Offshore Fishing Report
Saturday, December 22, 2001
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!

Subject: Jupiter’s snook fishing comes alive!
It was like someone flipped a switch. Jupiter inlet has been producing the best snook fishing of the year. The combination of outgoing tide at dawn and low pressure seems to have put the snook on the feed. The hardest part about catching them is catching bait. Once you secure enough bait, it’s almost a sure thing.
Jetty anglers have been casting their bait up current and then letting it swing around with the tide where it gets pounced on by snook of all sizes. Many fish have been within the slot limit, so catching one for dinner is very common. Larger fish are taking larger baits, if a trophy fish is your goal beef up your tackle and use a large croaker. Keep a camera handy because these "slobs" have to be released.
If you are fishing from a boat, anchoring or drift fishing will both produce. I prefer drift fishing because you can move around and not be crowded by other boats anchored near by. Many fish have been lost to anchor lines of boats fishing too close together. Also when drifting, if you hook a very large snook or a tarpon you can chase it down and better your chances of landing it.
North of Jupiter, the mullet run is in full swing. School of mullet are cruising along the beach attracting tarpon, snook, jacks, sharks, bluefish, etc etc etc. Although most of the action is closer to Stuart as the bait moves south those in Jupiter will get a shot at these fish as they go gangbuster in the surf.
Palm Beach
Although I have not fished around Palm Beach in a few weeks, you can be sure those fishing there are experiencing similar action. Last time I was there schools of bait were all over inside, as they move outside they’ll be intercepted by all fish mentioned above.
My heart goes out to those who were lost Tuesday. My Dad and brother work downtown and thank God they’re OK. Being a retired NYPD officer I am concerned for fellow officers and fireman still missing, as well as all they others still missing.
Fishing Charter
If you are considering a sailfish charter this season, you ought to start planning soon. If we get an early sail bite, most guides will be booked by Christmas. My phone # is 561 352-7844.
As always, keepin’ it reel (tight) Good luck

Subject: Palm Beach Offshore
Over the past week I’ve been checking out the charter boats out of Palm Beach. Many of them have been doing well on sailfish and dolphin. From the Lake Worth pier to Palm Beach inlet has produced. Sloan’s Curve and the Breakers have been consistent spots. Look for a good rip or weedline and chances are you’ll see some action.
Fishing in the same areas but in 70-90 feet will score with kingfish. There are tons of small blue runners along the beach. Use a "stinger rig" because the larger baits seem to get cut in half. You don’t want to miss a short striker. On one outing, lines with mono leaders were getting hit every time, while wire leaders were getting ignored. If you are marking fish and not getting strikes with wire, you a circle hook and 80lbs. flourocarbon leader. Down sizing your terminal tackle may save the day.

Subject: Offshore Palm Beach
A gusty cool snap and the wind out of the N.E. last week livened up the Dolphin action we boated a doz. - 26 to 12 lb, released 5 others. These fish hit only trolled ballyhoo WO/skirts, wiches nothing. We even pulled in the teasers. You gotta rig'em so they swim like real.
Saw two larger schools of Spinner shars big guys mabe 30 per school we were able to pull into the middle of them and watch the action. At the same time 5 to 6 - 70 to 150 lb sharks leaping 4 to 5 foot in the air spinning 4 or more times often crashing into each other. They were not feeding at all. Must be a mating ritual? Looked a little like break dancing humans do. " Did I say humans "? But what a fantastic show for our crew and clients none had seen this in real life. All my camera film was shot on the Dolphin catches. So sorry no pix or Video, "I wish"!
We have been seeing real large Cuda's in and offshore and small sharks both trolling and live baiting. This Action - Breakers to Juno 100 to 250 feet. We heard VHF reports the Kings were off Juno but saw none ourselves.
Sailfish are here but you gotta be stubborn long term, live. That's it for now.
" Keep what you can eat, release the rest!"
Yours for better boating, Capt. Seaweed |

