OFFSHORE-  Fishing has been fairly decent offshore this week: Unfortunately it looks like the weather is going to keep everybody at the dock headed into the weekend.  Sailfish action has been good; with most boats getting at least a few chances and double digit chances not out of the question.  Live baits (Goggle Eyes or small Blue Runners) under the kite are the way to go for the sails.  Best depth on the sails has bounced around; with 150-250' generally being a pretty safe bet.  A handful of dolphin mixed in with the sailfish in the same depth.  Blackfin tuna action has been good as well, especially up to the north.  Bottom fishing reports have been a bit slow, with a handful of mutton snapper being caught.    

INSHORE-  Only a few days left before snook season closes for the winter.  Snook fishing has been decent this week; however cooler weather will no doubt slow the bite down.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up on dark mud bottom.  At night the snook are on the bridges; and are quickly switching to a largely shrimp based diet.  Outgoing tide tends to be the best bet for the snook.  The snook have also been hanging around docklights, along with scattered tarpon as well as.  Sheepshead action has started to improve inshore.  Live shrimp is a solid choice for the sheepshead.  Bridges and boat dock pilings with heavy barnacle growth is a great place to look for the sheepshead.    

SURF/PIER-  A little slower fishing along the beach this week.  A few scattered pompano around, but no big catches.  Spanish Mackerel action has started to get good in Peck's Lake (though it will be. washout this weekend).  Jacks have been cruising the beach in decent numbers.  Most of the jacks have been on the smaller side; with a few bigger ones in the mix.  Blacktip sharks have been around in good numbers.  A fresh chunk of bait won't go unnoticed long by a passing shark.  Has been a fair number of croaker around as well.     

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt. Seas 5 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: NE 8 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters rough in exposed areas.

SAT THROUGH SUN...NE winds 25 to 30 kt. Seas 7 to 10 ft, occasionally to 13 ft. Wave Detail: E 9 ft at 7 seconds and NW 3 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters very rough in exposed areas. A chance of showers.

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action remains good offshore. Live baits (goggle eyes and blue runners) under the kite are the best bet for the sails.  Best depth has bounced around depending on water conditions; with 120-175' being a good general depth to start the hunt.  Not as many dolphin reports this week; with mainly a few bigger dolphin coming in the same depth as the sailfish.  Blackfin tuna reports have been good in 200-300' of water.   Bottom fishing was a bit slower this week.  Conditions overall were not the most ideal offshore this week.  If reports improve as the week goes on we will try to update the report.    
​
INSHORE-  Snook fishing slowed a bit this week with the cooler weather, but still a fair number around. The shrimp jig bite has picked up with the cooler weather, especially around the bridges at night.  As the air and water temp fall the snook's metabolism naturally slows down, which makes smaller baits and slower presentations a key.  Still a week and a half left before the season closes(12/15); so be sure to get after them now if you're looking to bring a snook home for the holidays.  Sheepshead action has improved over the past week, with a few black drum in the mix as well.  The jacks have been in Palm Beach Inlet in big numbers.     

SURF/PIER-  A little slower this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Pompano action did seem to improve a little as the water cleaned up.  Fishbites and sand fleas are the bait of choice for the pompano.   A scattering of bluefish and Spanish Mackerel  around.  The jacks, including some good size ones, have been cruising the beach in decent numbers. Croaker and whiting have been biting in the first trough on small pieces of fresh shrimp.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NW winds 5 to 10 kt, increasing to 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 3 ft at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

FRI NIGHT THROUGH MON...SE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 6 seconds and E 3 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

We teamed up with JYG Pro Fishing on this awesome Instagram raffle...check out the post on our IG page for more details. 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday.  Somehow the fishing report slipped my mind (I never even thought about it once yesterday!!!) with everything going on.  

