Hollywood docks
I was driving down A1A yesterday from Dania Beach to Hollywood Beach and noticed 2 or 3 public docks on the canal. There were a few people fishng. I did not stop to talk to them but was wondering how the fishing would be there. What could we expect to catch? Anyone fish there or have any info? Thank you.

Re: Hollywood docks
Never fished there, but if I had to guess, I'd say not much. Probably mostly crap fish, grunts, puffers, baby snapper, etc. Maybe some jacks, snook and tarpon if you are lucky.

Re: Hollywood docks
That is what I thought. We fished the John Loyd Park boat ramp area and all we got for $8.00 worth of shrimp was small snapper, puffers and grunts.

Re: Hollywood docks
I have spent many an hour trying to prove that spot out as it looks really fishy. I mean structure loads of current and near the inlet slam dunk right. Negative , my trips there produced some sand perch undersize grovers, and some jacks at first light. Have seen tarpon rolling but never got a whiff from them as they moved through quickly.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Re: Hollywood docks
I say jacks, and maybe tarpon at night. My friend lives on a canal like that in the keys and at night the fishing is amazing. We caught our limits on grovers every night, a few hogs and jacks, and huuuuuge tarpon roll through at night. Each spot is different though.

You seriously can't compare a canal in broward to one in the Keys.JordanConnorSharp wrote:I say jacks, and maybe tarpon at night.

Re: Hollywood docks
I've never really fished them around here so I guess I can't. I was just going off of prior knowledge but I can see there's a big difference lol

Re: Hollywood docks
The Keys is completely different compare to anywhere around the country. Some canals in the Keys will produce more fish you will ever see if you fish a life time on the piers.

Re: Hollywood docks
After my few trips to the keys I could agree with that statement.
