Hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day weekend. Labor Day signifies the end of summer for many. The benefits of living in south Florida, fun in the sun continues for us.
Saltwater side the snook are still gathering in the inlets and along the beaches. I have seen plenty of bigger snook on the move coming inside the ICW as well. Targeting seawalls and docks have been the key to success for the snook. Live bait and DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail bait of choice.
Tarpon fishing has been great near inlets and mangrove lined channels. Free lining live bait with the tide will get the bite. Doa Terror Eyz also a great bait to entice the silver king to strike. The bite for the Tarpon has been best on the first of the incoming and last of the outgoing tides. The Tarpon have been ranging in size from 10 to 50 pounds
Freshwater side the peacock bass bite has been fantastic due to the warmer water temps. The peacock bass are gathering near bridges, seawalls and docks, many of these fish can be sight fished. Live bait or Doa 3" shrimp or small Rapala x raps will get the strike.
Well that is a fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch. So get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Live bait is easy to catch now that summer vacation is over. Mahi, kingfish, snapper, sailfish, and wahoo are passing through. Mullet run right around the corner.

August is definitely living up to its potential, scorching heat and plenty of rod bending action for anglers. Winds continued to stay mild allowing for beach fishing as well as inshore fishing.
Snook always angler favorite, provided great action along beaches, inlets and inside the ICW along docks and seawalls. Live baits and DOA 3” shad tail in Mole’ color, choice baits this past week. Snook ranged in size from 2 to 20 pounds.
Mild winds and seas allowed for tarpon “fun in the sun” along the beaches. Live baits presented to the silver king produced acrobatic jumps and drag screaming runs for anglers. Those that prefer targeting inshore waters, plenty of juvenile tarpon to target using fly, live baits, or artificial lures. Outgoing tide produced the best bite this week do to the stronger tides.
Looking to wrack up a plethora of species to your resume. No problem the jacks, snapper, bluefish, mackerel, sharks and many other species are abundant near structures and channels. Bent rods always a plus and kids sure love seeing all the different sea creatures.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Finally the wind machine stopped for the Palm Beaches. Calm seas, light variable winds made for epic fishing. The sea weed along the beaches was still present, but the calm waters allowed for the sea weed to settle and anglers to sight fish crystal clear waters.
Beach fishing was fantastic the past week, calm waters allowed for bait schools to school in troughs along the beach. Plenty of bait signals predator species like snook, tarpon, jacks and sharks to feed on these bait schools. Snook could be seen cruising the shorelines in search of there next meal. Not far behind the snook, tarpon allowed anglers to sight fish and present live baits and DOA Terror Eyz in there path creating drag screaming action.
Inlet action for snook stayed consistent, DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail in Mole’ rigged with a 3/8oz jig, excellent bait of choice as well as live baits. Tarpon, jacks, sharks and snapper all species that offered steady action . Snapper fishing provided plenty of action for anglers along rock jetties and drop offs.
Inshore fishing anglers had a blast targeting big jacks on top water Rapala skitter walks, also catching bluefish and mackerel. Docks, sea walls and drops offs all great areas to target a plethora of species. Snook, tarpon, jacks always main target, but sometimes we are surprised with species we don’t see often in the ICW. This weeks surprise catch was an African pompano, caught by a JR angler.
Well that is the fishing reply for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines

Looks like the unseasonal wind is finally subsiding. Mutton snapper has been the highlight bottom fishing. King fish bonitos and mahi are around. I've been finding some Goliath grouper and large snook for the Instagram bros. Mullet run is right around the corner. Then the tarpon, snook, Jack, and blacktip...

I've been finding some Goliath grouper and large snook for the Instagram bros. Mullet run is right around the corner. Then the tarpon, snook, Jack, and blacktip sharks will be abundant. When this happens we always seem to find mahi offshore.

August has arrived signifying the heat is still on and this tends to be the hottest month for South Florida. If you can’t beat the heat, at least beat the fish in a tug of war match.
Windy conditions for the local palm beaches continued until the end of this past weekend, finally giving anglers a reprieve from turbulent conditions.
Snook fishing has been excellent along channel edges, docks, and sea walls. Moving water equals hungry fish. Live baits and DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail have been the baits of choice. Snook are ranging in size from 2 to 25 pounds.
Tarpon fishing has been hit and miss past week. I believe slower bite contributed to south wind and dirty water. Incoming tide cleaner water fish seemed to be happier taking live baits and DOA Terror Eyz worked along the bottom.
Deep holes and channel edges still offering jacks, bluefish, mackerel, snapper, sharks and many other species. Live baits great way to get fish fired up, but top water Rapala skitter walks and DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail also trigger strikes.