OFFSHORE-  Still a scattering of dolphin offshore, with most of them coming in 200-400' of water.  It remains smaller packs of fish for the most part. with a bigger fish or two in the mix.  If your targeting dolphin specifically try trolling smaller baits (bonita strips and squid or a small trolling lure like a Ballyhood All-Star).  Sailfish action continues to improve in 120-200' of water.  Live baits under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish, but don't be too surprised when a nice dolphin comes up and takes a shot at that expensive goggle eye intended for a sailfish.  Blackfin tuna remain mixed in with the sailfish and dolphin in good numbers.  Wahoo action slowed down a lot this week, but still a decent number caught.  Snapper fishing was fair this week, with the usual assortment of yellowtails, mutton, and occasional mangrove in 60-120' of water.  Current wa s a touch slower as well so some vermilion came up in 180-300' of water as well.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  Still a fair number of mullet hanging around keeping the snook fired up on bigger baits.  The Loxahatchee River continues to produce a few good ones during the day, while the bridges are the way to go at night.  The bridge bite remains a mixture of big and small baits; with flair hawks and swimbaits producing, as well as smaller shrimp jigs.  The jacks have been in Palm Beach Inlet in good numbers this week.  A lot of small to medium jacks, with a few bruisers in the mix as well.  The sheepshead and black drum are starting to bite better up north (Stuart/Jensen), with a few showing up locally as well.  

SURF/PIER-  Despite nice conditions most of the week; fishing was a little slower along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week.  Pompano bit good early n the week for a day or two, and then slowed down drastically.  Still; most people putting in the time on the beach have been catching a pompano or two (Reel them in quick...the sharks are showing back up in bigger numbers!). Spanish Mackerel have been around in decent numbers.  Small flashy metal jigs, Clark Spoons, and Flash Minnows have been good lure choices for the Mackerel.  A good numbers of jacks (Mostly 2-5 pounders) along the beach; with a few scattered bluefish as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
TODAY...W winds around 5 kt. Seas less than 2 ft or less, then around 2 ft in the afternoon. Wave Detail: NW 1 foot at 2 seconds, becoming NW 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth.

SAT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft. Wave Detail: N 6 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers.

Capt Jeff of Ten X charters and his brother Luke with a little Pre-Thanksgiving Tuna Run!

OFFSHORE- Fishing was very good offshore this week, with a variety of reports coming in.  Dolphin reports have been good in 200-500' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a great way to go for the dolphin.  The dolphin for the most part have been in small packs and out roaming.  Finding current rips, floating debris, or large areas of flying fish will increase your odds on the dolphin.  Sailfish action improved this week in 120-250' of water.  Live goggle eyes or blue runners (which both are in very short supply right now) under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish.  Good numbers of sails released this week, with a couple of boats seeing double digits.  Wahoo fishing was absolutely insane early in the week.  Just about everyone pulling a planer and bonita strip or Nomad DTX minnow had a wahoo bite, with a lot of boats getting multiple shots.  Early morning, late afternoon, and tide changes will be the best bet for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing has been good this week.  A nice amount of yellowtail snapper being caught, with a few muttons in the mix as well.  A mixture of porgies, grunts, and other assorted species in the mix as well on the bottom.       

INSHORE- Snook fishing was very good inshore this week ahead of the front.  Still a decent number of medium size mullet around, and the snook have been all over them.  Docks and seawalls with some current on them will be the best spot to look for snook during the day.  At night the snook have been around the bridges in good numbers.  The top of the outgoing tide seems to be working best for the snook.  Medium sized swimbaits and shrimp jigs have been working well for the snook around the bridge.  Sheepshead and black drum are biting a little better this week with cooler water.  Live shrimp is a solid bait choice for both of them.  A few tarpon moving around in Palm Beach Inlet, along with a few big jacks.  Cooler water should start to improve the fishing around Munyan Island and Hobe Sound/Jupiter Island flats.   

SURF/PIER-  Fishing improved along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier early in the week; before tapering off a bit at time of writing.  Pompano reports picked cup a bit, with a few more showing up along the beach.  It hasn't been limits, but catching 2 or 3 pomps was not out of the question this week.  Early morning has been the best bet for the pompano.  Spanish Mackerel action was good at the Juno Beach Pier early in the week.  Crappie jigs, small Rapala X-Raps, and small metal flash jigs have all been solid lure choices for the Macs.  A few bluefish around this week, but no big numbers.  The jacks, mostly smaller, have been around in big numbers.  A decent number of croakers and whiting around.  Small pieces of fresh shrimp is the best bait for them.  The blacktip sharks have been around in decent numbers.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NW winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft, occasionally to 9 ft. Wave Detail: N 7 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

​Sick catch from Kieran (IG @ kidder1003) fishing with Captain Eric of Countyline Charters
(www.countylinecharters.com) in the Loxahatchee River this week.  

