North Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – You may not believe it but all the hot bites have been coming from the offshore this week. Snook are the most consistent inshore target, but don’t worry, they’re doing well into this week despite the hit or miss weather. Inlets, docks, beaches, seawalls and rivers are all holding decent fish. No matter where you go it seems you will run into some Snook. They are also not picky on bait. Our Captains and Bait Shops seem to be using a wide variety of setups and still finding plenty of success. Scattered Tarpon and Pompano can also be caught, mostly from the beach. They haven’t quite become consistent yet. We hope to see the inshore improve as the season progresses.

OFFSHORE – If you are able to make it offshore this week you will have no problem loading up on a good variety of fish that are turning up in decent sizes as well. There is no question that Dolphin are taking the prize for best fish so far this week. From Juno to Fort Lauderdale they are consistently turning up, the only difference being the depth they are found in. Once you hit your spot, troll a skirted Ballyhoo and get ready for a great bite! Anglers are also getting pumped about the upcoming full moon because you know what that means, Wahoo! They are already beginning to fire up so anglers are taking every opportunity to head to 100-300 feet of water around the Lake Worth to Deerfield areas. The occasional Sailfish and Tuna are also mixed in. When weather keeps anglers nearshore the focus has shifted to the bottom bite. Snapper and Cobia can be caught a bit closer in taking live bait. 90 feet has been a key depth to start in. There has been no shortage of options offshore this week.

INSHORE – Big Bluefish are on the beach from Blowing Rocks to the North, about 20 feet deep. They can be caught from the boats. Pompano (Pompano, Florida) are in good numbers swimming the beach from Juno North. Big Bluefish are also in the river. Jacks (Jack, Crevalle) and Ladyfish are also being caught. Snook (Snook, Common) are holding up on the jetties. They aren’t really thick but they’re becoming more active.

OFFSHORE – There has been some Blackfin (Tuna, Blackfin) with schoolie Dolphin this week. Cobia and Kings (Mackerel, King) have been caught as well. Search for them to the North in 100-110 feet of water. The bottom bite has been a bit slower overall. Sails (Billfish – Sailfish) and Wahoo have been caught but they are not consistent. Sails are around 220 feet of water. Most anglers are starting at the edge. Dolphin are coming right up to the top.

BAIT REPORT – There hasn’t been much on bait as of late. Small schools of Mullet are getting ready to fire up in the backcountry.

North Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – They are finally here! Better Tarpon are beginning to show up this week and anglers have long awaited to target them with the early Spring conditions. We are seeing a good variety of techniques working well to hook them from Jupiter to Fort Lauderdale however we are mostly seeing live bait as the key to hooking them. Mullet, Shrimp, Bonito slabs and Kingfish bellies are all good choices this week. We expect that they will be moving into their typical feeding spots as long as the weather stays consistent.
Snook are a great follow up fish this week. They are steadily turning up throughout the inlets and don’t seem to be too picky in terms of what they will feed on. Otherwise, anglers are heading to the beach for scattered Pompano, Whiting or Bluefish.

OFFSHORE –
If you’re heading offshore this week you’re probably out there taking advantage of the hot Dolphin bite! From Jupiter to Fort Lauderdale we are seeing success with many anglers landing good numbers of Mahi. They are scattered throughout the offshore in typical depths however live bait on the troll has been the key to catching them. Blue/white or pink/white combinations are best in terms of artificials.
There are plenty of other fish to target in the deep water as well. We are seeing nice sized Tuna turning up along with Kingfish up to almost 40 pounds. Sails are also mixed in anywhere from 100-300 feet of water. The bottom bite is producing a variety of Snapper as well, especially out of the Jupiter and Juno areas. We hope to see everything continue with the nice weather into next week.

North Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – If you’re heading out to the surf or the inshore this week you’ll want to look towards Jupiter as the Miami area was blown out! The wind has kept many anglers waiting for weather windows to take advantage of the bite. This week, the focus has been on Snook. Your typical areas are holding the best fish however a full moon is what will fire them up. The night bite has been successful for those casting live bait, especially with the bait run beginning in Deerfield.
The day bite is considerably slower this week. When you can find an area with some shelter or a break in the wind you might be able to see some of the scattered Pompano, Bluefish and Sharks running the beach. If you are lucky enough to be able to get onto the reefs, they will be holding decent sized Cobia as well. Once things calm down we suspect that the fish will be feeding on the bait run as the Mullet make their way in and the Sardines head to the rock piles off the beach.

