• Made it up to Palm Beach yesterday morning close to 8am, left about 6:30am. Wind conditions from shore seemed to be calm, I was hesitant to go pier fishing because that usually doesn't bode well, however when we arrived, there was a light breeze about 5-8 miles out of the east.
• This made it almost ideal conditions, there was just enough ripple in the water.
• Great action on schooling bluefish 1-2 lb range, there was no shortage and they hit just about every lure you threw at them.
• They really seemed to favor fast lures worked near the top of the column and bottom fishing with cut bait didn't work at all, maybe due to the calm waters.
• Overall great fishing, we took our limit and plan them for the hickory smoker.
• A great morning and day with Mom and Gladys,  very lucky it went our way.
