does anyone know of any local reefs either in jon loyd dania or hollywood. I went to that artificial reef just north of the pier and there was nothing there any suggestions thanks

sounds like you were at the eurojack reef north of the pier like you stated. if so, take a look at the bottom where u were fishing at.




best thing to do is buy a waterproof top spot chart for the lauderdale area. it will show you reefs(including artificual) and give you numbers to the main spots, not the secret ones.

Sad that is a great looking artifical reef and no real life on it at all.

at least he knows why there were no fish caught around there.

yea thats were i was at. didnt see any hogs not even any grovers saw 1 nurse shark. any suggestions on where there are reefs?

EuroJack Reef.
Thank you for the videos provided, they were another eye opener for me, I hope this Summer helps the reef without further undue hurricane pressures.
Let's not forget this reef is close to shore and therefore difficult to maintain proper fish feeding habits year round with future migrations.
Nontheless, it's nice to know there is something close to the shore worthwhile in hopes of another day.

can u take your kayak off of hollywood beach with out trouble from lifeguards?

Yes and No. Hollywood Beach spans a good distance along Broward.
May I suggest launching your Yak from Meade Street just North of Sheridan St. and south from Dania on A1A.
The Lifeguards are aware of this public access not known by many.
You may be interested in saving a few bucks in parking if you go the the boat ramp in JLloyd.
It's up to you, GoogleMap the area and decide.

yea thanks man looks like a good area with good rock formations

great videos man love the point of view is like a video game lol

amazing how the reef looks great and no fish any other place would have been full of fish

I'll go out on a limb and say that spot sees a lot of spearers.

If it was me I would hit it right after a big storm.

After further review of the aerial photo, it seems you're very close to my watering hole.
You've got a long ways to go before you beat me to the fish near Hally Dally.
See ya out there!

but unfortunately I cant. got to pack up for a 2 day fishing trip in the gulf.

Keep us posted bro!

Just find those eurojacks, swim to the deep end of them, then about a block or two further... and turn north... for about a mile

I'd go to the first reef in the park hauling a small inflatable with a cooler...

I've seen good muttons, big hogs that always cruise in pairs, on rare occasions I've seen a grouper or two. If you're an ornamental collector, bring your nets, plenty of angelfish and butterflies. Winning!

I went to the jax a few years back, in May. Speared five fish in total, one was a really nice snapper of some kind, a few porgies, and one really nice Hog. Problem was, a shark came and took all my fish. My fault, I should have had something to take them out of the water. We all swam the F#*@ out and let him have it, there was some serious commotion in the water, it looked like there were two on it. The fish were in a mesh bag so they were really trying to get at the catch. Major drag. But there was a lot of life there on that particular trip. Apparently you can't go in directly form the shore to the jax with a spear, you have to enter the water from further south and swim that direction.
