The surf was crashing in about 10' this morning, I went anyway. Catching bluefish around 6-7# is tough enough on a calm, smooth day, but throw in 25 mph winds, huge groundswell and dragging in 5# of seaweed wrapped around the blue, that's a tough outing. I caught few and left. Went to a nearby brackish canal, one side of the spillway is nothing but bass, the brackish side you just never know. I catch a few very tiny lady fish and see this gigantic fin, so I run back to the car to get a heavier outfit, 20 minutes no fish.......I was ticked. Tried another spot in this canal where I've caught jacks and snook but nothing doing, fished for bass in maybe 4 other locations on my way home, puny fish. Got home and did my twice yearly senko attack, caught some but gotta say, there is nothing I dislike more than fishing with a senko, rather watch paint dry on a barn at midnight.

You've got to get a surf board.

I went out to Pompano Pier Sunday to check out the surf at 2PM. It was incredible seeing the monster waves pass just a few feet under the pier. A lot of fisherman were out there, but I didn't see anything caught.

I don't fish piers, been on them twice, once took a walk with out rod at Anglins after dinner and tried to fish lake Worth when opened it, I lasted 5 minutes and I was gone. Piers are way to high for my kind of fishing and heavier tackle is required, they are good for the bait soaker crowd, 40# kingfish have recently been caught at Juno Pier. I fish a jettie, which is quite a bit closer to the water, sadly the Boynton Beach jetties were raised 2', don't fish it nearly as much as I used to. Surf has been so high the north jettie has been closed for several days, we used to have people getting washed over, now they put a railing, we liked it better with no railing.

I fished the Boynton Beach jetty years ago. The fishing used to be pretty good for some of the guys although I never had much luck.

We used to get a laugh at the folks who were dressed up for dinner or date strolling out there, only to get a sea water bath when they weren't looking..

The only way I pier fish is with live blue runners(or whatever I can catch))and a big balloon above the leader and sling it out there to the reef.

Look like this ? It's been re done, 2 feet higher now.......no one likes it, especially the railings

Bait soakers at the end, casters closer to the beach.snook and tarpon heaven.

It looked different back in the late 70 & early 80's when I fished there. I remember it being rocks with some concrete on it. It looks more pedestrian now. We used to jump off the bridge on the top of the incoming tide for kicks. We(me and friends) were foolish idiots.

Not an usual day at the inlet in fall or winter, Boynton inlet can be treacherous.

Treacherous is an understatement, it is borderline dangerous. The channel is narrow and the current rips through there.

Those pics are typical. I hope the guy that got air born was OK.

That photo is from a newspaper, that guy fell off the back of the boat into the inlet. Story has it he swam to shore and the guys in the boat went fishing......lol. Not that I condone this, but I see no more than 1 person out of a hundred wearing a life vest, except the kayaker's, who regularly go out the inlet. Those kayakers are crazy, even though they are out in only 3 feet and less seas, boats can't see them even going at a slow speed, trim tabs don't lower the bow enough. A few have flags (can't see the flags either), blinking lights on a mast should be required by law.
