Juno Beach Report/Pix October 5th-8th


October 5th

I had an early flight in the morning and arrived in West Palm around 12:00pm. When I arrived at the house, I unpacked my things and opened the package that had arrived, it was my LDX. Once I was unpacked, I called my buddy Byron and we when fishing.

When we hit the beach, we immediately noticed the large surf. I put a pompano rig with some squid on LDX and bombed it out there. Within a couple minutes the rod stared bouncing. I caught this fish I had never seen before and I didn’t take a picture. It was under 6 inches. After that we didn’t have many other bites. We then packed up our things and decided to go try at the Palm Beach Inlet. The really weird thing was there were no waves in the inlet. You could see past the rocks these massive waves, but when they entered the mouth of the inlet, they dissipated. There was just a really strong current in the inlet. I tried using topwater lures, but the water was just too murky and nothing was hitting. We fished there for a little while before a big storm came and rained us that. That was the end of fishing that day. From there we went into Black Bart and hanged out there for an hour or so, checking out the custom rods and lures and stuff.


October 6th

I woke early in the morning and called Byron. We headed over to the inlet to try our luck there. We had no bites there. Byron had to go to work, so he dropped me off the beach. I brought my shark rod and LDX to the beach with me. I casted out the LDX with some squid and within a few minutes I caught this little Jack.

I then threw out some mullet on my Pompano rig and caught this big Ladyfish.

After that I threw out some more mullet and within a 5 minutes I caught these two Bluefish.

I threw out some more Mullet and managed to catch two more Bluefish.

After I was done fishing my dad and I headed down to Sunrise to watch the Florida Panthers play. It was a good game, but the Panthers fell apart during the 2nd and 3rd periods. And I didn’t get to have any pictures with cheerleaders this time 


October 7th

I woke up early and called Pete (reelemin). I was suppose to fish with him today, but he wasn’t able to make it. I then called Byron and we went to the beach. I caught this little Jack within a couple minutes of throwing out my LDX.

Picture:



I threw out the LDX again with some mullet and threw out my HDX with a hunk of Bluefish. The Blues in the area ate the hunk of Bluefish within a matter of minutes. A shark didn’t have a chance. After about 10 minutes my LDX starting bouncing. I reeled in the fish and discovered that it was a big Ladyfish. I quickly rigged it up to go out on the yak.

Picture:



There waves were pretty big, probably 10 footers. Byron told me he’s done this before in Brazil, so I took his word. The first attempt, the kayak flipped. The second time he got it out there. He took it out about 250yds.

Here’s a cool picture of my Alutecnos set-up by the yak:



We waited for a while for that Alutecnos to go off. During that time we caught two more Ladyfish. I caught one and Byron caught one.

Pictures:





It was starting to get boring after we caught these two lady. We had a shark swim by and bite-off my pompano rig. While we were waiting for that Alutecnos, I noticed a really looking cloud in the sky. It looks like a mushroom cloud.

Picture:



After a while I reeled in my Alutecnos. Byron got a shot of me reeling it in:



When the leader came up we noticed that there was no bait on it. The Bluefish must have ate of all it. By this time we were tired and the waves had picked up more, so we decided to call it quits. We went back to my place and made these videos on how to make shark leaders.
