Fishing Report 8.8.14

August is always an exciting month here in South Florida for fisherman both inshore and offshore. It is the start to a transition for weather patterns especially toward the end of the month. Most days in August will be smoking hot with tropical weather in the mix which can really stir up some great fishing.

OFFSHORE- The wahoo fishing has started to fire up as the moon gets bigger and bigger. Reports show that wahoo are being caught from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet from 120’-300’ of water early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The Bonita are getting pretty thick right now (a good reason why the wahoo are here); so if you’re trying to avoid the Bonita, keep the baits big and/or speed up the boat a bit when trolling.

South Florida is a haven for the health-conscious and actively inclined. There isn’t really any activity that you can’t do with the exception of snow skiing, but we have water skiing, so who needs it? All the availability of activities can make one a little jaded. So, spice up your routine and try a new challenge, yoga on a stand up paddleboard. This sport will reinvigorate you to become an even better yogi then you thought – all while enjoying the natural glory of floating on water. This new sport is not just for the lucky few in tropical places but the S.U.P. yoga community is much larger than you would expect and makes it easier for you to find a convenient place to try it, especially South Florida.

Since the platform of the stand-up paddleboard is…

Andrew “Red” Harris Foundation is working on improving our marine environment along with keeping Andrew Harris’ legacy alive.  Andrew, like most Floridians, had pure love for our local south Florida waters, whether it is leisurely snorkeling and observing the natural wildlife or hunting for fish and lobsters, fishing out in the ocean or the Intercostal Waterways. Heartbreakingly, on June 8, 2014, Andrew life was taken abruptly after being struck by a boat while snorkeling in the Jupiter Inlet. Andrew’s family and friends have joined together to build this Foundation to represent all what Andrew lived for. His athletics, his love for the ocean, and you can do anything attitude. 

The first foundations fundraising event will be a golf tournament at Tequesta…
