OFFSHORE-  Dolphin reports were very scattered this week.  Hard to say where to go look for them as reports of scattered dolphin came in from 250-1500' of water.   Blind trolling produced some dolphin, as did running and gunning in search of floating debris.  Small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and trolling squid are all good bait choices for the dolphin right now.  Blackfin tuna are being caught in 200-300' of water on small trolling feathers and small daisy chains.  Kingfish bite has been pretty good in 100-200' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  Live sardines are the top bait choice for the kings, with dead sardines also producing a fair number of bites as well.  Snapper fishing has been a bit day to day.  One day the mutton and yellowtail reports are very good, the next day it seems tough to buy a bite.  Sardines remain the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore right now, especially closer to the inlets. Jupiter Inlet has had a good snook bite over the past week.   Last weekend to invite a snook home for dinner for a few months so don't miss out on the opportunity!  Still a fair number of tarpon around inshore, along with some nice bruiser jacks.  Mangrove snapper fishing has been improving inshore as well.  

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier has had pretty solid snook action this week.  The snook have been biting live baits, dead sardines on bottom, as well as swimbaits early in the morning.  Spanish Mackerel action has also been good at the pier, with white crappie jigs being the best lure choice.  Still a fair number of late season pompano around, especially as you travel a little farther north.

OFFSHORE-  The blackfin tuna, including some very good sized ones, continue to be the best news offshore.  Look for the tuna to bite best early in the morning and late in the afternoon in 200-300' of water out of Palm Beach Inlet.  Live baits fished down a little deeper on light leader have been the key for catching the bigger blackfin tuna.  Dolphin reports were a little hit or miss this week.  Biggest factor in dolphin fishing (as it usually is) is some luck in finding them.  No depth in particular for the dolphin so be prepared to cover some water to find them.  Kingfish are around in good numbers as well.  The kings have been scattered from the Juno Beach Pier to the Loran Tower in 120-150' of water.  Live baits will be the best bet for the kings.  Still a fair number of late season sailfish around.  Bottom fishing remains pretty good, with a nice mix of yellowtail and mutton snapper around.  Sardines and threadfins remain the bait of choice for the bottom fish.  After Friday the weather report looks pretty good offshore...should be a good weekend to get after it! 

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  Good amounts of bait inshore right now have the snook fired up and eating as they begin to move towards the inlet.  Live pilchards and threadfins will be top bait choices for the snook, while flair hawk jigs and swimbaits in pearl and green/white color combos are also getting bit good.  Only another week of snook season so be sure to get after them now before the summer closed season.  The tarpon have still been back in the Loxahatchee River.  Look for them to be up rolling early in the morning.  Mangrove snapper are starting to bite decently, especially around the bridges at night.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp will be good bait choices for them.  

SURF/PIER-  Reports have been a bit slower than expected from the Juno Beach Pier and local beaches this week as anglers hit the boards and sand after a two month break.  Calm clear conditions (Monday-Wed Morning) and now a building swell for a few days will further complicate getting the reports dialed in.  The snook are starting to show up on the beach, and at the pier.  The water temp is still a bit cool, so the snook are not fired up on the lures just yet.  On the pier live baits (which have been a bit tough to come by) and dead sardines have been the ticket for the snook.  Lots of glass minnows on the beach over the past few days, with a decent number of Spanish Mackerel following along with them. Tarpon have been along the beach in goods numbers as well.  The tarpon for the most part have been out of range from shore bound anglers. The Jupiter Inlet has had a few snook around, along with a good number of moonfish.  Not much to report on the pompano locally this week, but reports of fish up in Martin County and farther north continue to come in.  FishBites and sand fleas remain the bait of choice for the pompano.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas to 8 feet. Period 11 seconds becoming 4 seconds in the afternoon. North northeast swell 4 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers.

SUNDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Chance of showers through the day. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

MONDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Chance of showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE:  Offshore fishing remained good again this week for those able to get out.  Still seeing a nice late season sailfish bite, with most boats getting multiple chances.  While the sail bite has bounced around a bit, it seems a little more consistent down to the south of Palm Inlet.  The Blackfin Tuna bite remains very good out of Palm Beach Inlet as well.  The tuna are biting best in 200-300' of water, especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Live pilchards are a great bait choice for he bigger blackfin.  Try to keep the leader light and get the baits down a bit for the best luck.  Kingfish remain scattered along the 120' ledge in good numbers from the Juno Beach Pier to the Loran Tower.  The big school continues to push around a bit, but pretty much up and down the line has a chance to produce some fish.  Snapper fishing was good as well again this week.  Some really big yellowtail snapper being caught in 90' of water off the Juno Beach Pier, along with a good scattering of mutton snapper.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains very good inshore.  The best action remains at night around the bridges; but the inlets are also starting to produce very well during the day as well.  Flairhawk jigs and big swimbaits are working at the bridges, while live bait is going to be key in the inlet.  Look for the top of the outgoing tide to produce the best results, but windy rough conditions offshore could stir the water up enough to trigger a good incoming bite as well.  Other inshore action remains fair.  Still a fair number of tarpon around inshore, along with a good scattering of jacks.  Good action on sandperch in the ICW as well right now using cut shrimp.  

SURF/PIER:   Up to the north the pompano are still biting, but action is definitely beginning to slow on them.  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBItes remain the bait of choice for the pomps.  Croaker are biting small pieces of shrimp in the first trough.  Snook are starting to get out on the beach a bit more, along with the start of the tarpon moving north.  NOt much of a forecast for the beach this weekend, but hopefully we will see some more access open up next week along with a little nicer weather! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East northeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts to around 30 knots along the coast to east northeast 20 to 25 knots with gusts to around 35 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas to 9 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters rough in exposed areas. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Showers. Chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...North northwest winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Chance of showers. Chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...North winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

OFFSHORE-  Fishing has been good offshore again this week.  Best action has, for the most part, remained in 120-300' of water.  Springtime fishing is in full effect with a good assortment of species around.  Kingfish, blackfin tuna, cobia, and sailfish have provided most of the action offshore.  Live baiting with pilchards, threadfin, and sardines (all of which have been pretty readily available on local bait spots) is going to provide the most action along the edge right now.  Drifting with dead baits (threadfins, sardines, and ballyhoo) will also produce good results as well.  Best action will be early morning and late afternoon.  Backside of the full moon will hopefully provide some good wahoo action this weekend.  Dolphin fishing was a bit slower this week, but still a fair number of them around.  Just takes some looking to find them right now.  Out deeper the tilefish action has been good this week; with squid being the bait of choice for them.  Inside the 120' ledge snapper fishing remains good on the bottom.  Been some really nice mutton snapper caught over the past week.  Sardines (preferably fresh caught ones) will be the best bait on the bottom, but bonita strips will also get some solid bites.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing has been good this week, with some good numbers of fish pushing towards the inlets.  The bridges are producing a pretty good bite at night, especially on an outgoing tide.  With very clear water around this week, the later part of the outgoing tide will provide a little dirtier water and easier chance to trick the snook.  The tarpon have also been around in good numbers.  Flair hawk jigs (especially the new Justice Jigs we have in-stock) and SpoolTek's remain a solid choice at the bridge.  Mangrove snapper are showing up inshore in better numbers over the past week.  Live shrimp and small live pilchards will be the best bait for the mangroves.    

SURF/PIER-  Still not much access on the beach locally, but up the coast surf fishing has been good.  Solid pompano bite starting at Hutchison Island and north over the past week.  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBites will be the best bait for the pomps.  Some big jacks cruising the beach this week.  Good number of tarpon moving north over the past week.  Should be about time for the early season snook to start showing up along the beach as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet along the coast and 3 to 5 feet with occasional to 6 feet in the Gulf Stream. Period 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SATURDAY...West winds 5 to 10 knots becoming east northeast in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. .

SUNDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 25 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet along the coast and 3 to 5 feet with occasional to 6 feet in the Gulf Stream. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Pretty good mixed bag action offshore this week.  Sailfish action remains good for late in the season.  Decent number of dolphin around, but they remain very scattered depth wise.  Blackfin action is good in 200-300' of water.  Troll small feathers for best luck on the tuna.  The Yo-Zuri High Speed Vibe has also been producing some very nice sized blackfin.  Kingfish action has been very good in 120-150' of water.  Cobia remain scattered along the 120' ledge as well.  Overall, it's very good spring time fishing offshore right now.  NIce looking forecast for the weekend...take advantage of it! 

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore, and with the ability to get access snook reports should improve.  THe snook are definitly pushing towards the inlets, with bridges close by being a great starting spot for them.  Look for bigger swimbaits and jigs to be good for the snook now, as they key in on bigger baits.  Lots of bait inshore right now, so jacks and tarpon should be around as well.  About time for some mangrove snapper to start showing up inshore.   

SURF/PIER-  Surf reports up to the north have been very good.  Pompano fishing has been very good, with some nice size fish in the mix  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBItes have all been working well for the pompano.  Croakers and whiting have been biting good on small pieces of shrimp.  Some nice schools of jacks cruising around to test your tackle.  Snook are starting to show up a little bit on the beach.  Some tarpon cruising the beach as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...North winds 5 to 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet along the coast and 2 to 4 feet with occasional to 5 feet in the Gulf Stream. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin reports remained good this week, just a wider swing on where to find them.  One day it was 300-500' of water, and the next it was 1300'.  No extreme pattern to it, so keep your eye out for good water and signs of life to find the dolphin.  Springtime fishing in 150-300' of water has been in full swing.  Still a good number of late season sailfish around.  Blackfin tuna action remains good.  Kingfish bite has been really good in 120-150' of water.  The kings have been bouncing around a bit, but the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet remains pretty consistent.  Lots of cobia around over the past week.  Snapper fishing remains very good...just have to manage to sneak them up past the sharks! 

INSHORE-  Snoolk fishing remains good inshore; they definitly have their noses pointed to the inlet.  Access remains a bit of a problem, but if you can find a spot the snook have been cooperating.  We have some super cool custom snook jigs in-stock that have been producing very well!  Look for outgoing tide to produce the best action.  A few mangrove snapper reports starting to come in from inshore.  Sandperch action remains pretty good in the ICW as well.  

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier remains closed, with no  timeline for reopening at the moment.  With beach access cut down to basically nothing, surf reports remain very slim.  Conditions look right for the pompano to be along the beach the past few days.  Spring/summer bait is slowing up along the beach.  Hearing some reports of tarpon and jacks 
moving along the beach.

OFFSHORE-  Reports slowed a bit this week, but overall remain pretty good for those able to get out.  Steady pick of springtime action continues on dolphin, blackfin tuna, cobia, kingfish, and the occasional wahoo.  Springtime sailfish action remains good as well.  Bottom fishing reports remain good, with some solid snapper reports coming in.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains pretty good right now.  As is the case with most things fishing in our area, access remains the biggest challenge.  The snook are biting at night around the bridges.  Flair Hawk jigs, SpoolTek Swimbaits, and shrimp jigs are all catching the snook pretty good right now.  Also hearing some pretty good tarpon reports around the bridges as well.  

SURF/PIER-  Limited access continues to keep the surf reports to a minimum.  A few scattered reports of pompano, bluefish, and jacks coming in.  Without secluded beach access or a boat it's pretty much a no go these days....On the positive side, when things open up it should be really good! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 20 knots with gusts to around 25 knots. Seas 6 to 8 feet with occasional seas to 10 feet subsiding to 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas to 8 feet. Period 8 seconds.