OFFSHORE – This week the weather is cool but the bite is hot, hot, hot! We are still getting a lot of Tuna including Yellowfin, a Bluefin or two, Blackfin and even some Skipjack. The numbers are consistently good from Jupiter to Fort. Lauderdale. Head to 120 feet of water for consistently good sizes of Blackfin from 5 to 8 pounds with bigger sizes mixed in.
There have been reef fish including Kings swimming both nearshore and offshore along the coast. Sails are mixed in with the Kings towards Jupiter however by the time we make our way to Fort Lauderdale they have become, still consistent, but scattered from in close to farther offshore. Normally they are slow at this time of year however they are still quite active into this week. From the bottom, the Snapper are providing the hotter bite. A variety of species have been caught using Sardines as well as Squid throughout the area. Amberjack are beginning to stack up on the deeper reefs as well.

North Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – Anglers have finally had some reports of Cobia close to the beach in Lake Worth. We are hoping the weather treats us to a few opportunities to get on them. Jetty fishermen are doing very well on Snook at night around bridges and dock lights, daytime jetty fishing is also good. If you are unsure of where to go, try Deerfield or Fort Lauderdale and bring some topwaters. Don’t be surprised if you hook a few Jacks and Snapper when using Shrimp. Fishing Headquarters out of Fort Lauderdale has reported bigger Tarpon in the area. The fish have been extremely difficult to get a bite out of. Down in Miami, Government Cut in the bay near the key has produced good amounts of Tarpon.

OFFSHORE – The bottom bite for Snapper has been slow early in the week on account of the wind. This is normally a good thing however because the fish are usually less pressured when you finally get a chance to target them. We caught up with Fishing Headquarters running out of Fort Lauderdale and they reported decent Amberjack fishing around the shipwrecks in 200 feet of water. You will also hook a pile of catch and release Grouper from the bottom. The offshore trolling bite was really hit or miss from Miami up to Jupiter. The better bite was to the South. Wahoo reports were fairly slim unless you were able to get close to the Bahamas. Look to see Dolphin fishing pick up off of West Palm Beach as new debris and weedlines should show up. A mix of Tuna and Bonito were readily caught out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Bonito were up to 5 pounds. Moving closer in, Kingfish have been biting in around 85 feet of water with the odd Sailfish mixed in. Sailfishing should resume following the week’s early wind events.

North Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – Jacks and Snook have been on the bite this past week in Southeast Florida. The Jacks in particular have been blowing up Mullet, the Lake Worth/Boynton area is fishing especially well for them. For the Snook, just a Shrimp under a cork will get the job done in most situations this week. From Deerfield to Miami, you can also find a pretty decent Tarpon bite inshore so long as you are using baits that are very lively.

OFFSHORE – Sailfishing was pretty interesting over the past 10 days. Fort Lauderdale and Miami’s Sailfish bite was on prior to the weekend, then it seemed to shut down. A lot of the boats taking part in the Sailfish tournament elected to move north to Pompano beach where quite a few Sailfish ended up being released. Aside from good amounts of Kingfish in 90 to 150 feet of water, there were some very big Blackfin Tuna caught from north of Miami down around to the Keys. Miss Britt Charters out of Miami even boated a few 30 pounders.

West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – Snook and Jack Crevalle were the hot catches this week. They are being caught on DOA lures, Yo Zuri Minnow patterns and bait. Most of the fish have been caught throughout inlets and sea walls. There were also some Cobia up to 50 pounds on the beaches at Jupiter and Juno.
There has been some good Sheepshead opportunities throughout the Southeast but they do slow down as you hit warmer water. Good sized Tarpon have been showing up in Fort Lauderdale. We are expecting that bite to heat up over the next few weeks.

