West Palm Beach Fishing Report

We cleared the inlet early hoping to redeem ourselves and found an incredible sunrise to boost our spirits. After seeing where the fish were and how the day before went, we didn't bother with the kite so we could get baits in the water asap. The cold fronts definitely had done their job by pushing fish down into our waters but were still off Jupiter more than Palm Beach. Had our first hookup at 715am in 120' of water and it was a +/-15lb King landed by Tyler. Second hookup of the day was at 735am and it was the long awaited Sailfish. Only downside is the hook was pulled after about a one minute fight. After that we had a lull in the action other than sharks. We decided to bottom fish off Singer with no luck so we then headed offshore around 11am in search for weeds. We found massive patches of weeds but were only able to pull a 4lb Tripletail off them. After that we ran into a huge school of skipjack and put 3 in the cooler before heading in. All in all it was a good day considering the day before and the shaky start to the morning. Just happy to be fishing in warm weather and calm seas in January!
