Palm Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Inshore Report June 15, 2006
Well summer time is here along with the brutal heat. The days are longer now, which means more time for fishing. The fishing on the flats has been great early in the morning; as the sun rises the fish go deeper. The Trout and Snook are holding in sand pockets through out the flats, waiting for any bait to come into their path. Live bait has worked the best, Finger Mullet, Greenies, Shrimp, Sand perch, and Pinfish. The best fishing has been on a high outgoing tide, fishing depths from 1 to 4 feet deep. The ladyfish and jacks are still around and will hit just about any tipped jig thrown to them.
The Lox River is still holding good quantities of Snook. Many of the docks in the river are holding Snook on both incoming and outgoing tides. Live baits will do the trick and if you have a lot of greenies, chumming will help bring the Snook out from the structure. The Snook are any where from 16” to 34”. The Fat Snook are still hitting with many of them taking live greenies or live shrimp under just about any dock. Once you find one there are more around in the same area. The big Jacks are still around at the mouth of the river on a high tide. These fish range from 1 pound to 15 pounds.
For the Palm Beach area the Snook bight has been great on an outgoing tide. On a clear day the Snook can be sight fished for. The bait of choice has been greenies and live shrimp. These fish range from 18” to 34”. The Tripletail bight has picked up with many of the fish caught near floating debree and pilings. Theses fish will take any small live bait or DOA shrimp. The Tripletail have been form 1 to 8 pounds.
The night fishing has been excellent now that the Snook season is over. Almost every dock has Snook ambushing baits as they flow with tide. Live shrimp, small finger mullet grennies and small crank baits will do the trick. The smaller fish are always the feistiest and tend to get to the bait first. Fishing the dark shadows will produce the bigger fish. The Tripletail has also been great at night hanging around dock pilings. When spotting these fish they lay flat and look like a sea grape leave floating on top. Try and look for any little movement or ripples.

The Freshwater fishing. Let me start off by saying it is on fire. The Peacock Bass fishing is spectacular and should continue until our weather becomes cooler again. The Peacocks range from 1 to 7 pounds and will take live shiners, spinner baits, small jigs, and top water. The Peacocks Bass have been podding together. I counted one pod having over 10 fish swimming the shoreline. The Largemouth Bass bight is also great with many of the fish averaging 3 pounds and up to 8 pounds. Many of the fish are caught on shiners or crankbaits. The Largemouth are chasing bait pods all over the lake making for exciting action.
The Snook spawn, we are only weeks away from the prime of the spawn. So if you would like to hook into a huge spawn Snook or go after the hard pulling Peacock Bass give Capt. Craig Korczynski a call at 561-644-4371 or email me at [email protected]. Visit WWW.PhlatsInshoreFishing.Com For more information.
