07/09/2011 Offshore Fishing Report Palm Beach

After a week of rain everyday I was not too optimistic about the fishing forecast over the weekend but Doug and I headed out early in search of the prized Hoo! We cleared the inlet around 530am and found relatively calm seas and a great weedline in 250'. I really thought this was the day to high speed troll for wahoo but all we caught was weeds before the storms fired up around 730am. After seeing a train effect set up on the storms from wpb to Miami, we decided to head in. Good thing we did because it rained for 4 hours. Would have been an unpleasant day. While trolling we did see a free jumping sail and lots of weeds in the blue water. What little wind there was, came from the south switching to the southeast and southwest with the storms. Water temps continue to be around 84. Seems a little cooler than this time last year.
