Fishing Report 2/23/14

Inshore

Pompano fishing has been pretty productive as of late. Fishing the flats close to an inlet will provide you the best opportunity. We have got them on both incoming and outgoing tides. DOA shrimp in watermelon glitter has been the go to lure. The trout bite has been good in the Fort Pierce area. Slot size fish have been caught in good numbers with some gator trout almost every trip. Popping a DOA shrimp in pot holes has worked well. Redfish have been hit and miss, but you can find these guys close to the mangroves right now. Try throwing a DOA jerk bait or, my favorite, a DOA shrimp up close to mangroves during the higher tides.

Offshore

Sailfish have been caught in good numbers in the Boynton Beach and Delray areas. A live blue runner or goggle eye hooked to a 7/0 circle hook and 40lb fluorocarbon will do the trick. Dolphin are also still being caught off Boynton Beach. We had a few good days of really nice weed lines in the 250-350' areas. The same bait set up will work for these guys. Cobia are also starting to show up in good numbers. Try drifting the reefs in 60-80' in the southern region bouncing a DOA swimming mullet. In the Stuart area look to target 50-60' drifting blue runners and have a pitch rod ready with a swimming mullet tied on for passing fish.
