Beach Fishing With Paul Sperco Palm Beach/Martin County Area

 

A calm surf , clean water , no weeds, an incoming tide , and some Saharan Dust was just the right formula for a pretty good whiting bite here in Jensen Beach this morning. Randy and I fished for a couple of hours and managed a nice cooler of nice whiting . We got to the beach a couple of hours before high tide and as is the case when the beach you are fishing does not have a pronounced near shore trough, the key was to cast your bait 20 to 25 yards to the slightly deeper water where the whiting were sitting . As the tide continued to rise we shortened our casts with the change in the water depth . When we decided to leave the fish were right at our feet. Pilchards and glass minnows made their appearance today also and the anglers that were targeting catch and release snook had bent rods all morning. Bloodworm Fishbites tipped with a small piece of shrimp continues to produce. Talked to a couple of friends that were north and south of me and it seems like the bite was good up and down Hutchinson Island . The forecast for the week looks pretty good up until the holiday weekend when the “weather “ folks are suggesting we may have a system off of our coast that wiil bring us some wind and rain . . We will see what happens but let’s hope our conditions stay with us .
