Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

thinking about heading out to the pier tomorrow but ive been hearing through people that some are closed like deerfield and pompano. does anyone have any info on this and where i can find a reliable source?

I would just call them...

Anglins is open, but at times the last 1/3rd is closed due to the swell is scary and every so often a rogue comes in 6 feet bigger then the pier.

Maybe tomorrow morning the entire pier will stay open if the swell comes down a bit.

alright thanks tommy

Tommy, open it up I'm on my way.....

Per Tommy Anglins is closed for a few hours. Waves cresting the pier and boards are popping.

It will be some time, as long as only planks pop we can get it back open ASAP.

I will post when it opens back up

i heard deerfield pier had some damage

Part of Deerfields tee got damage but that was yesterday, today is a lot werse. I have never seen Swells like this.

Anglins will be closed all day due to the fact the swells make it to dangerous to fix while they are still coming.

Thanks Tommy. Hopefully you can open it back up tomorrow.

Its this bad here... Lets pray for the people up north, the fishermen out on the grand banks, and hell just anyone in the path of this beast... It is a bout to combine with two different weather systems riding down from Canada and become a behemoth to rival the one that sunk the Andrea Gail in Halloween of 91! Hope the pier didnt get too damaged... Tommy, did you take some video?

Anglins still closed. Watching the waves still break the pier at low tide.

Out this morning with FF73 and Tommy walking the planks to the "T" at Anglins. It was like the movie tremors when the underground monsters were running down the walkway and the planks just rolled out of the dirt like dominos......needless to say I was there when it closed for the day and stayed till sunup watching the rolling swells.... awesome nature but no fishing

Anyone know the status of Pompano Pier?

went to my favorite pier (Anglins) this morning, so sad to see it closed and a really nice police officer tell me planks on the T are damaged. see you guys when it reopens - and yes - if it's bad down here let's pray for our friends up north

Here's a link to a Sun Sentinel article on the statuses of the piers here. It says Pompano Pier should be open today.

the front half of juno is open.. the rest should be open by the end of next week.. there's been some damage...

Deerfield is closed, alot of damage to the T i heard. Guess ill be back at Anglins for a bittt

Anglins may not be open yet I'd call and ask first.

Anglins was closed this morning when I was there. No one was doing any repair work. Swells were still coming up thru the planks. I think the Tee has a good bit of damage, but Tommy would know better than I.

Ill be sure to call before when i go. Hopefully its open next week

I was out on Anglins while the damage was happeneing. Took a walk out at 0430 am yesterday and the pier was fine. Started fishing and had a wave come over the rails at 0500 am . I was standing waist deep in water on the pier while the crest went over my head. Thank you Lifeproof and my Iphone waas toast. Took another walk out on the pier after that and saw the damage that just that one set had caused. The damage at that time didn't look that bad just popped boards and one side rail on the T shattered. I have no doubt that based on the damage I saw that the pier will be back up a few hours after they can safely work on it. I went out yesterday afternoon and saw the waves still crashing over the rails. I just hope that the waves didn't cause worse damage than I saw. It was the worst waves I have seeen since Andrew there.

Me too Rob the picture on the FB doesnt compare to that wave.

Planning to head up to Anglins in the morning... Should I be making plans to head elsewhere? What is the status? I only fish the first 1/3 of it, so curious as to the course of action to take...

Call and check Juan. The whole pier was closed last night