OFFSHORE – They always say there are plenty of fish in the sea, that couldn’t be more true for Florida’s Southeast Coast. Gulf Stream fishing produced a few Swordfish in approximately 800 feet of water. There are also some Tilefish being caught in the same depth from Deerfield on down to Pompano beach. Boats out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale had a really good week catching everything from Sailfish on kites to Dusky Sharks in 500 feet of water.

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – Bluefish have been peppering the beaches from Jupiter to Fort Lauderdale. Don’t be surprised if there is some Spanish Mackerel mixed in. It should be a good time to be throwing spoons or plugs into the surf.
Snook are slowly heating up in the lower stretches of Southeastern Florida. Most popular lures are Flair Hawks and SpoolTeks. A few of the beaches North of Deerfield are offering up some good Pompano action. If you are looking to get into Jacks or Barracuda they have been in particularly good numbers around the Pompano Beach area.


OFFSHORE – The offshore boats have been doing very well on King Mackerel this week. From Jupiter all the way down to Miami the Kingfish have been caught in no less than 85 ft and no deeper than 125 ft, with the exception of Fort Lauderdale anglers finding some big Kings in 150 ft of water. The gulf stream provided a good Wahoo bite this past week. From the waters off of Juno Beach getting heavier around Pompano Beach and slowing down a bit South of Hollywood anglers are finding Wahoo. Sailfish have been sporadic throughout. A lot of boats are spending their time live baiting or trolling in 150-250 ft. Boats trolling anywhere from 200-500 ft all throughout the region have been finding some weeds along with some Dolphin. Cobia, Lane Snapper, and Vermilion Snapper have been caught off of Jupiter and Juno in roughly 100 ft of water. Yellowtail Snapper have been slow from Lake Worth down to Boca Raton. Bottom fishing has been a bit slow in Southeast Florida. Except for a good Yellowtail bite in 60-90 ft of water out from Miami.

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – The Inshore fishing is fantastic all through the Icw, do to the abundance of Mullet that has migrated to our area. The Snook (Snook, Common) fishing is fantastic along sea walls, mangrove shorelines and bridges. Early morning and late afternoon is the best time for great Snook action. DOA bait busters in green back and mullet color patterns, provide anglers with explosive reaction strikes as lures are worked near bait pods. Live baits will also keep your rod bent, but the trick is to make you bait stand out from the others by using weight or altering the mullet by cutting the tail or different hook sets on the bait. The Snook have been averaging 2 to 20 pounds. The Tarpon fishing is excellent, along mangrove shorelines and channel drop offs. The Tarpon can be located as they roll on the surface and bust bait pods with a vengeance. Topwater heddon spook jr in bone or okee shad color and DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerkbait in pearl or glow and gold rush belly excellent artificial baits for the silver king. A live mullet free lined near rolling fish will definitely get the drag screaming. The Tarpon are averaging 5 to 50 pounds. The seawalls and docks are great areas for locating Jacks for those anglers in search of a tug a war. The Jacks (Jack, Crevalle) are schooled up, ambushing bait schools as they migrate down shorelines. The Jacks will hammer any live bait and DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerkbait in pearl that crosses their path. The average size of the Jacks has been 1 to 20 pounds. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch so get out there and



BAIT REPORT – September comes to an end but the end triggered the start, of an excellent Mullet run in south Florida.

