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.

4/20/2013 Offshore Fishing Report Jupiter Inlet to Boynton Beach Inlet

We fished the 33rd Annual WPB Boys and Girls Club KDW with Captain Steve on the TideRunner. Blue sat this one out since it was supposed to be suspect weather conditions plus its hard to pass up a chance to fish on a 34' Venture. Anyhow we had plenty of small blue runners and bought some goggle eyes on our way out. We headed down to just north of Boynton Beach since that is where we had heard the kings were biting. Within seconds of having lines in we had a knocked down on one of the blue runners and fish was on. I grabbed the rod and the fish was peeling line then pop...fish off. Pulled the line in and the fish bit through the wire. Other than that we landed a bull shark probably about 175-200lbs and that was it. We fishing in Boynton for a couple of hours, Palm Beach for a little bit then finished the day off Jupiter. Tough day all around as we heard a lot of people struggling to find the fish. Obviously not fun when you are in a tournament but still had a great day on the water with Captain Steve.

3/15/2013 and 3/16/13 - Offshore Fishing Report Palm Beach

We fished each day this weekend and struggled to find fish despite having more live bait than we needed. We had a couple of hits probably from sharks or big kings but nothing to show for it. We did some bottom fishing with frozen sardines and picked up some bonito, blue runners, remora, and small jacks. We trolled all over from lost tree to breakers without even a knockdown. The seas were very flat on Saturday and sloppy on Sunday. Saturday was sunny and Sunday was overcast with very few breaks of sun. Temperatures were cooler than average both days.