OFFSHORE-  Some good fishing reports offshore this week (amazing what a little weather window will do!).  Dolphin fishing was good in 200-500' of water.  Most of the dolphin were 5-10lbs, with a handful of bigger fish in the mix.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains the best bet for the dolphin.  Sailfish action has been good in 150-250' of water.  Live baits under the kite are by far the best bet for the sailfish.  A live bait under the kite will also work on a passing dolphin.  Wahoo fishing has been very good this week on the moon.  A seawitch and bonita strip behind the planer is a solid choice for the wahoo.  A Nomad DTX minnow is also a solid choice for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing bite was good as well.  A mixture of yellowtail, mutton, and mangrove snapper around.  

INSHORE-  A little bit slower inshore this week.  Snook fishing remains fair, but it is slowing down a bit.  The full moon definitely has the snook feeding better at night.  Bridges with a defined shadow line and docklights will be the best bet for the snook.  With the water still being a bit off colored both incoming/outgoing tides will produce; the water just needs to be moving.  Still been a decent bite on the jig and bigger swimbaits; but the shrimp jig is really starting to produce as well.  Starting to see a few more sheepshead show up inshore, along with a small scattering of black drum.  The drum and sheepshead reports have been a little better to the north of us (Stuart/Jensen).  A handful of scattered jacks (including some big ones) cruising ICW seawalls this week.  Best action on the jacks will be early morning and late afternoon.  A loud noisy topwater or NLBN Lil' Mullet is hard to beat for the jacks.     

SURF/PIER-  Weather and sea conditions improved a bit this week, and so did the fishing.  Pompano action picked up along Juno/Jupiter Beach.  It wasn't huge numbers, but those spending some time on the beach got a handful of bites from the pompano.  Sandfleas and Fishbites have been the bait of choice for the pomps.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a good Spanish Mackerel bite, along with a good number of smaller jacks.  Small swimming plugs and diamond jigs have been a solid lure choice for the mackerel and jacks.  Croaker/whiting bite has been good on small pieces of fresh shrimp.  Conditions look good for the bluefish to bite this weekend.  A loud noisy popper, GT Ice Cream, or Silver spoon is a solid lure choice for the bluefish.  Lots of blacktop sharks along the beach.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...W winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming N 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NW 4 ft at 6 seconds and NE 3 ft at 11 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers in the afternoon. .

OFFSHORE-  Once again weather this week has pretty much kept everyone at the dock; leaving very little for me to write about again.  The weather does look a little nicer headed into the weekend.  It's not going to be calm by any means, but at least we are getting to at least throw the "fishable" term around a bit.  Pressure has been non existent offshore, so the fish should be chewing.  It's the right time of year to see our fall push of dolphin come through.  East winds should help push the dolphin in a bit shallower.  Look for the dolphin to likely be in 150-300' of water.  Trolling bonita strips, squid, and small ballyhoo will be a great way to go for the dolphin.  Sailfish should also begin to start showing up in little better numbers.  About time to get the kite fishing gear out and dialed in, the sails will be tailing down sea very soon.  Snapper fishing will likely be very good on the reef.  Pressure has been super light, so the first sardines they start seeing are going to be gobbled up quick!  As the weather gets a little nicer, and the reports start coming in I'll try to update the report. 

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  Still some mullet around; but the snook are starting to make that fall switch over to shrimp and smaller baits.  During the day live millet fished along seawalls remains a great way to go.  At night the bridge bite has been good on the shrimp jig and smaller swimbaits.  The snook are still biting the jig; but the smaller stuff is really beginning to play a bit better.  As the water begins to cool a bit (it's been a slow process) the inshore action will start to improve.  It is getting to be time for the sheepshead and black drum to show up inshore.  Could still be a few redfish around, though it sounds like those reports have fallen way off.  