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – August comes to an end, but not with out a little fear. We dodged a storm but typically September and October are the most active. The temperatures are still scorching, hopefully Florida can prevail without any harm from named storms. The inshore fishing provided steady action along with some drastic high and low tides. The high tides made it tough at times to fish the mangrove shorelines for Snook (Snook, Common) and Tarpon. These predatory fish venture in the mangroves maze of roots, making it difficult to present a bait to them. The outgoing tide for Snook has been great, Snook season will be opening September 1st. The Mullet run soon will begin in our area, providing fishing mayhem on the water. The Snook are feeding on bait schools near sea walls, bridges and grass flats. DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerkbait in Arkansas glow and glow / gold rush belly on a 1/8 DOA premium jig head, excellent artificial bait for the Snook. Heddon super spooks work great during low tide for Snook lurking along channel edges. The average size of the Snook has ranged from 2 to 18 pounds. The ICW provided great action for Jacks (Jack, Crevalle). These fish are incredibly strong offering a great fight, even for the experienced angler. Topwater Heddon spooks in bone color or bone and chartreuse trigger massive surface strikes. The Jacks ferociously chase down a DOA C.A.L. 5.5 inch jerkbait in pearl rigged on a 6/0 weedless hook. The Jacks pound for pound are the one of the strongest fish in the ICW. The Jacks are averaging in size from 2 to 30 pounds. Freshwater action has produced great fishing for Peacock Bass. The only issue has been the water levels, SFWM has discharged massive amounts of water in our local lake and canals. Dropping water levels to low levels exposing Banks and fish beds. Once the water levels rise the fish will gather back to shorelines and beds along the banks. DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerk baits in pearl and candy corn rigged weedless on a 4/0 wide gap hook, excellent bait for peacocks lurking along shorelines and docks. Live Shiners on a cork a great method for beginners or producing steady action for the kids. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, I hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! Capt. Craig Korczynski, PhlatsInshoreFishing.com, 561-644-4371 PRO ANGLER APP USERS – With this system pushing through most of Florida, we expect a lot of wind and tough conditions. Most of the fishing from last week should fire back up once the storm passes. Expect to see the rainfall cool off inshore waters. This will help some of the fish that prefer cooler conditions. Stay informed on all the coming weather systems using your Pro Angler App!



BAIT REPORT – The Mullet run soon will begin in our area, providing fishing mayhem on the water. Bait schools are near sea walls, bridges and grass flats.

The full moon and extreme high and low tides, triggered some really good fishing in the palm beach county area. The beaches offered fantastic snook action for anglers walking or fishing by boat. The Snook (Snook, Common) were visible to anglers as they ambushed bait schools in the troughs. Fly anglers enjoyed great action with deceiver and clouser flies. DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad in pearl and glow holographic on a 1/16 ounce premium DOA jig head, excellent bait for the lurking linesiders in the surf. Local inlets still provided action for big Snook, live Mullet or Croakers sent to the bottom triggered strikes. DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerk bait in glow and gold rush belly along with Bayou Tiger on a DOA premium 3/8 ounce jig, rounded up snook weighing up to 25 pounds. Snook in the ICW were active along docks and seawalls on the incoming tide and first of the outgoing. Live Greenies and DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerk bait, best choices to get the drag screaming. Tarpon are being found in the Icw near drop offs and mangrove shorelines. The best action for the Tarpon has been morning and evening, using live Greenies and Heddon spook Jr. in bone color. The outgoing tide has provided the best action. A great tactic for Tarpon along channel edges, is jigging DOA bait busters in green back or mullet pattern. The beaches are still providing action for Tarpon. Those fish tend to be very spooky so live baits free lined is the best bet, along with a light leader. The docks, seawalls and grass flats have provided great action for anglers using and live baits and artificial lures. The Jacks (Jack, Crevalle), Snapper (Snapper, Gray), Drum (Drum, Black) and Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) have been the main predators being caught. Clean water has offered the best bite along with moving water. Live baits free lined near the structure or pot holes trigger strikes. A great search bait is a DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerk baits on a weedless hook worked near sea walls docks and grass flats. Working the DOA C.A.L. quickly on the surface can trigger reaction strikes or fish that give chase, allowing the angler to locate fish in the area. Freshwater action, the full moon triggered the peacock bass bite and many of the fish on the beads were active and willing to eat. Popper flies, DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad on a chugger head and Heddon spook jr all great baits to trigger peacocks to strike. Sight fishing the peacock bass along sea walls with a DOA shrimp another great method to get the rod bent. If live baiting is your style, a live shiner with a cork along a sea wall or dock piling sure will get the drag screaming. Well that is the report for the past week hope you all enjoyed. Remember you cant catch them from the couch so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! Capt.

