Palm Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Inshore Fishing Report October 3, 2006
Fall is here which means mullet run time. Huge schools if mullet are making there way south down the beaches and inside the ICW. The mullet run started earlier this year for my area and they are really thick making for some exciting fishing.
Fishing the beach has been tough the past couple of weeks do to all the swells we have been getting from the passing hurricanes out in the Atlantic. The inlets and ICW are holding huge pods of mullet, along with the Snook, Tarpon, Jacks, and Sharks, chasing these pods all over. The Snook bite is going off right now, every sea wall is holding Snook along with every dock. These fish are using the structure to ambush passing by mullet. The morning bite and evening bite has been the best for the Snook, and top water lures make for some great explosions that will get anybodies heart pumping with excitement. The Snook have been averaging 18-44”. The dock lights at night hold many fish but the bigger ones have been lurking in the shadows waiting for an easy prey. The Tarpon bite has been great this year with many of the fish averaging 2-40 pounds. Many of these Tarpon can be spotted as they role on the surface. Live mullet and storm baits have been the ticket for these fish. The bigger fish have been real finicky, but staying quite and stealthy will help land those bigger Tarpon. The Jacks, and blue fish have been crashing the party lately also, these fish make for great excitement on really light tackle. Any fast moving artificial bait will work along with live bait. The Trout bite has been steady also with many of the fish hanging on the drop offs in 15-20 feet. The bait of choice is storm baits, live greenies and mullet.
The fresh water fishing has been great for largemouth bass and will continue to get better. The deeper drop offs and holes hold the bigger fish while, the 2-5 pound bass lurk near the grassy shore lines waiting to crush any soft plastic or top water bait thrown there way. The Peacock bass fishing has slowed down but they are still around it just takes a little searching. Once located the Peacocks will take any bait you have to offer most of the time. The bait of choice is the chartreuse gulp grub tails and live shiners.
If you would like to get into the action and enjoy hooking any of the above mentioned fish, Give Capt. Craig Korczynski a call 561-644-4371 or Visit PhlatsInshoreFishing.com, or email me at [email protected].
