hooked up and one caught.

Bait is back! I went out there today around 1pm and stayed till 6pm. Wasn't expecting much but was plesently surprised the pilchards were back along with small gogs, blue runners and threadfins. They were all on the end. Saw several snook swimming around. One guy hooked one soaking a bait on the bottom under the pier. It looked like it was upper slot, noone had a net and it was lost after someone ran up with a tiny pier gaff and gaffed it in the lips and while lifting it up the snook shook off the gaff. I caught a nice yellowtail and got cut off by a mackeral. Saw several mackerals swimming around. I don't know if its spawing season for needlefish and file fish but both species were in big groups and they were feeding. Not much else was caught while i was out there. Btw i went across the parking lot to the marina and there were a couple small bunches of mullet swimming around.

I guess i'm the only one fishing. I went out to the pier tuesday around 8am. When i got there everyone was catching small jacks. I joined in on the fun and caught one pretty much every other cast for 45 mins. I lost one spanish mack due to no leader. I saw 1 caught and a couple others lost. Water was very dirty and you couldn't see a foot down. Only bait i saw caught was a few really big threadfins. After 9am the bite completly stopped and i stayed another hour and decided to leave. I walked across the parking lot to scope out the mullet. No mullet anywhere and i saw a guy throwing a net and he said he hadn't caught any either.

So what's with all the secrecy about the pompano anyway? Yeah, I've caught my limit a couple of days now, nice fat ones too. Big woop. :roll: When they're running, they're running, they'll bite anything and I even have seen a guy land one on a Spiderman pole. Now that was a challenge! :happyfisherman:

Ah, if only that were true. I would make a true convert out of you! I think I will catch my next load of scad and once seasoned, smoked and canned will always keep a small jar in my cart and hand it off to you next time I see you on the planks. You can either take it home and be brave, or pop it open and dump it over the rail as chum. I'll leave that choice to you!!

Was out this morning for a couple of hours. E wind blowing hard at about 15 to 20 knots. Tried some fleas for pomps, but nothing happening. Saw one nice
Jack C come over the rail, and that was about it. Tough going out there, no bait to speak of.

Haven't been out in AWHILE but finally dragged my dad and I out to Dania. Pretty slow out there, but I did pull a barely-keeper Yellowtail that I'll be cooking while here for lunch in a couple hours. Other than that, a dude hooked into a supposedly super solid king when I went to the beach to sound a fish whistle, but it broke off with one last run when it was straight up and down.

Ok, no reports lately so here goes. I scored my first triple yesterday. If you don't have live fleas don't waste your time. Dead today however. Was surprised to see the bite on so good with no stiff SE wind, but got my limit just before sunset. I'm hoping the spring run has started. Shhh, don't tell KOTS! :reeling:

If you fish over the reef at DP, you will get snagged from time to time. However most of my good Pomp action comes from the sand right before the reef starts. I find just behind the breakline to be best place to fish them. If you hit the beach to the south after the guards are gone, you can also score well some days.