FISHING REPORT
Snook and Tarpon at Bridges at some of the bridges in the St. Lucie River have been a highlight of some of the fishing. The best tides have usually been the last 2 hrs of the outgoing and the first 2 hrs of the incoming. The best method we have found has been to use DOA Root beer colored Terror-Eyz with 3/8 oz. heads ,and bounce the lure on or very close to the bottom. Be careful and bring an extra supply, as plenty of hung up lures is the rule. For extra sensitivity use Power Pro line 10#. It has no stretch and is very sensitive!
Up near Club Med in the North Fork there have been Jacks to 10#,s and Snook from 8-12#'s. Topwaters and bucktails have been good on these fish. Ladies are in the area too. Gulf Stream jigs have worked well on them.
In the South Fork there have also been some nice Snook and a few Trout. Plastics are good, and Flies are working as well. Fly wise use streamers with dark backs for best results.. You do not need reely heavy rods.. 7 and 8 wts. work just fine! Floating or intermediate sink tip lines are best. Leader length anywhere from about 5-8 ft. is fine. Use at least a 20# bite tippet as some of these fish have very abrasive mouths.
Large Jack Cravalles have also been in the St. Lucie near some of the Bridges.. I'm talking" 10-20+# range. Troll a spoon, throw a topwater use a jig, and be sure to look for birds as they are usually a give away for location. Try ur fly with a Popper and I suggest at least a 9 wt. rod. If one of these bruisers takes.. Your in or a great Fight.
Ladies in Hell's Gate and some Pompano on the Sailfish Flats.Use Gulfstream jigs and tip with shrimp.
Lots of Spanish Mackerel on the outside South of the Inlet. For fun use 6-8 lb. test and bright and flashy jigs or spoons.
These Fish are great on Fly... Any old flies you happen to have in your box should work.. use heavy mono or light wire for bite tippet.

Regards And Best Fishes,

FISHING REPORT
Suffice it to say the weather is playing a factor in our fishery.. Thank goodness there is very little rain, but the wind can cause some problems. Best bet for this is just try to fish the lee areas.
Over all fishing can be good on a given day. Out with Jason Carney of Wellington, Fl we got a very nice Spotted Seatrout about 4lbs in the South Fork of the St. Lucie River on a Redington Flyrod (DFR) 7wt. and a white deceiver with green back. There are Jacks and Snook around as well.
Up in the Indian River most of the water on the flats is kinda dirty from the wind, but there are still Tarpon around Big Mud. We cast for them for quite a while , but my angler missed on one that boiled just a few feet from the boat for a 3/8 oz. Terror-Eyz in Rootbeer. We saw fish that that went anywhere from 20 lbs. to probably over 200 lbs. The trick here is to just keep casting, either blind or to rolling fish.
On the flats around Sailfish and the Inlet at Stuart as well as Hell's Gate in the St. Lucie some Ladyfish, Bluefish and a few Spanish Macks, along with a few Pompano are appearing.. Looks good as the water temperatures drop for some good "winter" fishing. Not only that but we are also catching some Jacks and they are lots of fun on Top waters.
I took Tom and "wristy" from Pa. to the Manatee pocket and it has yielded some nice Flounder, some Spanish, Blues and Jacks as well as a couple of Snook. The water in there is kinda dirty, so I don't know if I would be jumping to eat any from there. Sometimes, just trolling a plug in there is the way to produce.
Close in shore to the beaches, weather permitting, the Spanish and Blues are there. Use Fast moving lures or jigs and heavy mono or light wire with fast retrieves. Topwaters can also be quite effective and lots of fun to watch those explosions on them.
Around Hobe Sound in the Marker 42 area, there has been some sporadic action on Snook , Trout and more.. That area due to its limited size takes a lot of time and casting. Don't be surprised if you catch a few Pomps on your trip.

