Subject: Dolphin, Wahoo and Sails, Oh my!!!
Say it over and over my friend, because that’s the new slogan in South Florida, West Palm Beach to be more precise. Over the last week or so great catches of all three specie of fish have been landed. Other impressive catches include blue marlin and blackfin tuna. A 90lbs. wahoo was caught in 130 ft outside Jupiter Inlet on a live sardine flatlined. Unfortunately we haven’t landed any wahoo recently but we did have several great days both inshore and offshore.
Sailfish are stretched out along the coast. Everyday on the radio we here other boats reporting sailfish in the area. We’ve concentrated our efforts from 200ft to 75ft. from Lost Tree off Singer Island to the Hobe sound loran tower. Start by catching bait anywhere from Jupiter inlet to south of the Juno pier. We head south towards Singer Island then out to 120-200ft. I’ll cruise the beach looking for surface activity such as tarpon rolling or snook and jacks busting on bait before head offshore.
Bonito have been thick on the "drop", I generally start in that depth because there is usually a rip or edge in that depth range, give or take a few feet. If every bait is catching a bonito I move out to deeper water were the baits have a better chance of getting spotted by a sailfish before the "bones" get to it. Greenies and spanish sardines have been the most popular baitfish.
Good dolphin fishing has occurred but you may have to run 10+ miles to find activity. After getting beat up by bonito, we usually fire up and run a little bit offshore. The run will cool you down and you may find weeds, birds or other signs of fish. Wahoo will be in these same areas. If that is your goal, stick with your game plan run and gun until you find a good area then troll or drift with live baits chances are you see some activity.
