FISHING REPORT JULY 24, 2012

Dade Broward Palm Beach

The snook have been the story around town at all of the oceanside inlets and along the beaches where they can be caught on live pilchards, shrimp, threadfin herring, pinfish and mullet as well as artificial lures. Soft plastics hooked to a ΒΌ ounce red jig is another snook catcher. Also dont forget the chaos of mini lobster season starts tonight at mid night. be safe people!

Offshore fishing has been a bit slow with plenty of false albacore, a few blackfin tuna, kingfish and sailfish being caught just outside the outer reef line. Using live baits will help you get the most strikes. Wahoo are being caught on strips of bonito trolled deep with a planer. Lots of undersized dolphins are available offshore in depths from 600 feet out to over 1000 feet of water. Trolling feathers as you work your way out is your best bet at locating some fish. Swordfishermen are catching fish during the day in 2,000 feet of water and at night in 1,200 feet of water.

Biscayne Bay Inshore

Tons of seatrout, snapper, small jacks, ladyfish and barracudas can be found by drifting the shallow grass flats on the east side of North Biscayne Bay. Fishing live pilchards under a Cajun Thunder float has been the steady bite.
