Cool weather brings in the bite!
With the passing of the first real cool front to hit South Florida the action has really fired up. Sailfish, Cobia and Kingfish are on the move and Snapper have invaded the reefs.
Jupiter and Palm Beach anglers have been getting several sails on every trip. The fish have been hitting Goggle-eyes from kites in 130 feet of water and have been seen balling baits in as little as 30 ft of water off the beach. Kingfish were caught off the Breakers in 80-120 ft. Wahoo have been taking baits trolled or drifted. With most of the hits occurring just outside the Inlets in 130-250 ft of water. Anglers on the Juno Pier have been catching Spanish mackerel, Bluefish and Pompano.
Boynton anglers have seen a few sails though not as many as to the north or south, this could be that most of the boats have been working the reefs for Snapper. Trollers have been getting some nice Dolphin and Wahoo. The Drift-Boats out of Boynton have been reporting as much as 200 lbs. of Mutton Snapper a trip. Lake Worth Pier anglers are getting Cobia, Snapper, Sheepshead and Bluerunner. Boynton Inlet Jetty anglers are still getting some Snook action, but remember that snook season was closed as of the 15th of Dec. till Feb.
Boca Inlet area had a good Sailfish bite as well. With Kingfish and Hoo’s taking baits of San Remo. Cobia have been along the beaches and a few of the Sportfishers with tall towers have been working the beach on a northwest wind and finding plenty of action.
Another cool front is expected for Christmas day so the action should continue strong well into the New Year. Watch the weather and plan accordingly. The Sailfishing is generally best for 3 days following a front. Cobia fishing is good the day after a front, before the wind turns east. Reef fishing can be good any time the seas are tolerable.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