SATURDAY...South southwest winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to south southwest 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots in the Gulf Stream. Along the coast, gusts up to 20 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers in the morning, then chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...South southwest winds 5 to 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers.

​OFFSHORE-  Overall (no doubt in part to the low pressure) fishing has been very good offshore.  Springtime patterns are really getting rolling.  Late season sailfish action remains very very good over the past week, with more than a few boats releasing double digit numbers.  As usual, live baits under the kite will be the ticket for the sails.  Best depth seems to be roughly 175-225' depending on the day and conditions.  Sail bite has been good up and down the line, but they really seem to be snapping best down to the south.   Good number of nice size blackfin tuna mixed in with the sailfish, along with a good number of dolphin.  The dolphin seem to be in their usual smaller springtime three to five fish packs, with the average size being pretty good overall.  The same live baits intended for sailfish will work well for the dolphin, as will trolling squid, bonita strips, and ballyhoo.  Make sure to keep a little daisy chain in the spread as well...it's killer on the dolphin and the blackfin tuna.  Snapper fishing has been good, with some solid mutton and yellowtail reports coming in.  Sardines remain the bait of choice on the bottom.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains the main game in town these days.  With some big jacks and tarpon hanging around as well.  We are seeing a nice push of springtime mullet pushing through, and that's what all the gamefish are keyed in on right now.  Fairly tough access for the most part these days, so be prepared to get a little creative to find somewhere to fish these days.  At night try big swimbaits and flair hawk jigs around the bridges.  Early morning and late afternoon are great for throwing topwaters right now.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf and pier reports are pretty much non existent still under our current situation.  If you can get the boat along the beach.  Spanish Mackerel have been around, along with a few scattered pompano.  Been some big schools of jacks cruising the beach as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:

SATURDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet along the coast and 3 to 5 feet with occasional to 6 feet in the Gulf Stream. Period 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...Southeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts to around 30 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

OFFSHORE:  Those lucky enough to get out early in the week found very good fishing offshore.  The late season sailfish bite remains very good in 150-250' of water.  Dolphin fishing was fair this week, with a few good size fish coming in the same depth as the sailfish.  Blackfin tuna remain around in good numbers in 150-250' of water.  Trolling a small feather is a solid bet for the blackfin.  Kingfish are scattered up and down the 120' ledge in good numbers.  Bottom fishing remains solid as well, with some good snapper catches reported.

INSHORE- Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  The snook are definitely  getting ready to move to the inlet.  Bridges close to the inlet remain a excellent choice for the snook.  Other inshore reports are a bit slow (NO doubt in part to extremely limited access currently).

SURF/PIER- Well...Can't really write anything here.  Let's just hope when we can get back on the beach and pier the fishing is on fire! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...North northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas to 9 feet. Period 10 seconds. North northeast swell 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SATURDAY...East northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas to 8 feet. North northeast swell 4 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SUNDAY...East winds around 10 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas to 9 feet. North northeast swell 3 to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

OFFSHORE-  Good fishing offshore right now for those that can get out.  Strong late season sailfish bite, with several boats finally getting some double digit days.  A scattering of dolphin around, along with some blackfin tuna in 300-400' of water.  A surprising number of wahoo around the past week, with most coming in 120-150' of water.  A few cobia along the 120' ledge as well.  Snapper fishing reports remain strong.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing continues to get better as the fish begin to move towards the inlet.  Best bet will be to fish the bridges at night, especially on an outgoing tide.  Flairhawk jigs, SpoolTek Swimbaits, and the new savage line thru mullet are all good lure choices for the snook.   Jacks are cruising around the ICW, along with a handful of tarpon.  Best bet will be to fish them at first light or as the sun goes down.

SURF/PIER- WELL...With both the beach and pier CLOSED...I  honestly have nothing to write about here.  Maybe up the coast? 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
