On this nearshore adventure, we'll mix it up depending on what's biting. Expect to try a variety of methods, from bottom fishing with live bait to sight casting at rolling fish. Capt.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Palm Beach's nearshore waters are teeming with a variety of gamefish that'll keep your rod bent and your heart racing. While we can't guarantee specific species, here's a taste of what you might encounter:

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are a favorite among local anglers. They love to hang around structures and put up a fierce battle when hooked. Spring and fall are prime times for snook, but they can be caught year-round. The "snook slam" – catching and releasing one over 40 inches – is a badge of honor among Palm Beach fishermen.

Spanish Mackerel: Fast and furious, these toothy speedsters often travel in schools, providing non-stop action when you find them. They're most abundant in the cooler months and are a blast on light tackle. Watch out for their razor-sharp teeth when unhooking!

Cobia: Known as "the man in the brown suit," cobia are curious fish that often investigate anything floating on the surface. They're strong fighters and can grow to impressive sizes. Late spring and early summer are your best bet for hooking into one of these bruisers.

Jack Crevalle: Pound for pound, jacks are some of the hardest fighting fish in these waters. They often hunt in packs, creating exciting topwater action. While not known for their table fare, jacks will test your stamina and make your drag sing.

Pompano: These tasty, silvery fish are prized for their delicate flavor. They're typically found in shallower waters, often right off the beach. Pompano fishing requires finesse and can be highly rewarding, especially during their spring and fall runs.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Capt. Sergio's trips aren't just about catching fish – they're about the whole experience. From the moment you cast off, you're in for a day of laughs, learning, and hopefully, some impressive catches. The nearshore waters offer a perfect mix of comfort and action, making it ideal for anglers of all levels. Plus, with Palm Beach's year-round fishing scene, there's always something biting no matter when you visit.
