Fishing Report 9/23/13

Inshore

The mullet have been thick off the beach in northern palm beach county. We had a school 3 football fields long one day this week with sharks, tarpon and snook busting through them. Try throwing a DOA Baitbuster or 5.5" cal tail into these schools of mullet. Further north the redfish are starting to school well on the flats. The Fort Pierce area has been best for us to find these fish, as well as trout and some snook. DOA Airheads and shrimp are the go to baits.

Offshore

Blackfin tuna continues to be our main target these past two weeks off Boynton Beach. Jiggging vertical jigs in 200-300' will give you shots at the blackfin as well as skipjack tuna and the occasional wahoo. The weight of your jig will depend on the current and wind. I always perfer to start light (3oz) and work my way up if need be. Pink, blue, silver, green are always the go to colors. Also try trolling a deep diver plug to snag a few of these tuna. We only tried live baiting one day this week, but it paid off with a 35lb kingfish. Blue runners and goggle eyes run on a #5 stinger rig is hard to beat.

Fishing Report 9/9/13

Inshore

The spillways in palm beach county have seen some good snook action these last few weeks. Try using DOA Terror eyz thrown up into the wash and slowly reeled back to entice a bite. Finding a slot fish maybe difficult as a lot of these fish are over 32". Fort pierce is still the place to be to avoid the Okeechobee drainage. We hit the power plant area looking to hook up on fly to the tarpon roaming the area. There were fewer fish than normal and we tried our best, but were unsuccessful. We switched gears and hit the flats and ended up with a bunch of slot sized trout. DOA Shrimp worked in 4 foot of water was the ticket that day.

Offshore

The live bait bite has slowed so we switched it up and went bottom bouncing of Juno Beach and Jupiter. We found a good mangrove, mutton and yellow tail snapper bite from 60-80 foot using dead sardines drifted near the bottom. The black fin tuna bite has intensified. We have been getting 6-8 a drift and losing just as many. Try using a 5oz vertical jig worked in 200-260 foot. Fish have been from 5-15lbs.

See you on the water.
