(11/30/15) Boca Raton Fishing Report: Hi this is Capt. Chris Agardy with the Boca Raton fishing report and forecast for the last week of November. During the past week we had very windy and blown out conditions that forced us to run our charters mostly in the intracoastal. Fortunately, the inshore fishing was very good along the intracoastal water where we were able to find some protection from the wind. The week started off on Monday with great snook fishing action at the Boynton spillway. My customers were able to land 8 snook between 24″ and 27″ as well as 40 jack crevalle in the 2-4 lb range. The fish were biting on live baits during the whole morning trip. It turned out to be one of the best inshore fishing trips of the month with non stop action while fishing the spillway canal.
On Wednesday the fishing was much slower, but we managed to catch a 3 jacks up to 12 lbs, 1 mutton snapper, 1 lookdown, 1 catfish, and 1 alligator gar that weighed around 12 lbs. All of these fish were caught on live shrimp and threadfin herring. On Friday we took out the big charter boat to fish for mackerel along the intercostal waterway, as the high winds were still blowing offshore. We were surprised to find a school of legal-sized kingfish inside the intracoastal, and our customers had a blast reeling in their limit of king mackerel using live baits in only 10 feet of water! Back at the dock no one could believe that we had such an incredible catch in the intracoastal. We caught all of the kingfish on light spinning rods, adding to the excitement of an epic inshore fishing charter. We finally made it offshore fishing on Sunday with a group on the big boat.
Despite 6 foot seas, we were able to land 2 nice dolphin while trolling a mile offshore at the beginning of the charter. After about an hour, the customers wanted to try their luck back in calmer waters ion the intracoastal. We were able to find the same school of kingfish from earlier in the week and we landed two 6lb kings before heading back to the dock at lunch time.
Captain Chris’ Fishing Forecast: It looks like we will be dealing with light onshore winds for the upcoming week, and I expect the dolphin fishing and sailfish fishing to be good offshore. The inshore fishing should be decent for jacks, mackerel, and the occasional snook or tarpon. Call me if you are looking to get out on the water!
