Fished today 1/6 from 2-5ish.....nothing. I caught one small wrasse while trying to catch bait, I saw one cowfish caught, and about 10 minutes before I left I saw a huge blue runner get caught and swam back out with no takers. Water was a clear green, saw a couple schools of ballyhoo hangin' out about 100 feet off the pier but nothing crashing them, and no bait around the pier itself. Rough day, but nice weather atleast.

Was there monday night midnight to 3am. A few jacks rolling around the pier earlier from what i heard and pretty much nothing else. A couple of hits on a xrap lure but no hookups and nothing bottom fishing with live shrimp. Lucky shrimp. Only about 5 people out there everyone pretty friendly. But I'm pretty new at fishing the piers so what do i know :reeling:

Are those livewells still running on the pier? Haven't been to Pompano in a long time. Curious about the livewells because if they're there I wouldn't have to truck around my big one.

I decided to go to the pier. Shouldn't have went. There's no livewells, for anyone wondering.

There was a chumbag out with a billion ballyhoo underneath. I caught a few. I tied on a Gotcha on my brand new Spheros 4000 I got a few weeks ago as my personal Christmas present from my money and money I got, since my family couldn't afford me a Christmas present this year. I worked the Gotcha, no hits. I put it down to go catch more bait.

About five minutes later some guy says, "Hey, man, your rod is flyin'." I turn around and couldn't believe it. This freaking pelican apparently ate the Gotcha that was in one of my rod guides and is now flying off with it. My $100 rod, my $70 reel, my $30 worth of line, fluorocarbon, wire and Gotcha. This damn bird lands about 50 yards off the north side in the water and the rod falls in. My rod is gone. Freaking bird can't land by the beach where I can dive in and get it. Can't land next to the pier. Can't eat normal fish like a normal bird, has to eat shiny lures on a rod. I don't even know where the rod exactly is. So of course these guys are laughing as I'm tying up a 4 triple hook snatch set to try to get it back. I dragged the rig on sand for about an hour trying to get my rod back with no luck.

Figured I might as well try to catch a fish. We get a ballyhoo out there, about twenty minutes later it goes off. We get a nice Mac right to the pier, right next to the piling and the treble falls out.

Then a bird craps on me.

I'm done with fishing for a long time now.

If anyone finds a Spheros 4000 with 40# yellow PowerPro on a 7 ft red/black falcon seahawk inshore rod with cork, please tell me. The bird landed about 50 yards off the middle of the north side of the pier. It might show up on shore, I don't know. If anyone finds it, please tell me. That was all the money I had.

I still can't believe my rod/reel is gone. The whole concept of the idea of a pelican flying off with a 7' rod attached sounds humorous. I want to laugh. I really do.

That's understandable, a piece of squid. But a Gotcha sitting in a rod guide? Do I need to start attaching a float on a snap swivel to my next spinning rod when I'm not using it?

I had several experiences with birds also. You ain't the only one. I was fishing at Sebastian inlet one day and the bait thick everywhere. Redfish started to move in and the Tarpon too. Throwing only a 3oz spoon and letting it drift out the inlet 100yd's, I soon started to retrieving it. As I got the spoon close to the jetty, out of nowhere, a bird(the kind that swims) nailed the lure from underneath the water. Man! how can that just happen. It's unreal how im reeling a lure and a bird under the water hits it.


Another thing that happened to me was when i was fishing in a canal and i catch a pinfish. Losing track of time, I reeled the fish up to the pavement, left the rod with the fish still on the hook to go to the car to check the time. Since the car wasn't far at all, I dint think it wouldn't be long enough for a pelican to get the fish. And sure enough, i was wrong. A pelican did.fly over to get the fish. So I rushed from the car to the rod and dove for it. But it was to late. the pelican had flew off and landed across the canal in a park. Then i thought to myself, I'll go to the other side and try to grab the rod for a second time. So i drove 2 or 3 miles to the park to find my rod and reel. when i get there, i walk down the embankment and guess what, the pelican was still there struggling to free the hook in it's mouth. I ran as fast as possible before the bird would fly off again and i grabed my fishing pole. What luck was that. All i did was brake the line and the pelican flew away. Good, i got everything back.

Yeah, I remember you. You probably thought I was crazy when you see this kid dragging a rig with four trebles on it, like he's trying to snag some fish. :lol: We looked at that topic you told Ben and I to read, it was pretty funny.

Thanks James the story just really got to me i'd hate to hear he stopped fishing for lack of having dough or gear.Hey Clark i dont have any 4000 series reels i just checked i'm on the case i wanna help.If you want i have the new black penn 3000 on a penn pursuit rod but its a series lower don't know if ya want it but its yours if you do.My buddy Tank just used it at Flamingo he had fun with the lil snookies on it and he said he loved the way it cast.
Are you serious? Man, I would love if you could help. I'd really like a 4000 series reel, preferably a Spheros because I really liked it (lightweight, good drag, smooth) but beggars can't be choosers. Stradic, Penn, Quantum, Daiwa, it doesn't really matter to me, as long as it's a good reel. The combo I had was good for everything from snook to macks to dolphin offshore, basically casting artificials and jigs.

I could never accept a combo for free. I'll give you a nice Penn 4/0 and a few nice rods to sell in your store if you can help.

Thanks a bunch more man. Seriously. :toast:

Ok, went last night since nobody else has. :roll: Yes shrimp were running.

Tried throwing some shrimp to entice some snookies under the moonlight. Nada. I'll never know if I was just chucking shrimp at barren water though, since it's so damn dark there now without the old lights. I wonder if this poor lighting means the end of night-time snooking at Pompano?
