Tough bite today for the sailfish bash out of Palm Beach Inlet
. One sail was all we got, but it was enough. Had a great time. Big props to Nick for organizing the gig. Think everybody had a ball. Lookin forward to doing it again next year. Report wise, bait was scarce. Ended up w/ a couple of rainbow runners, and blue runners, after two hours of bait fishing starting @ 5am. Winning fish ate a rainbow @ 7:54am. No other sail hits all day. Kingfish, and cutoffs kept us busy, but the spindles were scarce.DF2---OUT

What size rainbow runners are you catching? The only ones I've ever caught have been bycatch of tuna fishing out about the rigs. They've always been 3#+

, from 8-12". Caught them over a shallow patch reef. Had to weed through the triggers, grunts, and porgys. Like I said it was a tough getting bait that AM. Ended up w/ a bunch of runners, a small bonito, and three rasinbows. Ended up not being a factor, cuz the bite was ultra slow. Only heard of one other sail caught Sat, out of boynton. Kings, and dolphin were biting better. Figures..... Thats why they call it fishing DF2---OUT

There are still fish up north from what I've heard. I am sure a lot of fish made their way south with that last long blow. SST shows some good cold water just north of me.

Does anyone from FS know if Nick is planning on running another Palm Beach Sail Bash this December? That was a fun tournament.
Damn, maybe Nick is still banned by FSEric! D'oh! Catch
