I've been fishing the Palm Beach Inlet on the south side from Oct 1-7
Tons of silver mullet, black mullet, and large mud mullet coming through.
Tarpon, Snook, Jacks, Snapper & Hammerhead & Bull Sharks.
47 Incher around 25-30 lbs hit a large silver mullet.

Was fishing with the Jetty Conch's.

This is the tough part running on the rocks following your fish.
Wife caught this jack on a Sabiki she was proud of it.
Had Jr. there in the baby cage for good luck
Had to put the other one in the sand so he wouldn't get into trouble.
On Oct the 6th I saved some of the bigger sized mullet and
let them sit in the sun for a few hours untill the sun went down.
Rigged up a 2, 10/0 mustad hooks and 200lb wire with a 6 oz pyrmid sinker.
Casted out about 20 yards on the ocean side of the jety around 9pm.
bait sat there for about 2 hours then the clicker starts going off.
I let it go for about 1 min then set the hook. It starts dumping line and running hard south bound.
So i run off the jety and start running the beach with the fish.
Walked all the way down to reef road fighting the fish, then the line goes slack.
I reel in all my line, he had me down to about 80 yards of line left,
I hold around 390 yards on the 4/0 penn 40lb test.
I get my whole rig back and the hooks are bent back.
I think it was a 5-6ft bull shark that i had been seing all day in that area swiming back and forth.
I caught a 20+ lb Jack with a couple that walked out on the jetty I think there names were
Dylan and Sara they took pictures I'm wait on them to send me the pictures.
But when we put the jack back in the water the shark came in and ate him in 3 passes. earlier that day.
Got ahold of Dylan here are the pictures of that Jack.
Here are some more videos from that day I just found. 12/9/11
