West Palm Beach Fishing Reports

Ed brought 3 generations out today for a troll and drift fishing trip. We had pretty good luck hooking, them but not so much getting them in the boat. Kate found out not to hit the freespool lever when fighting a big mahi, Luke found out that 25 pound Blackfin tuna will chafe through 30 lb fluro leader! A few heartbreaks and one nice mahi in the boat !

John likes a bonita bloodbath !!

Jay and Evan joined us today, no love on the troll or with the kite, but Evan got some cool fish on the drift !

Doug brought his buddies out from Indiana today and we went on the troll in windy conditions. Yep, the fish liked it and we caught some nice mahi on the troll. A big bonita joined the party too !

Brian and Joseph joined us for their yearly trip and Joseph keeps growing... if he keeps this up I'm going to need a bigger boat ! Anyhow trolling and bottom fishing were were good today and the boys had a lot of fun !

Elliot came out with us today and caught his first King Mackerel while kite fishing. He also got a load of reef fish including porgies, triggers, grunts, red grouper, mutton snapper and sand tiles.

John and Matt came out today, we started trolling but it was slow with one missed hit. When we switched to the drift good things started happening with reef fish coming up on the deep lines and King Mackerel on the flat line and the Kite payed off big time with a 35 lb King.

Kevin brought out friends and family today to help celebrate his daughter's Spring Break. Plenty of action today with Big Bonita's on the troll and some nice reef fish when we were drifting,.

Tom brought out his grandsons for their annual trip and we had a blast. Started out by trolling and we had a Mahi and a Bonita in the first 15 minutes of the trip. We then switched over to the drift and got a bunch of reef fish to round out their dinner plans. Always a pleasure with these guys !

David and his son John joined us today for some trolling and Kite Fishing. No hungry Sailfish were around, but this nice mahi jumped on a skirt and bonita strip when we were trolling !

David came out today with his father and uncle. A building weather front kept us on our proverbial toes, but David took it in stride and enjoyed and enjoyed the quick fishing !

John wanted to target Sailfish today so that's what we did ! My first spot, while Paul the mate was putting out the kite and Sailfish baits, I dropped in a bait on wire leader for kingfish and a Sail promptly attacked it. He got all bill wrapped in the leader, we got one good bow in the rod and then he got away. I got back a perfectly corkscrewed leader ! Anyhow a little while later another Sailfish jumped on a live Goggle Eye and we were off to the races !
