06/26/2011 Offshore Fishing Report Palm Beach

Luke, Kim, LJ, and I hit the inlet around 7am to find 2-4' swells which were a surprise. It may be just me but the weather folks have been awful this year. I am not sure i have seen them get the winds/waves right once so far. Even the day of they seem to get it wrong. I am about fed up with them. Anyhow, once we caught a couple of Bonito, Kim decided it was time for her to go in due to the high seas. After some quality time at Sailfish Marina, we saw a sign from the fishing gods...a giant turtle! We tossed our baits out and sure enough landed a 25lb Cobia! LJ capped off the day with a another Bonito and nice Mutton Snapper. Weedlines were tough to find but we did find a few in 80' of water which is where we got the Cobia. The Snapper was in 140'. Another great trip with the Varadis.

Conditions were terrible for cruising around looking for dolphin so plan b worked pretty well.