A DOA Baitbuster in pearl /greenback rigged on a jig 3/8 ounce black jig head, excellent lure to entice the Snook to strike. If you prefer to live bait, snook willingly devour mullet and Pinfish placed in their vicinity. Snook season opens September 1 so if you would like to keep a Snook, be sure you have a Snook stamp. Anglers looking to tango with the Silver King (Tarpon), beaches and inside the ICW best areas to find the Tarpon. Look for rolling fish and present a live Greenie or Mullet on a circle hook and hold on tight. DOA Bait Buster in Mullet pattern or pearl color, deadly on Tarpon. The key with Tarpon is to present the bait ahead of them leading the fish or pod. This allows for a stealthy approach without spooking the Tarpon. Once a tarpon nears the bait, a little twitch or movement triggers the strike. The Tarpon range in size from 10 to 50 pounds. Always remember to bow your rod to the king, this is to avoid the break offs and hooks pulling out. The Docks and seawalls have provided great action. The Jacks (Jack, Crevalle), Snapper (Snapper, Gray), Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) and a few Redfish (Drum, Red) have been the main predators being caught. These fish have been biting when the tide is flowing ambushing bait schools as they look for shelter. Early morning and late afternoon has provided the best bite as water temperatures are cooler. Local freshwater canals and lakes are presenting great action for Peacock Bass using fly and DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad in candy corn and glow holographic colors.

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – August well known for providing scorching heat and plenty of humidity. The tropical breeze has been our only savior. Fishing early morning has given anglers calm conditions, avoiding afternoon thunderstorms. With school starting up next week, the waters will have less traffic for the serous fisherman. The Inshore fishing has provided plenty of action for anglers targeting Snook (Snook, Common). The Snook continue to gather in our local inlets and deep channels. Anglers hooking up with the linesiders averaging 5 to 25 pounds are enjoying catch and release trophy Snook. Live baits dropped to the bottom produce fish but a DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerkbait in glow / gold rush belly and bayou tiger provide the best results. Working the DOA C.A.L’s along the bottom with current is more gratifying then soaking a live bait on the bottom and sure puts a smile on the anglers face when they feel the strike. The Tarpon action has been great inside the inlets and in the ICW. Anglers looking to tango with the silver king, scan the waters surface for rolling fish. Once the tarpon are located, present a live greenies or pinfish in their vicinity. DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerk bait on a quarter ounce jig head in Arkansas glow and glow holographic, great colors to present to rolling fish. The Tarpon have ranged in size from 10 to 50 pounds. Always remember to bow down while a Tarpon is jumping, this helps to avoid break offs and hooks pulling out. The Docks and seawalls have provided great action for anglers using topwater heddon spooks, a slow walk the dog retrieve provides explosive topwater strikes. Live Threadfins soaked around structure will provide many hook ups for anglers. The Jacks (Jack, Crevalle), Snapper (Snapper, Gray) and a few Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) have been the main predators being caught along the grass flats and channel edges. These fish have been ambushing bait schools as they look for shelter. Early morning and late afternoon has provided the best bite. Freshwater action peacock bass have been the main target and the bite has been great. Fly anglers are enjoying top water strikes on popper flies, nothing beats a surface strike. Peacocks are very aggressive so any hard bait or soft plastic worked along shorelines, bridges and docks will provide hook ups. Live shiners are another choice for anglers, they are expensive but they always get the job done. Sight casting to peacock bass is a blast, DOA shrimp in copper crush or fire tiger my go to lure. Present the DOA shrimp in the peacock bass vicinity and game on. Well that is the report for the past week hope you all enjoyed.

Tarpon fanatics the beaches are starting to calm, allowing boats to navigate in search of rolling fish. The bigger fish weighing 50 to 100 pounds are in depths from 10 to 25 feet of water, sunrise is the best time to target these fish. A live Mullet, Threadfin or pinfish worked near the bottom great bait to get the rod bent. The silver kings in the back bays and deeper channels offer steady action for light tackle anglers. These juvenile fish are averaging 5 to 30 pounds in size, schooling in pods of 10 to 15 fish.

