04-27-2013 Inshore Fishing Report Palm Beach

Doug, Andrew and I headed out for an evening trip on the flats after grabbing some live shrimp. We do not fish inshore much so expectations were low except for Doug's "one fish guarantee". We fish the late afternoon just north of Munyan Island as the tide just started rising from low tide. There were tons of mullet and sting rays but not much else so we headed over to the large flat area just east of Little Munyan Island. There is a deep channel on the east side of the flats that we anchored off and caught several Lane Snapper and a lady fish. Doug waded the flat area and landed his Barracuda to keep his guarantee! After the awesome sunset we fished the local dock lights and bridges. Andrew landed 2 moonfish but that was all we found. We had very breezy conditions with wind out of east and temps about 75 or so after the sunset. Water temp was in the low 80's and we fished the incoming tide. Not as fun as offshore fishing but it was nice to be out on the water.
