Mullet is all I have to say. Find them and you will find the fish. We have been fishing Hobe Sound to Palm Beach Inlet on the beach and inshore. Hitting the beach before sunrise will give you the best shot at snook, tarpon , sharks and spanish mackerel. Try throwing DOA airheads or 5.5" cal jerk baits into the schooling mullet. Of course don't forget to net some mullet to free line on a circle hook. In the river we have been fishing areas that are just stacked with mullet and it has been hard to get a bite on artificial or even a live bait. We switched tactics by using mullet heads on the bottom to pick off the lazy tarpon, snook and even trout.

On September 28th I was lucky enough to take the top spot at the Extreme Kayak Fishing Tournament in Pompano Beach. My 34.3lb king fish taken at noon on a live blue runner was big enough to win big pelagic, king fish calcutta and 1st place overall. In the Boynton Beach area the live bait fishing has slowed once again. If your patient and stick it out you can pick off some nice kings in 80-120'. Grab your net and take some mullet out with your runners and goggle eyes as the pelagic's will pick them off just as well. The balckfin bite is still good on the jig, but the size quality has gone down. Most fish are running in the 2-4lb range.
