07/10/2011 Offshore Fishing Report Palm Beach

Chadd, Groff, and me hit the water around 7am. We tried to catch some bait but only managed a couple. Due to the storms in the forecast we headed out to drift to at least get a little fishing in. After one drift of nothing but little bits, we set up drift in 250' and were drifting NW. The wind finally picked up a little and a decent current began to help the fishing. After not catching much i decided to reset up in 140' and at least get some Bonito which sure enough was an easy target. We had 5 hit at one time. Always interesting with only 3 people but we managed to get all the fish in and helped make up for the slow morning. After the battles with the bonito, we headed in. There was very little wind and hardly a current out there. The winds were out of the east towards afternoon. Before heading in we decided to let the live bait out and almost immediately we had 3 mahi come up to the boat. They were small but still would have been fun to catch but the captain couldnt seal the deal. They took the bait but would not get the hook. It was tough to leave them biting but with storms approaching and the hot sun wearing us out, we headed in. I am hoping all this time we put in the bonito end up giving us a Wahoo!
