OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing has been fantastic all week, with good numbers and good size fish around.  The nice thing is most, if not just about ALL, of the fish have been caught inside 200′ of water; making for a quick ride for those fishing from Jupiter Inlet south.  Trolling ballhyoo, bonita strips, squid, mullet, small trolling feathers, and jetheads should all produce a few mahi-mahi bites.  Those fishing livebaits for sailfish between 100-160′ are finding a good number of dolphin as well.  The sailfish bite slowed down this week, but a little north-northeast wind should get them snapping again.  Jupiter Inlet to Palm Beach Inlet was the place to be for the most action most of the week.  In with the dolphin and sails were a good number of small kingfish, scattered cobia, and even a stray wahoo or two.  Bottom fishing was very good most of the week, with a above average bite on the mutton snapper this week.  Sardines or squid still are the best producing baits for the bottom fish.

INSHORE- Snook season is back open, and with the mild winter we’ve been having the fish are around in good numbers and feeding well.  As usual with the snook, nighttime and good current will produce the most bites.  Keep in mind this time of year the main diet for snook is shrimp when picking out baits and lures.  Other inshore action has been spotty.  The Intracoastal north of Jupiter is holding some ladyfish, jacks, trout, and a few pompano.

SURF/PIER- Pompano fishing has been a little better over the past week, but still not great.  The spinner and blacktip sharks are showing up in decent numbers.  Spanish Mackerel and bluefish action is scattered at best.  Wish I had more to write about the surf fishing, just not a great winter for it…
