Situated nine miles north of West Palm Beach, the Village of North Palm Beach is a haven for boating, shopping, and dining. Because the Village is close to the Palm Beach Inlet, as well as to a host of marina facilities, North Palm Beach attracts fishermen and boaters, alike. Boasting 12,500 residents, North Palm Beach offers an elite selection of waterfront and Intracoastal properties.

The Honda Classic golf tournament donated a phenomenal $4.55 million to South Florida children’s charities in 2018, increasing the PGA TOUR’s impact on the lives of local children for the 12th consecutive year.

Grouper caught on a dead sardine bottom fishing for snapper, Photo Courtesy of Reel Intense Fishing

With the mullet run being the highlight of the past couple of weeks, most fishing has been geared toward snook, large tarpon, and amberjack chasing schools through inlets, inshore, on the beach, and at the Juno Pier.

Reef anglers should be catching some kingfish and snapper this time of year, but this week has…

Pictured: Snook Caught by Michael O'Connor

The weekend we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: the first weekend of snook season! Oh yeah, and it also happens to be Labor Day weekend. Not only do you have three full days to take home your snook-a-day bag limit, but you also have the notion of the “hard workers holiday” to validate your much-needed R&R time.

The name of the game is snook this weekend, but make sure you know the regulations and have your permit, because FWC will surely be out in full force. While the mullet run hasn’t completely caught fire yet, catch and release snook fishing has been plentiful lately, with the Palm Beach Inlet, Juno Pier, Jupiter Inlet, and Loxahatchee River churning with keepers ready to be your catch of…