FISHING REPORT
So What a little rain won't hurt ya! As long as there isn't any sparkly stuff in the sky.
On and off rain, mixed with sun and some wind can make fishing more difficult. But..that's not a reason to stop fishing. We have been catching everything from Snook to Jacks to Ladies to Mangroves to Spanish to Trout and More, on Fly and Spin.. Of Course, nobody says it's gonna be easy. You just cannot give up.. Plan on doing lots of casting.
Fishing the Jensen area north to the Power Plant area with some rain and wind with Alex Nathanson of Palm City, his Father-in-law and brother-in-law-Chip, who was from Plant City. We ran into lots of Snook around the bridges in the very early AM. Chip got the first Snook to the boat. Others were lost in transit.
They used Surface lures and stick baits as well as DOA's and Gulfstream Jigs. The best producers were the DOA and Gulfstream Redfish jig. After daylight and the bite from Snook and Ladies let go--- we went up onto the grass areas on the east side of the ICW. The best method we found was to simply drift along looking for bait schools getting disturbed, and cast to them,but also to blind cast as we went. We caught Jacks and Trout. Best baits in there were DOA Shrimp and i/8 to 1/4 oz. Gulfstream shrimp tease. Another good surface lure that we have been having great success with is CAPT. MIKES Li'l Dog.. Red/white and Green/white ...See attached picture.
Fly fishing with Dick Stanley from California and his buddy Ralph we were able to get Dick his first Fly Caught Snook! This time, we were fishing kinda early, just around sun up- in the Sewalls Point area. Dick had a reely nice one on a lost it..fly and all. We re-rigged with a similar fly and kept casting-wind and all, and got another.. this one to the boat. Our best successes that day on the fly wee from using a sink tip line and a very small fly.. like those for bone fish with a small epoxy head in a very light color. Be sure to use at least 20# bite tippet.
Remember Releases Today Are Tomorrows Catches!

Subject: Saltwater Inshore and Nearshore Fishing Report
With the mullet running around it can make things mighty good.
Nearshore, if you chase some of these school you'll find all kinds of fish.
Jump out the inlets.. any will do.. Ft. Pierce, Stuart, Palm Beach (Lake Worth)..Keep close to shore, anywhere between Ten feet and about fifty feet. Look for the bait pods. If you have some livies, just throw them out around the edges of the schools. You might want some light wire or heavy mono for leader as there .. thankfully ...have been some toothy critters in the mix, As well as Snook, Tarpon, and more.. The toothies have mostly been Early Spanish Mackerel, Blue fish, and some "cudas". Be some what careful as there have also been some very Large Sharks around.. Stay in the Boat!!
To get these fish on lures etc.. Use plastics or jigs in bright colors and lots of flash.. Spoons work well also. As a matter of boating and fishing courtesy.. Please Do Not Troll around other boats that are working the area.. If you must troll.. then do it away from the others.. Trolling is a good way to locate fish, but if others have already done so.. its the best way to put them down!!-Then everybody stands to lose!! Before I forget.. Some rattle traps and noisy stick (hard body) baits working well also.
You want lots and lots of fun.. Get out that Fly Rod... a 5-6 wt. is usually fine, and more than fun!!.. Go with a sinking line or even a popper. On the Popper , of course, you will get some super surface strikes.. On the Sinker, probably more hits.. On the sinker use small flies.. like clouser minnows with some chartreuse in them for best results. Again, for bite tippet, use very small wire or about 50# test mono for them there teeth.
Inshore there is also some great fishing... Around the Sewell's point areas, In the very wee hrs of the predawn.. Work the lights and bridges. The other day on an incoming tide I fished with a friend, Harry Scherer from Salerno in his boat (this was grins fishing for me). Using a shinny hard bodied plastic stick bait I caught about 5 snook and 1 Jack, several of the Snook were in the slot. On a plastic bodied jig I also caught some Snook. ALL FISH WERE RELEASED!
I had my Flyrod handy, but it was a bit too windy at the time.. Had it not been, the most effective flies have been small and in dark colors.. Streamers and clousers with a small bit of flash.
On Fly up in the Indian River in the Power Plant areas...There have been Trout , Tarpon, and Snook.. Again small flies have been the most effective.. Maybe with a bit of chartreuse in them. Another type fly that has been good - are those used for bonefish-again small in size You might also want to fish the bridges around the light lines.. I have been successful using small (very small) minnow type flies on sinking lines.. Got plenty of Snook and Ladyfish. Some of those Ladies are kinda large.. When fishing for all these guys I'm usually using my 7 wt. REDington and a 250 grain head. Short strips are good.

