CATCHING OFFSHORE FISH...INSHORE!

Far back inshore of the Intracoastal Waterway of Tequesta, Florida, a flats boat was anchored up in the north fork of the Loxahatchee river, right next to the Tequesta Bridge, where anglers were just casually fishing.

Normally, back in the Loxahatchee River, fishermen are more likely to hook up on a Jack crevalle, a lady fish or even a snook, where the saltwater is brackish, shallow and murky. On the other hand, sometimes the waters may have you guessing on what you’re reeling in.

A couple weeks ago, Captain Joe Kelly, informed me that his friend’s son was casually fishing along the north fork of the river, when he reeled in a fish he couldn’t even imagine to catch inshore. The kid saw a blaze of bright colors of mixed blues, deep green and yellow. Can…

SURFING EXHIBIT… DELRAY BEACH HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Florida’s pioneers of surfing actually date back to the 1930’s with a few Virginia Beach lifeguards who rented concession stands at the beach and demonstrated the sport of surfing using Hawaiian surfboards.  A couple of native Florida guys were belly boarding in Miami Beach and a couple others scattered across the Southern part of the state.  After WWII, active military bases, with service members familiar with using boards for military purposes, settled down and became surfers.

In the early sixties, when surfing began to become very popular in South Florida “Delray was the epicenter of surfing in Palm Beach County, maybe even the entire east coast of Florida” according to Palm Beach County Surf History…

FISHING FORECAST

11.14.14 Fishing Report

OFFSHORE-

As the dolphin has continued to stay strong all year round, the last couple of days have been no different as the bite is still on fire! Some dolphin reports coming out of Palm Beach have said that they are in the range of 150’-300’ of water and in good numbers. Mainly small dolphin in the 5-10lb range but there are a few bulls in the mix. Trolling with ballyhoo or just drifting live baits will get their attention. Sailfish are coming in and making things a bit more interesting and boats have spotted these sails every day, multiple times per day. At the 120’ ledge in Juno  Beach, the cobias are swimming around in fair numbers. Snapper fishing is also very good when using the top baits such as sardines to hook up good size…
