July 20 2014 Offshore Palm Beach Fishing Report

It was like deja vu but me, the old man, Matt and Joyce headed out bright and early. We were determined to fight through the bonita for a summer sail however there were huge mats of weeds in 250' out so we couldn't pass that up. Within a few minutes of being out there we hooked a couple of keep dolphin. Just barely keepers at about 21" but since it was my old man's first dolphin we kept them for dinner. We did see a sailfish freejumpin in 400' but could not get him to bite. Seas were a little sloppy to start the day but got dead flat as the morning went on. We fished until about 11am then headed in to call it a day. All in all we ended up with 5 mahi and a 15lb skipjack that mean some Ahi Tuna! Caught the skipjack on a freelined ballyhoo. Caught the dolphin on anything that we through. Water was much clearer today with the SE winds overnight.
