I would have loved to see the lagoon in its prime. I've heard it was incredible. Hopefully with the ongoing conservation efforts and an engaged and informed public it will get back to its former glory one day.

You had a great view of the launch!! Nice video! Last year when I launched out of there at sunrise, there was a huge pack of wild hogs. I had to wait for them to leave before I got out of my car!

Welcome to my neck of the woods. You are right. The fishing hasn’t been what it use to there.

Palm Beach Pete Kind of slow. There's no grass anywhere. Been catching fish sporadically during peak times (Dawn and dusk). The day time bite is non-existent.

I am starting to see more redfish here in Palm coutty. But I feel like these fish are misplaced because of the grass situation. Like they are looking for more habitible locations.

Nice vid palm beach Pete. Do you stay up here near the ML? Yeah those DOA’s catch fish period.

I will fish up here a few times a year.

Is it safe to paddleboard fish with an 11ft inflatable in the lagoon, especially if going solo, ie., would I be at risk of an alligator or bull shark encounter or attack if I fished those islands, being unfamiliar nesting areas? Just don't to get in over my my head, safety-wise, so to speak.

You should be fine. The only risk to look out for is the boats. I often see sharks swimming by as I paddle. They are cool to look at.

I would be more worried about sailcats puncturing anything inflatable more than alligators or sharks

I was at the Dale Wimbrow park trying to catch tiny tarpon when the rocket pass

If you have a "Beautiful America" pass they will honor it for the launch and parking fees. I've paddled across the lagoon from Beacon 42 over to Padron Island a couple of times. The fishing can be really good over there because of less pressure. I learned the hard way though to make sure ahead of time that the wind is at your back going both ways... I have been fishing out of WSEG lately with some luck, and even made a couple of videos from there. I used to work at the Cape for 20 years and got laid off back in 2011 when NASA shut the Shuttle program down. Oh well, more time to fish...

Thanks. I'll try those both out.

For those that bring a drone anyways you will lose it. They have the ability to take control of your drone. They can land it or kill it. And they also will know exactly where it's at and where it was launched from.

Hey Pete,Went up to KARS Park last week and the water conditions and fishing was terrible. I should have known something was up at the launch site when I saw about a dozen dead horse shoe crabs all over the place. I paddled all the way to the spoil islands which is north and hit all the flats and only got one sea trout. The water quality was terrible. I could see 2 or 3 inches into the water. You were right saying there was no sea grass at all up there. Hoping it will change maybe in the future or maybe try a little north next time.Thanks

redvarmint123 the banana river lagoon system is in dying shape right now. Brown tide goin’ on. The Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River seem to produce for me.

Just subscribed. This is my neck of the woods and have launched from Beacon 42 a lot in the past but not since the new ramps have been put in. I was a little further south at the Biolab ramp when this launch occurred. Check out my channel if you get a chance.
