Florida Fishing out of Boca Raton - offshore

[JohnMckroidJr]

Last Monday I did a trip out of Boca Raton, Florida. I launched out of the inlet with the out going tide at 430am in darkness to catch bait. Bait fishing for the prime live bait: Big Eye Scad (aka Goggle Eyes) was super slow, but my buddy and I were able to fill up our live wells with a few each, plus all the Blue Runners we wanted. One of the problems with fishing Blue Runners is they constantly swim back to and hide under the kayak if one stops moving. At 0630, I headed out to 160ft to deploy baits before sunrise.
