03/23/2014 Offshore Palm Beach Fishing Report

Carrie, Becca, Doug and I cleared the inlet around 8am with a low cloud deck but very calm seas. We headed south in about 30' of water thinking we would catch some blue runners around The Breakers. Luckily, we hit a huge pod of sardines and loaded up with the sabikis. We also managed a few blue runners for shark bait! Since it was so calm we pushed offshore just east and south of The Breakers and found a decent weedline in 390'. Within seconds of tossing in a live sardine we had a dolphin on. Becca boated the first one then Carrie put one in the cooler and Doug finished the dolphin slaying by adding another to the cooler. We had a fourth but he jumped off. Great way to start the day considering the previous trip. After that we headed in shallow to try bottom fishing with not much luck. We headed offshore again and found weeds from 300' all the way to 1000'. We had another dolphin spotted but he would not bite. He looked like he was feeding with birds hovering but not luck. The girls wanted to catch a shark so we slow trolled some blue runners off Singer Island from Tierra to the inlet with no luck. We zig zagged from 20' to 60' and finally got a bite in 55'. Line started screaming from the Always and Forever rod! Doug took over and got it up to the boat only to find out it was a monster Kingfish! Estimated about 40lbs! Great way to cap off a pretty good day. Temps were in the mid to upper 80's and it was sunny once the skies cleared around 9am. Winds were from the W, NW and switched to the SE in the afternoon but were light. Seas were 1' or less building to 2' as the afternoon went on.
