Palm Beach In & OffshOre Fishing Forecast with

Welcome to the Palm Beach fishing forecast for June. Remember when you were a kid and heard stories of sea monsters? Well, they exist! Huge bull sharks (aka JAWS) will be roaming the edge looking for anything it can chow down on. This is the time to break out the big rod. If you’re fishing anything less than an 80 lb. class outfit, good luck! Bulls love bonito fillets. Fire one down and get ready for a ride. If you’re able to get him to the boat, have a jig rod on hand. Some of the biggest cobia swim with bulls so keep an eye out.

The swordfish grounds will be busy with anglers taking advantage of the calm seas. Daytime swordfishing is the way to go if you’re looking to fill the freezer. The easiest way is to hire a pro to show you the ropes. This is on everyone’s “bucket list” so get yourself out there and get it done!

Also, swimming the edge will be plenty of kingfish, snapper, dolphin, and wahoo. Live bait will be the key. Run the beach and look for anything that looks like boiling water. If you find this, you found bait; a #6 Sabiki works best for me.

June is the start of some great KDW tournaments. If you have always wanted to get rich with a winning fish, it’s not going to happen if you don’t enter. Give it a shot, it’s a great fun event. If you would like to go into more detail, give Capt. Weston a call, he loves to spill his guts out on the latest fishing spots, so you have nothing to lose. He will be glad to answer any questions you may have, good luck, and remember you can’t catch them from the couch!

Summertime! The month of June offers fantastic fishing near inlets, beaches, The Intracoastal, and spillways. These areas will offer a plethora of species to target. The inlets and beaches are great areas to target snook as they begin to spawn. Live baits and D.O.A. C.A.L. 4” Jerk Baits and 3” Shad Tails in pearl and figi chix, are ideal for snook. D.O.A. Bait Busters in pearl, glow / gold rush belly, and Arkansas glow are excellent choices for enticing snook to feed as well. Be sure to check the tides and locate good current for the best areas to hook up with snook. Anglers targeting tarpon can expect fantastic action along the beaches and inside the inlets. Tarpon can be seen rolling on the surface early in the morning as the sun is rising. D.O.A. Bait Busters and D.O.A. 5” Swim Baits in glow and gold rush belly, pearl and greenback, teamed up with a ½ ounce jig head, will get the silver kings chewing. Be sure to work in front of tarpon pods leading the fish, this helps not to spook the pod of tarpon. Do this and you will get your drag screaming!

The docks, seawalls, and drop-offs will hold plenty of fish for anglers.

Snook, tarpon, jacks, drum, and tripletail can all be targeted. For fly anglers this offers steady action as live chumming helps bring the predators boat side. Fly fishing is a blast and can be taught to novice anglers, whether it’s a 1-pound jack or a 20-pound tarpon, anglers can experience the thrill of fly fishing. Capt. Craig will make it easy for any angler - give it a shot, freshwater to saltwater, you will be hooked.

Well, that is the fishing report, hope you all enjoyed. Remember, you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight lines!

JULY 1 -JULY 30

A four week fishing tournament designed for children 5-17.

For more info shown how to do this, we never needed a gaff or net. On the larger fish, a gaff or net is highly recommended. mark ambert, ig @marksgonefishing_™ author – avid outdoorsman, sportswriter, and photographer. Contact marksgonefishing25@gmail.com heavy guns Fishing

Once on the hump and within an hour of starting our trolling pattern with small tuna feathers, we had eight nice sized tuna in the cooler –enough to feed a party of twelve. We asked TJ if we could try for some mahi. Although the big schools had yet to arrive, TJ agreed and took us out to the swordfish grounds where some loners had been spotted. We boated three mahi and called it a day!

On the trip in I reflected on the fact that not many captains would have left fish to find fish.

TJ has the confidence and skills to not only do that but to produce exactly what we asked for on our dinner menu.

Once back on shore we headed to the Hawks Cay Resort restaurant called Angler and Ale for our meal.

All in, we showed up with eight pounds of cleaned and filleted fish. Most restaurants will weigh and charge you by the pound to prepare and cook the fish you bring. This usually includes your choice of sides and multiple ways of cooking the fish. Blackened, grilled, sautéed and batter fried – everything was delicious! The highlight of our meal was the pan seared tuna lightly salted and peppered served with wasabi and soy sauce. So simple and yet phenomenal – kudos to the chef!
