I was wondering when you were going to post that pomp, chino told me you had been there the night before and caught it....nice fish, gotta hook up one of these nights....well I went to the pier yesterday from 11 am to 2:30pm there were tons of ballyhoo around the T and small pilchards from the entrance to the middle of the pier.....every other rod was either freelined or trollied, what a mess! I did see one nice mack caught about 28 inches 7lbs 11oz. I weighed it on my scale and took a pic. I tried bottom fishing for about an hour before I went to the middle of the pier and tried for some pomps with no luck but at least there was no one around me and I was able to relax and enjoy the beautiful day....there were a couple more macks landed from the T that I didn't see but heard

I went out with the family friday night and walked the pier....I got to see the first slot snook of the year caught on a live shrimp 31 inch fatty...they also informed me that during the day there were about 15 macs caught....water was clear and there was hardly a breeze I was there from 8:45pm to about 9:15pm that's all folks....

West Coast Fisherman · Sun Feb 03, 2008 10:30 pm

Went from about 2:30- 6:00, all I can say is there was no life in the water. To those looking for live bait. There were tons of mullet around across the street in the inlet, plenty of snook flopping around in there to.

West Coast Fisherman · Mon Feb 04, 2008 12:25 am

I was at that dock across the street from Dania(I think it is called Wiskey Creek), and they were hopping around all over the place.

How's the snook been over there?

Lomax aka ZEBCO · Post by **Lomax aka ZEBCO** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 6:57 pm

Loads of Snook. Most are undersize. I had maybe 25 under
1 light the other night wiping out the baby pilchard population.
I have seen a few 10-15 lb'rs swimming around inshore.

So Zebco I heard the Pompano bite was very good today, heard one person alone got 20 or so in an hour.

Lomax aka ZEBCO · Post by **Lomax aka ZEBCO** » Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:12 pm

Slow pick thru the day. I got mine. They bit good in the late afternoon.
The 20+ were by my friend Jason. It is hit and miss right now being so
early. And the size is around 12 to 13 average. Not too many bigger
ones yet. I am about to head that way now.

GO4EM · Post by **GO4EM** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:55 am

Was there last night from 7-9.Windy, the water had good color. I caught a jack while fishing for snook in the shallows. I saw one snook caught (undersized), and saw a few swimming around. Also one pomp was flipped while I was there.

Lomax aka ZEBCO · Post by **Lomax aka ZEBCO** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:14 pm

Scattered Pomps last night. Wind died, daytime became irrelevant.

Got some good wind in a few days on the way. For now, try the beaches south. They are scattered around.

gofish · Post by **gofish** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 1:05 pm

went to the pier this morning from 6am to 9:30am when i got there there were some snooks hanging around the balls of bait in the lights freelined some shrimp with no luck... when day broke the snook left and the cudas came in...i had a lizard fish eat one of my shrimp so i've heard that you can catch other fish with these so I hooked him up and let him swim in front of one of the cudas...at first he swam straight down and stayed still on the bottom as to camoflauge himself when i picked him up and he began to swim and the cuda got him...he chewed his head off then took off with the body until he finally spit it....that was all the action for the morning...it was hot muggy no wind water as clear as can be....see if you can find the cudas in the pic...thats how clear the water was...

how many rods can i bring to Dania?

Lomax aka ZEBCO · Post by **Lomax aka ZEBCO** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 12:50 pm

3 rods. No matter what 3 rods they are, meaning a baitrod counts
as 1 of those rods. Dania goes by the rules. If they know of someone
with more than 3 out there, they will go out there and get that person.

walk on the pier with TONS of rods and watched them tell there wife and
kids to go play on the beach while putting EVERY rod they had out

They threw people off of the pier the other day because of doing this.
That T can be a joke sometimes. It rates with Deerfield during the
Blue Runner Massacre in August with all of the Iwokenese!

Lessons learned today at Dania:

1- Dont go to Dania on a weekend. Period.
2- Dont ever, EVER drop a chumbag, catch a bait AND expect to go near the chumbag for the rest of the day without 5 other sabikis at that very spot.
3- Dont catch ANY type of fish and expect to fish the same spot without everyone on the pier at that very same spot when you get back.
4- T had 2 people fishing 4 rods at 600am. By 615am, there will be 6 fishing and 38 rods in the water.
5- Sea gulls and pelicans can be shooed off your bait at a great distance by clapping loudly and yelling loudly in spanish. Who knew they spoke spanish???
6- As heard on the pier today: "Do you catch those with a spanish fly?" (referring to a crappie jig)
7- Dont go to Dania on a weekend. What was I thinking???

Fished from 530am till 900am. I had one screaming run on a trollied hoo that did not hook up and I caught a bird. Thanks for helping with the release Paul.

ddratler · Post by **ddratler** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 12:14 am

i was there for the pompano just didnt have any bait!!!

i was 2 bucks short of buying a bag of sand fleas from the shop

i asked one guy if he would sell me a dozen live sandfleas for 3 bucks he said no! (he had a bucket full

)
and asked another guy if he would sell me some dead ones and he said no! ( he had a huge bag full!!

)
i had to resort to asking people to borrow money i asked someone who i think is you zebo but am not to sure

the pomps didnt touch the shrimp i found under a bench

stayed there until 9:00pm around 8:00pm some bluefish came in i caught 3 decent ones

got a big hit on a live grunt, fought the fish in and had it by the pier, it looked like a big mutton snapper,
me and another guy tried handing it up, but my hooked popped out of his mouth around 2 feet out of my reach

it wasn't a mutton but was the biggest mangrove snapper ive ever seen at a pier!!
