Hello and welcome to the fishing forecast for Palm Beach, Singer Island and Juno Beach for the month of November. With cooler temperatures upon us, this is the time to get your gear checked out and get ready for some November fishing. This month will bring generally rougher seas, but the fishing opportunities will be good. If you have a pair of wahoo trolling rods, this is a good time to get them out and get them ready, because the full moon is going to bring some big fish into our waters. The morning bite will be good, but the late afternoon bite will be even better. Target the reefs off the Breakers. These waters have produced many fish in the 50+ range… tight lines!

If you’re a reef fisherman, the bottom opportunity will still be on. We’ve seen a huge migration of grouper after the Irma storm and I believe they will be here to stay. Grouper love squid. Send one down on a slide sinker rig and hold on. The best depth will be 75 to 95 ft. Good luck!

For the inshore guys, the Palm Beach Inlet will be seeing the end of the mullet run, but the fish will be biting. Expect to see tarpon and jack on the incoming tide. Your best bait will be a live finger mullet drifted down the south side of the inlet. If you’re able to hook a silver giant, you will be in for a long fight. Fight hard my friends…
