07/16/2011 Offshore Fishing Report Palm Beach

I headed out solo since it was extremely calm. Cleared the inlet around 715 and tried catching some bait however there was a nice cuda that decided he was going to mess with me for 30 minutes and steal my bait and sabikis. I finally got fed up and headed out to find some weeds or rips. I found a decent weed line in 85 but knew that was going to be Bonito heaven so i went out to 400' to some spotty weeds. Sure enough i caught a Bonito within 5 minutes of lines being in. Add some Trigger fish and remoras and i had a SoFlo Garbage Slam! You can also thrown in the 5 or 6 times i got bit off. Since i was going to the Jason Aldean concert, i decided to call it an early day so i could get some things done. Its nice to be able to just run out whenever i feel like it. Conditions were completely flat, a light variable wind. The moon was full and didnt set until 10am or so. I am thinking the day was slow because of the moon and lack of current. Photos below sum up my day on the water but at least it was peaceful after a long week of work!