SURF/PIER-  Rough weather and dirty water has kept reports to a minimum.  On days the water has some decent color (in other words not straight mud) the croaker and whiting have been biting pieces of fresh shrimp.  A few pompano around; though not in huge numbers.  As it calms down a bit and the water gets back to normal the pomps should start to show up in better numbers.   The Juno Beach Pier has had a pretty good amount of small jacks around, with some small blues mixed in as well.  Hopefully the weather breaks a bit and the water improves.  When it does we should see some lights out fishing!  We will update report if things turn on into the weekend.

The Yo-Zuri 3DS Minnow is a killer all around lure.  Snook, Bass, Peacock Bass, and a host of others will smash it...but Fisher catching this snakehead on it was a first for me! 

OFFSHORE-  It's fitting to be writing the fishing report this week on Halloween...because the fishing (or complete lack of) and weather offshore right now are downright scary!!!  Weather has kept everyone at the dock this week; and though the weather forecast for the weekend has improved a bit, it doesn't look like anybody will be in a mad rush to get offshore!  When the weather breaks a bit and the wind slows down the fishing will likely be on fire; just hard to say when that's going to happen.  

INSHORE-  It's windy inshore and fishing in a 20mph wind is hard, but the snook are biting.  The mullet schools have really started to thin out, but the snook are taking advantage of the ones hanging around.  Early morning and late afternoon look for snook to be laying along seawalls and under boat docks waiting for mullet to be swept to them with the tide.  Loud noisy topwater lures are a great choice in this situation.  Try to present the lure as a disoriented or injured mullet coming down the seawall with the tide.   Remember also a 20mph wind can create it's on current on top, so use the wind to your advantage when possible.   At night the snook have been stalking bridge shadow lines.  A flair hawk jig or bigger body swimbait is a great way to go in this situation.  The snook have also started to eat the shrimp jig, but hare still jumping on the bigger baits as well.  

SURF/PIER- The surf report is like the Halloween offshore report...fishing and weather so bad it's downright SCARY!!!  Not much to write about as fishing has been very tough.  A few days the weather wasn't as bad produced a fair whiting/croaker bite on the pier, along with a few ribbonfish.  Overall fishing remains very tough.  But when the weather breaks watch out...the fishing is going to be on fire!!!

​Jasper taking a boat ride, and  wondering if the wind is ever going to stop blowing?!?!?!

OFFSHORE- Not a lot to write about offshore from the past week; and not a whole lot to predict for the upcoming weekend (see forecast below).   As the ocean calmed down following Hurricane Milton late last weekend, into the early part of the week the dolphin fishing was pretty good.  A handful of boats slipped out; with most reporting good catches in 200-500' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips around floating debris proved the most effective.  The window though was short lived, and wind picked back up briskly Wednesday afternoon keeping everyone at the dock for the most part.  Good weekend to start getting the sailfish gear ready...they should be snapping soon!  

INSHORE-  Good push of finger mullet inshore this week, with the ICW and Loxahatchee River really popping off.  Snook and jacks took the most advantage of the fingers showing up, but a good number of tarpon and even a few redfish showed up as well.  Typically the best acton around mullet schools comes early in the morning and late afternoon.  Good north winds this weekend could help keep activity a little better through out the day though.  Fishing in the wind can make things a little tougher; but it no doubt can fire the bite up.  Focus on ambush points, docks, and seawalls with current (or wind forced current) for best luck.  A topwater (Yo-Zuri Pencil, TopKnock, Skitterwalk) is a great choice when fish are actively feeding on top.  A slight subsurface soft plastic jerk bait (NLBN Mini or Lil Mullet are great choices) can be a good choice when the fish aren't feeding quite as actively on top.  As water temps gradually begin to drop other inshore action will begin to improve as well. 

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier has been very productive over the past week.  The fall transition is definitely underway.  Bluefish, mostly smaller, have started to make a good showing.  Pompano have been around in good numbers, biting both bait and jigs pretty good.  No hot jig color yet, but brighter colors (pink, orange, char) seem to be getting a few more bites.  The Pier has had some big Spanish Mackerel around this week.  A midsize Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri 3DS Minnow have been producing some really nice Macs.  A few redfish have been caught on the pier; with a bigger love shrimp being a prime bait choice for them.  This week also saw a big push of ribbonfish at the pier.  Surf fishing will be tough this weekend with the way the forecast looks.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: NE 8 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters rough in exposed areas.

