[kblue]

Thanks
It has been so long to hear those white baits show up at pompano pier. Definitely I will check out @ my next bait hunt

[ftlfish1]

lots of bait, glass minnows and goggle eyes. saw a guy catching triggerfish after triggerfish but thats about it

[kblue]

I think trigger season is closed...

State Waters Harvest Seasons
Closed through Dec. 31, 2017, reopening to harvest Jan. 1, 2018 in Gulf state waters. FWC will consider a limited 2017 season at an upcoming meeting. Check back for updates.

That's only for the Gulf of Mexico I think. Atlantic side should still be OK. NOAA news release only mentions GOM: http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/fishery_bulle ... index.html

[ftlfish1]

he was releasing the trigger fish anyways

Decided to see what effect all this crazy wind had on the fishing. Lots of tiny baits around but only schools of small jacks on them.

Oh, and the baby muttons continue to be decimated by fishermen who don't give a crap about the rules or conservation. They're plentiful and easy pickin's at Pompano, and the enforcement's almost none existent. I'm talking about 8" to 10" muttons too.

That's how things got massed up... 8"~10" muttons may have a good chance to survive to big ones... I think FWC need to have some volunteering thoughtful citizens to "enforce" the piers specially after storm...

I went to the pier to fish for the first time today. Just moved right near here so I could fish this pier. I knew the pier was supposed to be repaired, so I researched before I moved. I found nothing here or anywhere else about it closing. I get there today and I see a sign saying closing 5/22/17-January 2019. fishing this poop. fishing you pompano beach. fishing it, it's probably for the better. You need a boat to catch fish in South FL, sorry to say....

[bigyellowtuna]

Maybe should have called the city....

[Snapperfanatic1828]

You dont need a boat to catch quality fish..you might not be shorebound savy...just saying....plenty of members here do very well from land...good luck out there

If they keep closing everything in a few years it'll be illegal to fish from shore

Is nice to fish from a boat, specially when you have friends that'll help you when you get back from the trip and not just leave.
Quality and quantity is better when you aren't shorebound, a few members from here are now in the kayak forum and they went from catching mangroves, permit or snook to catching sail , cobia, mahi mahi, kingfish, tuna .

[Snapperfanatic1828]

I get that, but guess what? They wanna even close anchor fishing on the reefs too! Or even closures even in our parts

[BEOWULF]

So has anyone been out there to confirm that they really closed it this time?
There's been so many false alarms in the last two years. Sounds like the free lunch is over...

Deerfield and Anglins are arguably better piers for fishing anyway and you're right between both of them
