Palm Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Second week of January brought a big moon, resulting in extreme high tides, cleaning up water, but pushing fish back into structured areas.
Snook fishing has been great along mangrove shore lines on the falling tide using Live bait, doa 3 inch shrimp and Rapala x raps. Three different species of snook were caught by anglers. Evening into night alnglre enjoyed wrangling snook on fly targeting dock lights. These fish are always a blast as you can battle them using 5 to 6 weight rods.
Juvenile tarpon have still been abundant in back bays, canals and along mangrove shorelines. These fish are striking live baits along with Rapala X raps. The tarpon has been schooled up, allowing anglers to get multiple shots. Key component is always bow to the king to keep tarpon hooked up.
Bottom fishing the past week was phenomenal with youth, anglers and adult anglers looking for a plethora species. Plenty of rod ending action was provided by mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, drum, grunts, jacks, blue runners, barracuda, and many other species.
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! PhlatsInshoreFishing.com visit us on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X and YouTube
