Hammer, you`re missing the point, he needs us to give him a report so he can come back here and tell us about it.HammerHd wrote:gotcha forget about it. If someone has a report, they will post it
Sorry Carlos, I couldn`t resist...
Fishing is ZEN
Catching is incidental

Depends on what else you are potentially doing mikeypbg....
Personally a night on the pier in the nice cool weather with no kids to chase sounds great even if notyhing is biting
Remember in fishing - ya never know.
At lunch I am gonna go catcha few gogs for the freezer, so I'll let ya know what I see.

Is anyone thinking of goin out there tonight?
And Florida Cub, the answer is a gog bug. There has been a lot of talk about them recently. Ive gotten them on sabikis before though as well.

Gogs a plenty - I put a doz on ice for the weekend if I am able to break away....if not to the freezer they will go Ballyhoo were there to be caught as well....
Kingfish and Macs were around. I saw Keeper Lessers, 2 nice kings and a 3# Spanish hit the deck while I was there. In fact I gave a live gog to a pal when Whoosh, Fish-ON !
Remember though, it is really an anomaly when kings do NOT come up off that T when properly angled for. Mac hit a strip.
Water was greening up nicely, but quite clear by the surfline. towards the T is was cloudier, but not as nice as we would all like it.
Dunno Mikey, it is worth a shot but not a garantee on the fish....I really never night fish there, so it is tough to call, BUT fish were around today.
PM me your # - Never know - maybe I break away a couple hours after the kids sleep.
( I also think a few guys were letting their gog bugs hit the sand and scatter the pod- Whereas I always jig up on top of the pod. Much more important than color IMHO. )

Mikey is right on. Heat to RJ Boyle or T and R if closer, pick up a few gog bugs...Mettallic gold color outfished all other gog bugs today like 5/1. I was just handing em away....lolFloridaCub wrote:hey cookinman...what do you recommend as the best way to catch gogs?

Re: 12/8 - Saturday
I go on mondays and it usually isn't much better Ill still probably be going thorob762 wrote:Gatorkong, the kids and I spent the AM at deerfield.
Clear water up to tee, slight color @ tee. Some Kings caught on what was a VERY crowded tee. I walked up with a white jib an got a lesser(and my cabo 20 setup, lots of fun), and then gave up fishing in that mess.
The rest of the day was slow. Plenty of bait in the water, and my gog bug actually worked!! Trolleyed out a goggle eye from the side to no avail.
I would've loved to trolley it off the tee, but there was absolutely no way with that rats nest...
Won't go back on a weekend day. Not set up well for kids either, with the rail height being so high.
Might give it a shot on Monday.

Rob,
DFP on a weekend really requires you to show up well before sun up. It can be a pretty productive pier during those times, you just need to know where to put your bait.
You are correct about it not bein great for the kiddies. There are often times a lot of people out there and it can be overwhelming and the rails are a bit higher. I know that Ken, one of the regulars, brings his son out. He seems to do really well standing on the first bar jiggin up macks with the crappy jigs and floating shrimp under the pier for snapper.
Either way, good luck. I liked to fish it more when the sun was still up at the end of the work day. It gets too dark too early.

That T is a Zoo on weekends, which is why I hit anglins on the weekend. Weekdays are more sane. when the weather is blustery and stirred up a bit, the 2nd lightpole from the shack produces nice macs and blues as well as crevalles....a great alternative to fighting the crowd. I have also caught keeper mutton on the reef edges just W of the hut on fresh goggleye on a clear AM.
With Pompano closed now, that pier will be crowded on weekends. I would not even mind the crowd if we could get the bass poles with 2 oz barrell sinkers away from the T....lol
Glad the gog bugs worked Rob -

Today at lunch saw micro bluefish chasing in the surfline, some stirred up and cloudy / sandy water there. Water cleared a bit midway then got nice at the T.
Ballyhoo Showers and Gogs were buggin
Water was a decent green, but not too cloudy, winds from the E - NE.
I coolered a few decent macs in the 3# range to make some fish fingers for my Mother in Law who arrives tomorrow from Colombia. Before anyone asks, no - she will not !
Kings and macs ( mostly bigger Macs and snake kings) were caught on Gotcha and Y-zuri's. Dino-Kings, meaning 5#ers and up were caught on bigger trolleyed Gog's. I an betting the afternoon bite just gets better, but I had to get back to the office today.
On a sad note, a midair casting collission between my redbone and another caster( Genarro's 10' Spinner) resulted in my slipping an insert from the first guide from the tip. SO right after, I toss oin my gotcha to straihghten the line and a Big-Mac cuts me clean and I watch the insert tumble to the waves, Oh Well, looks like I need to make a trip to the T&R....lol
Fishing looked pretty decent today given the last week or so we have had- get out if you can.