Brian (IG @Brian_Allen_561) and his son rocking some lucky new hats! 

OFFSHORE-  Hard to write much here this week.  It's a lot of would/could/should for the most part.  If the forecast holds and the ocean calms down as expected we could see the first early season sailfish bite pop off.  A big early season north swell could have the sails tailing early.  Dolphin fishing could also be very good.  Will be a little bit of a wait and see what happens with the weather/ocean this weekend. 

INSHORE-  Snook fishing was very good ahead of the storm.  The snook have been feeding on mullet during the day.  Seawalls, boat docks, and other prime ambush points will be the best places to target the snook.  At night the snook have been hanging around the bridges in good numbers.  Flair Hawk Jigs and bigger body swimbaits are the best bet lure wise for the snook.  Both incoming and outgoing tide should produce bites (It's unlikely that we will have a crystal clear incoming tide this week).  This is the time of year you expect to see a few redfish mixed in with the snook as well.  It's by no means a huge number of reds, but if you're going to catch one in Palm Beach County it is likely to be in the middle two weeks of October.  

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier will remain closed through at least Friday with very heavy surf forecasted (See below).  If the forecast holds and the surf falls over the next few days, we could see the Juno Beach Pier really fire off.  The hope will be that the snapper push back in with the swell.  Early in the week the pompano made the first good showing of the season at the pier.  Most of the pomps were short; but a few keepers did come over the rail.  The pompano were biting Doc's Goofy Jigs, JYG Pro Micro Jigs, and Fishbites well.  Expect a nice push of pompano after this north swell.  Bluefish have started to show up as well.  Spanish Mackerel action has been a bit spotty, but still some around.  The bluefin showing up has not chased all the snook off the beach; but it won't take ling for that to happen.  The beach did have a lot of mullet (mostly scattered and not in big pods) as Hurricane Milton pushed offshore, with some big tarpon around.  As the swell comes down we should see some more mullet pushing down the beach.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing has remained good this week, with both decent numbers and some decent size fish being caught.  The dolphin have been scattered depth wise; with a reports coming from 150' one day and over a 1000' the next.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a solid way to go for the dolphin.  Current rips, color changes, weedlines, and floating debris remain the key to finding the dolphin.  East winds in the forecast for the weekend should help keep the dolphin pushed in a little shallower.  Blackfin tuna have been mixed in as well; with 200-400' being the best depth on the tuna.  Small trolling feathers fished way back are a great way to go for the blackfin.  Should be some wahoo around on the new moon.  The new moon doesn't fire them up quite like the full moon, but it does help for sure!  Early season sails have been around for those putting the kites up.  It's not double digit releases, but at least a few chances a trip has been pretty common on the sails.  Snapper fishing has been pretty good this week, with a lot of muttons around (just a lot of short ones to pick through).   

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  The mullet seem to have thinned out a bit, but the snook continue to bite.  Best action on the snook will be early morning, late afternoon, at night, and on key tide changes.  The snook are still keyed in on mullet; a key point to remember when picking out lures.  Topwaters, like a Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil, are a great choice in lowlight conditions for explosive strikes.  At night flair hawk jigs and bigger swimbaits are a great way to go.  Still a handful of tarpon and jacks mixed in the action as well.  It is also the time of year that we do start to see a redfish or two as well.  

SURF/PIER-  The surf (and Juno Beach Pier) as a whole have been a little hit or miss this week.  A few mullet pods cruising by, but overall it has slowed way down on the mullet.  The pods that are left do have some tarpon hanging around, as well as early season bluefish showing up.  The Juno Beach Pier has had some snook this week, but the bite is slow.  Live shrimp has been a solid choice for the snook.  Still a decent number of small mutton snapper hanging around the pier, but no keepers this week.  Spanish Mackerel bite has been fair.  A decent number of blue runners mixed in with the Spanish Macs.  Pompano have been around, but not on a daily basis.  The pomps will bite pretty good one day, and then be a no show for two or three days in a row.

Our friend Drew sent us this pic from last weekend.  Nice scattered Mahi bite for them off Jupiter from 500-1000' of water.  Bonita strips and ballyhoo did the trick!
