[Jordan]

lol the guy working up front at the pier told me yesterday that even if I found the guy, unless i have some way to prove its my rod I can't do anything about it...I don't need any fckin proof, if I see that rod that guy wont make it off the pier with it, and he's gonna leave in an ambulance

He is right. My son's bike got stolen once. I spotted it. The kid that was riding it said it was his. I "politely" told him to get off the bike and I took it home. Sometimes the only thing that works is being "polite".

Snagged a look down Saturday on a sabiki rig, beats nothin'

I will be fishing deerfield this weekend and I have never fish here so what should I expect? Also should i throw lures or bottom fish and any bait?

I see a guy catching Macks couple weekends in a row from the end of the pier on a bobber, 1-2 ounce egg sinker, and a "silver" jig, casts and reels about as fast as he can. Daytime only then he stops. I catch on slow so it won't be till this weekend that I try it myself.

Watch out for the toitles!

Friday night caught a blue runner and a few grunts on squid. Caught 2 grunts on one cast!

Went around 7/1 from 1700-2300 hours. Caught live bait off the beach, a jack, spanish mack, and hooked some huge stingray twice on a snapper rig. That jerk of a stingray ran for the beach and snagged everyones line, so I left right after that. Seems that people have trouble getting live bait there, or prefer dead bait: dont know why.

Also, first post, why are the posts not sorted by most recent, or are the message boards just a general cluster fishing? <----Clever wordfilter btw

$4 per person to fish.... parking available at the pier house $3 per 6 hours and a 3 rod plus a bait rod limit.

fishing has been kinda poor this year but should be picking up soon

Good luck

Took the kids yesterday to the pier (4pm to 8 pm). A few blue runners were caught along w/ some undersized mangrove snappers(that were thrown back) but that was about it. There was some bait but mostly 3 inch cigar minnows & blue runners w/ a few pilchards.

[Jordan]

A lot of muttons caught on friday and saturday and good size too, a bunch in the 22-24 inch range. Also bluefish, ladyfish, ribbon fish, mangroves, and some small sharks

[fisherdave]

Thanks for the report. Were the lights on under the pier at night?

[Jordan]

i'm not sure I only fished yesterday and got there in the morning, just saw pics on facebook from the day before.

[spb_angler]

tons and tons of blue runners today and thats it besides a few small macks

[threeouncesinker]

Went to Deerfield once and it seemed like decent seasonal fishing. The crowd was pretty good, (no booze) and the pier is def the most well taken care of in south florida with plenty of amenities surrounding it. Still can not help but wonder if someone would chip in and sink a boat or two a little east of the pier, if the fishing would be up to par with Dania/Newport.

Went fishing yesterday, solid blue runners in the morning then its kinda sporadic during the day.. Some sardines for bait but you have towork hard to get some. Water was clear and a light breeeze from the east. No descent fish caught, no macs...attendant says renovation will be sometime in oct or november THE PIER WILL BE OPEN during the renovation,so if you want to fish thats good news!!!

[fatmanfishin]

went yesterday from 9-3 and caught everything from blue runner to spanish macks no kings though good size spanish about two feet long you with the right bait and around 1:45 a swarm of bluefish came running through 9 of us caught the limit within twenty minutes caught four pompano in that same swarm there were also amber jack in there as well but two small then around 2:45 a massive cloud of mullet appeared and see saw them coming from a mile away great day

GREAT REPORT GLAD U GUYS GOT IN ON THE ACTION!

[SnapperSnatcher]

anything today guys???

[SaltLife27]

Both my friends and this forum have been talking for days about how good the fishing has been so I came down for the weekend to visit my parents and come fishing. Well I was at deerfield from 7am-12pm with nothing to show but a single ballyhoo.

[Chevy Juan]

Possibly a bad day man it happens.

[Cookinman]

Watch the weather when planning a trip. A stalled front is not such a great time to fish. Just before a front arrives the drop in pressure gets em snappin and a day or two afterwards....Fish are so sensitive to vibrations and pressure, I think a falling barometer lets em know to feast up before the seas start to churn. Then of course once the barometer stabilizes and the seas ARE up, the churn inshore gets em thinking food as little worms and crabs start to become exposed and the food chain begins..... Well, thats my theory anyway

[SnapperSnatcher]

Hey guys any type of bait out there ?? Runners, hoo's, ??

[avetlord1234]
