Boca Raton Snook Fishing Charters: Live Chumming With Captain Chris Agardy

Boca Raton Snook Fishing Report: Now that we have reached the middle of Summer the snook are everywhere and they are eager to bite! Although snook season is closed until September, we have been focusing most of our attention on snook during inshore charters. The tarpon bite has been phenomenal as well, but snook fishing has been more consistent over the past few trips. The easiest way to catch snook around Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach right now is to castnet hundreds of pilchards to use as bait and live chum. Live chumming for snook involves throwing out handfuls of these live pilchards into the water when we know that we are in a good area holding fish. Even when the bite is slow, snook can often be “tricked” into being hungry once they realize we are giving them free live baits. Once the snook start popping around the boat, then we put hooks in a couple baits and cast out the rods. It usually doesnt take long for a snook to eat one of the baits, and the snook that we are catching this time of year tend to be on the large side. We are focusing most of our snook fishing in Boca Raton around the beaches, inlets, and canals where bait is present.

Boca Snook Fishing — A nice 30″ snook from early August caught at the Boynton spillway.

Basically, anywhere you can find concentrations of bait right now you will also find snook around. We are using light fluorocarbon leaders of 30-50lb test depending the size of the baits and the snook that we are targeting. Circle hooks are the best bet for us during the catch and release fishery that we are experiencing right now. If you are looking to book one of our Boca Raton snook fishing charters, you can give me a call today, as I have plenty of availability for trips right now. Tight Lines,

12/08/14 Boca Raton Fishing Report: Snook, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Barracuda, Sunshine Bass

Boca Raton Fishing Charters — 12/06/14- Barracuda

12/08/14 Boca Raton Fishing Report: For this week’s fishing report we are starting to see a Winter pattern set in as water temperatures are dropping in the backcountry areas. The snook are becoming harder and harder to find with cooler water temps and less rainfall, but the tarpon fishing is just beginning to heat up in the intracoastal waterway. While using live bait we were able to jump two small tarpon in the Boynton Beach area last week. There has been no shortage of jack crevalle, and we have been releasing at least a dozen per trip. Other exotic species caught this week were sunshine bass, and barracuda. The snook fishing will only be good during warm periods in between fronts, but the tarpon fishing should continue to improve over the next couple weeks. Call us to book a Boca Raton fishing charter today at 561-451-7646.

(07/14/14) Boca Raton Fishing Report: Kingfish And Snapper Fishing Heats Up With The Weather

Boca Raton Fishing Report: Summer is in full swing and we are seeing decent fishing for smoker kingfish and yellowtail snapper as we reach the mid point in July. The kingfish have been biting best in 100 feet of water during the early morning and late afternoon hours. The best bait for the big king mackerel has been live pilchards or dead sardines on the drift. The snapper are feeding in the same depths, falling victim to live pilchards or dead sardines fished near the bottom on the outside of the reef. There have been plenty of false albacore (bonito) biting as well.

Boca Raton July Fishing Forecast: As we approach the inevitable mid-Summer heat wave we can expect the fishing for kingfish and snapper to slowly pick up during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Drifting with dead sardines or live pilchards will get the most bites, but chicken rigs with squid for bait can also produce decent snapper, porgie, and triggerfish action as the month continues. If you plan on booking a trip with us, we definitely recommend early mornings as the afternoons will bring intense heat and thunderstorms.

Boca Raton Fishing Report: Big Blackfin Tuna And Dolphin Biting Offshore, Snook And Tarpon Inshore

Pay With Bitcoin And Get 20% Discount One Our Boca Raton Fishing Charters — This 20lb blackfin tuna was caught using a live bait underneath a fishing kite during an offshore charter last Saturday.

Boca Raton Fishing Report: Our customers on the “Billy Goat” have been experiencing great live bait fishing offshore for big blackfin tuna, sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, false albacore, and the occasional cobia. The best fishing for all of these species has been in depths of 80 to 120 feet where a strong North current is running. This past week the best bite was during and right after high tide.

Trolling has been decent for schoolie sized dolphin and kingfish, with the occasional football blackfin tuna being brought back to the dock during our Boca Raton fishing charters. The best trolling baits have been fresh bonito strips, but ballyhoo have been working when fished way behind the boat. Drone spoons also do very well this time of year.

Snook Fishing In Boca Raton — This snook was caught during a charter near Boca Raton Resort.

Inshore charters have been on fire for snook and tarpon in the Boca Raton inlet and Lake Boca area. The best baits for both these species is undoubtedly live pilchards right now.
