Happy July 4th!  The Palm Beaches inshore fishing offers a plethora of species to target. Snook, tarpon, sharks, and jacks will all provide explosive action.

Snook fishing will be fantastic, anglers can target them along beaches, in inlets, and inside the ICW. The snook will school up in local inlets, along deep channels, and beach fronts. Live bait schools are prevalent just about everywhere you look. Greenies, bait of choice for snook, but pinfish and mullet will get the bite as well. D.O.A. lures work great for the snook along the beaches, and nothing beats a D.O.A. C.A.L. 3” Shad Tail in bayou tiger or pearl color. Rapala Twitchin’ Mullet baits are also a great bait while fishing the beaches or drop offs where snook are lurking. The average size of the snook ranges from 5 to 30 pounds.

Silver king action will be explosive this month. The tarpon can be found lurking along the beaches and near deep channels. Tarpon school up, early morning risers get the best shots at bigger fish, as they are less spooky. The fish on the beach range from 50 to 130 pounds. The silver kings in the inlet and ICW are willing to devour any greenie in their path, but don’t shy away from artificial baits. The D.O.A. Bait Busters and D.O.A. TerrorEyz in root beer or pearl provoke drag screaming action.

The ICW will offer great fishing for big jacks, sharks, bluefish, and even some big triple tail. Docks, seawalls, and mangrove shorelines are great areas to locate fish. Look for bait fish in the area as a tell-tale sign, predator fish are nearby. Live baits, Rapala Skitter Walks, or D.O.A. TerrorEyz will get your drag screaming.

Well, that is the fishing report – hope you all enjoyed. Get out there and get your drag screaming. Tight Lines!