Topwater plugs like a heddon spook jr entices great explosions well. Fly fishing is another great way to battles these colorful beauties, small deceivers and minnow patterns work great. The best thing about fishing in south Florida there are so many species to target in our local waters especially exotic species. Mayan Cichlids, oscars, clown knife fish and many others are caught will roaming the freshwater waterways. These species are very active as water temperatures rise and doa lures, fly fishing and live baits will get the rod bent. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! Capt. Craig Korczynski, www.PhlatsInshoreFishing.com, 5616444371

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – May is gearing up for spectacular fishing on the rise. The full moon of May brings extreme high tides as well as low, which in return signals breeding time for many species. Prepare all of your gear and get ready for the showdown. The Snook (Snook, Common) fishing continues to prevail, lots of big fish are around as they are waiting for the May full moon. The Snook are preparing to start spawning in the inlets and deep channels. The back bays and canals still offer great numbers of fish.. Average size of the Snook has been 15 to 35 inches. Live baits free lined along sea walls and shorelines produce big snook on the falling tide, Mullet and Threadfins have been the best baits to use for the Snook. Top water heed on spooks in bone and white chartreuse head great lures to entice snook to feed during low light hours. The inlets and channels edges DOA C.A.L. 4 inch in Arkansas glow and watermelon holographic rigged on a half jig head excellent baits for triggering the Snook to strike along the bottom. Beach fishing will start to heat up as seas calm and nothing beats a DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad tail in pearl rigged on a 1/8 ounce jig head to get your rod bent. Silver king lovers, your time is coming, the bigger tarpon are migrating down south to our area. These fish are schooled together and the average size of the fish will be around 50 to 100 pounds. The back bays and canals are holding 10 to 30 pound fish, which are a blast on light tackle. Live mullet free lined in front of the tarpon pods triggers strikes. Inlets live Sardines great bait to use rigged with a half ounce led near rock jetties on an outgoing tide. DOA bait busters in pearl and green back color great baits to cast up current and let bait preternaturally to schooling fish, just wait for the thump and and come tight and the game is on. The flats are teaming with a plethora of species right now do tonal the baits in the area. Black Drum (Drum, Black),Trout (Seatrout, Spotted), Snook, Jacks (Jack, Crevalle), Snapper (Snapper, Gray) and many others are willingly striking live baits free lined along bait schools for best results. Corks can be used for those needing an indicator. Fly anglers deceivers and popper flies great for working the flats creating surface strikes for the angler, nothing beats seeing strike. DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad and 4 inch jerk baits work great on the flats rigged weedless, work edges of baits schools and pot holes along the flats. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch. Tight Lines! Capt.

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – May has arrived and the fishing inshore will produce great catches for anglers. The baits schools start to show and seas begin to calm, get your ready it’s time for some rod bending action. Snook (Snook, Common) action is firing, docks, seawalls, and shorelines continue to be the main targets. The Snook are very active early morning and late afternoon. Live baits like Threadfins, Mullet and Pinfish free lined with a circle hook trigger strikes, corks may be used when working deeper holes this keeps the bait near surface creating disturbance for predator fish to key in on. Topwater heddon super spooks work great along seawalls and flats in a walk the dog manner, chartreuse head and bone back has been the best color as of late. Dock fishing nothing beats a DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad holographic or glow holographic on a quarter jig head. The glass minnow pods have been thick so mimic the bait schools and game on. Fly fishing deceivers in white or green back and white belly great choice for working the back waters, docks and seawalls, lighter the tippet the more strikes. The full moon coming this month will trigger the spawn for the Snook. This is the time when the big female fish gather in the local inlets, offering snook catches reaching double digit numbers. Tarpon are starting to show in local inlets but the big pods of fish are still migrating south from the Stuart area. The back bays still hold juvenile fish, these fish are willing to take small Mullet, Greenies and Pinfish. DOA C.A.L. 4 inch jerk baits holographic and glow holographic on a quarter ounce jig head get the tarpons attention. Look for rolling fish as signs of life in the area, be sure to get in front of the fish and avoid spooking them, stealth is the key. The grass flats are holding big schools of glass minnows and the Trout (Seatrout, Spotted), Snook, Jacks (Jack, Crevalle), Bluefish and many others are wreaking havoc on these baits. DOA C.A.L. 3 inch shad in holographic or pearl rigged weedless great tactic for getting strikes, fly anglers small deceivers and popper flies in white or gummy minnows perfect flies for getting the rod bent. Freshwater side the peacock bass continue to provide explosive action for top water lure and flies. From sun up to sundown the action is consistent. Angler looking to produce big numbers live shiners will great as well. Artificial enthusiasts DOA C.A.L 3 inch shad in candy corn rigged weedless or with a chugger head is deadly bait for peacock and largemouth bass as well. The large mouth bass are very aggressive along the edges of channels and along sea walls. Early morning and evening anglers top water heddon spook jr in baby bass or okee shad excellent colors for consistent hook ups. Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you cant catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! Capt.

