Fishing Forecast 4/9/16

Inshore

More and more bait will be moving into the river to supply our game fish with plenty to eat.  Bigger snook, trout, jacks and reds will be looking for mullet pattern baits like super spooks and large swimbaits. If you find glass minnows schools match the hatch with a DOA shad tail. If you find mullet, whip out a super spook or large swim bait. Structure is always key to finding fish. Try launching at the kayak launch on Lake Ave in Lake Worth. This launch will give you access to snook islands, the Lake Worth Bridge, seawalls and docks.   

Offshore

It is that time of year when fishing is just on fire. Mahi will be closer to shore to give you a better shot at them. Larger kings will also be more abundant. Trolling live goggle eyes and runners will put fish in the yak. I like to fish slow, going only about 1.5 mph. This will keep slack out of your line as well as keep your baits swimming naturally. Mahi are one fish that always seem to give my clients trouble in regards to landing them. Remember to wear the fish out as much as you can if you plan on keeping it. Take the gaff shot, get it in the yak and quickly get your legs on top of the fish to make sure it doesn’t take one last jump right back into the water. Have fun out there!

Fishing forecast 3/10/16

Inshore

Spring is in full swing.  Glass minnows will be the bait to match the hatch this month. Artificial baits like DOA Cal Shad Tails, jerk bait and terror eyes will work well around the mangroves docks and bridges. Launching your kayak inside the John D. MacArthur Beach State Park should produce trout and snook along the mangroves when the tide is moving. 

Offshore

April will start to bring bigger pushes of blackfin tuna to the area.  Vertical jigging 230-350 feet will produce on 4-8lbers on average. Don’t overlook trolling plugs like Yozuri Crystal Minnows to pick up a few tuna as well.  One place great place to start to look for tuna is Boynton Inlet. This launch allows you to reach the fishing grounds within a mile of shore.  Sailfish, mahi, kings and wahoo are all on the menu this time of year. Working the normal goggle eyes and blue runners will give you the best shot at a hook up.  Finally don’t forget about the cobia. Bouncing the reef will put you in line for one of these tasty fish.