FISHING REPORT
So, you say its been a bit damp out there... And windy too?!
That's OK ...there are still lots of willing fish to be caught.
I'm going to try to answer some frequently asked questions in this report.
But, as is the case in most of life, you just gotta be in the right place at the right time. Where do I go? you say. Well that is always the most difficult question to answer.. What with probably over Hundreds of places to start. Usually the best thing to do is read reports, listen to friends and ask at your local B & T's. On the down side, as we all know it's called fishing and not catching. Some days , what happened the day before has nothing to do with what goes for the next day... A change in the wind, or the barometer or rain or... lots of other things can change things drastically.. Even though it may seem that everything is the same.
So what's the solution? Just keep casting!!! You always need to be trying new stuff.. But, start with what you know works.. If your not getting hits, or even if you are, go ahead and "change - up"... Try something different.. It could be color, it could be retrieve style or it could be depth or size or... lots of things.. Just keep trying!! Maybe, Next time out try a different starting spot - could just be very effective.
A quick report on the overall fishery...
In the St. Lucie and the Indian Rivers.. There have been lots and lots of Finger Mullet. They are coming into the Palm Beaches as well.
Try cast netting for live bait or try casting artificials around the schools for all kinds of fish. We have been catching Snook on Rootbeer Terror- Eyz from DOA.
And on fly, we have been having Loads of Fun. I fished the other day with another Capt friend of mine who also really enjoys Fly, Marsha Foosaner. We launched in the wee hours of the pre-dawn. Soon we were on a mullet school in the Indian River on the East side near Jensen, and the fish were slamming and popping and banging and eating mullet like a battlefield... Out came our fly rods...7 wt and 6 wt Redington rods..and we proceeded to cast our usual array of productive flies into the "war zone"... After a while we were very disappointed as we weren't getting the action we thought we should... So we Changed to sinking lines and some pretty small dark flies and our luck changed with it.. We were hooking and landing some nice sized Snook. We took pictures and Released the fish we caught.
We then motored away and did some Wade fishing.. not really the right tide flow, so then we went up the Indian River to the Power Line area on the East bank and set a drift with the current. We threw flies the rest of the day .. experimenting with sizes and colors. After catching a few nice fish, I changed up to a reely fun Rod... A Redington .. get this 3 wt. with a sink tip line.. Man o man .. talk about fun!!! Trout, cuda, snapper... OH Yeah!
Around the inlets of Ft. Pierce and Stuart... there are still lots of Snook and an occasional Red.
For Snook in the Palm Beach Inlet Hit the North side of Jetties around the Pump house if the finger mullet are around, use livies or artificials. Around the Munyons in the very very dark there have been some big Snook. Be Careful though.. Some big Sharks too.
Release Today for Tomorrow!!!

Big Kings are showing up inside of 150 feet.
Put in your time and you can still find a Sail bite at the same depth.
As for Dolphin gotta go looking. We have been looking between 500 & 800 feet. Some days yea! some slow.
Still waiting for a blue, haven't seen one since July.

Subject: Fishing report, Palm Beach to Jupiter
Seas have been very user friendly offshore. Afternoon thunder storms have been spread out so you can avoid them for the most part.
Bonito, several large schools of small fish between Jupiter
and Singer Island at 80 to 125 feet. Sails are spread out in this same area and out to 200 ft. Good Wahoo action from
150 to 250 feet the deeper the bigger. We have not boated a large King yet but we have been on some awsome big Kings in the 100 ft range off Juno Pier & South to North Jupiter.
As for Dolphin they are way offshore 17 plus miles weed lines are there but takes some searching. Almost any boards or such produce a dolphin or two (early AM) and some tripletail & small blue runners.
Big Dolphin are scarce but "there are some big", BIG cows at 600 to 1000 ft best to slow troll south and let them come to you.
Find a rip, a good FM station and relax enjoy this cool weather we been having, Ha!
With Ballyhoo in short supply we've been using and having good luck trolling skirted squid. Cheaper and might even get the local tackel shops back to some honest pricing for hoo's. Both inlets provide plenty Tarpon & Jack Cvl's.
Keep what you can eat, throw the rest back!
