The spring brings warmer waters and more fish into this area. Inshore, snook and jacks offer good fishing. Cobia, pompano, jacks, Spanish mackerel, bluefish and whiting are found along the beaches. Some of these fish are found in the surf, while others will require a boat for better fishing. Offshore, anglers head out of the Palm Beach Inlet to target the Gulf Stream for billfish, mahi mahi, wahoo and tuna. The spring is usually best for mahi mahi.

In the summer, fishing is in full swing here with so many different fish to target. The weather may be hot, but if you can handle the heat, the fishing can be very good. Snook fishing is very good around the inlet, while the tarpon bite is very good in the summer too. There are plenty of other fish inshore and along the beaches.

| Month | Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo) |
| September | 89° / 75° |
| October | 85° / 72° |
| November | 81° / 66° |
As the water temperatures cool in the fall, the bite stays strong in this area for so many different species of fish. The annual fall mullet run provides some of the most exciting fishing of the year for a variety of different species. Tarpon and snook get a lot of attention from anglers who fish inshore and near the Palm Beach Inlet during the fall. This is the time of year to catch good numbers of fish with lots of big fish too.
Fishing West Palm Beach, FL in the Winter
| Month | Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo) |
| December | 77° / 61° |
| January | 75° / 57° |
| February | 77° / 60° |
The cooler winter months can provide some excellent fishing opportunities in this area since it really isn’t that cold down here. Many migratory species of fish will move back down the coast as they follow the mullet in the fall, but then the warm water temperatures will keep them down here in the winter. Anglers may catch pompano, bluefish and Spanish mackerel through the winter along the beaches. The typical resident fish found inshore will usually bite well all winter. Offshore, sailfish hit their peak in the winter, however, you do have to deal with the winter winds that can make the waves a lot tougher to deal with in the offshore waters.
