Palm beach report slow but decent.

Well started the morning off with dolphin on the agenda we proceeded to drag 2 blue and white islander rigged ballyhoo in the riggers a naked on the shotgun deep and lures shot and flat trolled from 7 to 11am 150'-800' and back to 75' with nothing to show 😔 caught one summertime and hung it up went to bottom fishing which was slow and difficult current on top going one direction down 50' headed the other way. ended up catching 4 nice Grover's a 17" mutton a flag tail and a decent cuda to too the box off. Didn't bother with live bait and water was pretty green inside 120' or so.


Yes I do eat cuda's 3' or less grew up eating them and still here to say they taste great. Ain't no mutton snapper but tastes good fried and almost forgot the strawberry tastey little treats 😊

I used to think cuda was trash, but have heard from enough people to convince otherwise. will be trying a piece next time I catch a smaller one. your snapper look a little better though!

Thanks yea the little ones eat like trout and the snappers were all good pound and a half 2 pound fish I would say. Not complaining at all about them

Nice job on the snappers. I used to eat cuda too, not bad from what I remember but haven't had one in well over a decade.

I don't eat them as much because you don't really encounter them much here but in the keys it was a safe go to when other fishing was slow