INSHORE – Snook (Snook, Common) and Tarpon have been swimming the inshore this week. The sizes are fair and the numbers are consistent. Live Shrimp has been the key to hooking them this week. Similar artificials such as a Vudu Shrimp by Egret is generally a great bet as well. The fish will be moving at this time of year so take a look around creek mouths and passes to find them. This is a great sign of a Spring bite setting in. Anglers gearing up can always check out our Fish feature which provides tons of tips and tricks to keeping your lines tight.

OFFSHORE – Cobia, Dolphin and Sails (Billfish – Sailfish) have all shown up in the offshore this week. Anglers are excited to see the bigger fish arriving back in.

We expect these results to continue into the weekend. If you are heading out you can always consult our Fish Guide which provides additional information to help keep your lines tight!

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – There has been a lot of action happening inshore this week. Jacks (Jack, Crevalle), Mackerel, Bluefish and a small amount of Tarpon are biting around the bridges. There are also a few good Snook, Common around the bridges at night that can be caught on live Mullet. Anyone fishing the beaches should be using topwater spooks, spoons or popper for best results. There are a few reports of Pompano, Florida being caught last week however with the wind it’s been harder for anglers to get to the nearshore. The inlets aren’t bad as they block some of the wind. Incoming tide has been the preference however outgoing has not been bad this week either.

OFFSHORE – There has been a great Billfish – Sailfish in the area lately. The tournament last weekend did not see favorable weather conditions however despite this, the winner managed to reel in 11 releases. The weather is better now and the bite is expected to be even greater. They are loving Goggleyes so which happen to be running right now. Dolphin are also biting right on the edge of the reefs around 80-150 ft. of water. They are loving naked Ballyhoo on the troll. Grand Slam Sportfishing Supply 561-841-2848

North-West Palm Beach Fishing Report

INSHORE – Mackerel, Spanish are continuing to do well in the surf along with some Bluefish and Jack, Crevalle. Shiny spoons or lures are the best bet for these fish this week. The Snook, Common bite has slowed down now that the temperature has begun to drop and they have become less active. Anglers willing to cast net Mullet have been finding it very effective as a surf bait as well.

OFFSHORE – The Mahi (Dolphin) bite has been doing well this week despite the wind. Bottom fishing has been better. Anglers dropping Sardines or Squid will do well with Snapper (Snapper, Mutton & Snapper, Gray). There have even been reports of the occasional Cobia this week. 75 ft. deep is roughly the key depth to catching any of the species if anglers can take on the conditions.

BAIT REPORT – Mullet are running pretty thick this week and working well for inshore fish.

North – West Palm Beach

INSHORE – Snapper, Mutton is really the only species biting inshore at this time. They are chasing Squid or Finger Mullet and the bite is pretty strong. Previously, there were solid numbers of Bluefish and Mackerel, Spanish that were following Mullet, however they are pretty well vacant at this point.

OFFSHORE – The bite farther out has been pretty steady as of late. Tuna, Blackfin are swimming in roughly 200 ft of water. Anglers are bringing lures out to hook them as opposed to live bait. They are smaller sizes at this time however are expected to get bigger soon. Everyone has been looking for Wahoo although they have not been reeling any in, and those who have, have reported them being quite small. The water is still a little warm so once the cooler weather sets in during the next few weeks our sources expect these results to increase.

BAIT REPORT – There is a thick Mullet run moving through this area, so live baiters should not have a problem stocking up.
