Palm Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
The snook bight. WOW. It has been incredible the fish are active and are feeding on shrimp, mullet, pinfish, sand perch, and croakers. The bight has been excellent on an out going tide at night and early morning. At night it is possible to see a hundred snook around the docks.
The snook are ranging from 16” to 29” around the docks and 26” to 40” around bridges and the inlets. Remember snook season is open and the slot for them is 26” to 34”.
Mixed around the docks at night with the snook are slot sized mangrove snapper, black drum, and the bait robbing lookdowns. Lately there has been a lot of tripletail inside which I am very excited about because it does not happen to often. Last week I had a 13-year-old named troy hook into a 10 lb. tripletail on a live shrimp.
The tarpon are on the beach from Palm Beach Inlet down to the Boynton Inlet the tarpon are ranging from 20 pounds up to 100pounds. The smaller tarpon are inside the inlet at night feeding on shrimp on the outgoing tide.
The snook islands in Lake Worth are holding BIG bull sharks, and black tips feeding on what I call submarine size mullet. Both the incoming and the out going tide the sharks are there, occasionally you will see a black tip get airborne.
Moving north up to Hobe sound flats the trout are hitting top water spooks early in the morning in 2 to 3 feet of water. The ladyfish are also there and will eat every shrimp you got. The sheep head and snapper are hitting jigs tipped with shrimp in 3 to 5 feet of water.
The Hobe sound bridge is holding black drum on the out going tide there also hitting shrimp. I got report that a couple of red fish have been caught mixed in with the black drum.
Well that the report for this week. Go get you r lines wet and caught some fish GOOD LUCK.
