OFFSHORE-  Looks like we could see a very early season sailfish bite pop off this weekend.  Conditions look right for them to come up and pop some kite baits off the surface for sure.  Dolphin fishing slowed a bit this week, but still a fair number of them around.  Best bet for the dolphin had been out very deep, but that could change over the weekend.  Wahoo fishing was fair this week on the full moon.  No huge numbers to speak of, but a decent little handful were caught this week.  120-200' seemed to be the best depth for the wahoo.  Scattering of kingfish along the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing has been fair on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Good snook action inshore this week.  The finger mullet are starting to fill in inshore and the snook are taking full advantage!  Tarpon, jacks, and monster ladyfish are also taking advantage of the massive ongoing buffet line.  The finger mullet will tend to be most active very early in the morning or at night.  They will move with the tide so use that to your advantage! The snook are also biting dry well around the bridges at night; and at the spillways when they are running.  Swimbaits and Flair Hawk jigs remain your best bet for the snook.  Sure sign summer is slipping away...the toadies have been biting. Still a fair number of mangrove snapper around inshore these days.  

SURF/PIER-  Great action along the beach this week.  The mullet run is in full swing, and the snook and tarpon are around in great numbers with them!  As are the sharks, jacks, and a host of others.  A little north wind this week should further help get the mullet up to the north of us still headed this way.  A live mullet fished on the edge of the school or down under the school is a great way to separate your bait and get bites.  Also, don't overlook a fresh dead mullet on the outside edges of the school.  That can be an easy meal a big tarpon or snook just can't pass up.  If your into lures more than bait try fishing a Yo-Zuri Mag Darter or Rapala X-Rap.  Early morning and late afternoon should bring the most action.  A few pompano reports are starting to trickle in.  It's a little early for them, but don't be surprised to start hearing more and more about the pomps over the next few weeks.  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce a good snook bite, along with a nice number of Spanish Mackerel.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...North northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers likely in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Showers.

SATURDAY...Northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers likely in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Chance of showers.

SUNDAY...Northeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Another really nice looking forecast for the weekend!  Time to take advantage of these conditions...fall/winter conditions are just around the corner.  Dolphin fishing was good agin this week; with best reports continuing to come from out in the deep.  800-1200' of water seems to be a pretty good bet to look for the dolphin.  Bonita strips, squid, and small trolling feathers have been a great choice for covering water and locating the dolphin.  The moon is getting bigger this week (Full on Monday), so we would expect to start hearing some good wahoo reports.  A few have been caught this week in 150-300' of water.  Kingfish action remains pretty good along the 120' ledge.  Solid snapper bite again this week.  Some really nice muttons coming in again this week!  Sardines and bonita chunks will be top bait choices on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Good inshore fishing this week.  The finger mullet are showing up inshore, and the fish are close behind.  Snook fishing has been really good this week, and should only continue to improve.  Lots of snook in all the usual spots (Bridges, spillways, inlets, you name it...) so get out after them and fish to your strengths.  Jacks and tarpon are also around in good numbers with the finger mullet.  The finger mullet tend to be most active at night or during lowlight periods of the day.  When the sun is up and the boat traffic is heavy they tend to push down deeper.  Beat this problem by looking for canals and spots not on the beaten path (yes...it's getting harder and harder to find them I know!) 

SURF/PIER-  The mullet run has kicked off, and the fishing has really fired up this week.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, and a host of others are all taking advantage of the nearly endless food supply.  Look for the mullet to move and be most active first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.  Fish live mullet on the edge of the school or weighted below for best luck.  The Juno Beach Pier was good again this week; with a scattering of both Spanish and King Mackerel around.  Starting to hear a few pompano reports a little up to the north...won't be long now on them!!!

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...South winds around 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East winds around 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Intracoastal waters smooth. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...East northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Dolphin fishing improved this week; with some nice catches coming in 600-800' of water.  Trolling bonita strips and squid in productive looking areas produced a good number of fish, including a handful big enough to need a gaff for.  Running and gunning for debris and large weediness has also been a productive strategy this week.  Set up on good areas with some chum and live sardines and the dolphin shouldn't be far behind.  If they do show up; be sure to have a jig ready to send down a couple hundred feet to look for a lurking wahoo.  Speaking of wahoo, a fair number were caught along the 120' ledge last week.  Bonita strips and split tail mullet trolled down deep remains the best bet for the wahoo as of late.  Fair scattering of kingfish around, along with a few fall football size Blackfin tuna showing up.  Snapper fishing has been very good this week.  Best depth has bounced around a bit; but 90' from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet remains a good place to start.  Sardines and bonita chunks remain the best bet on the bottom.  A handful of really nice muttons around this week...just reel fast to get em past the sharks!!!

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  No real mullet schools to speak of yet, but the snook are lining up in all the usual spots like it is coming fairly soon!  The bridge bite continues to go off at night, especially on outgoing tide.  Flair Hawk jigs have been producing well, as have swimbaits (like NLBN or 6" SpoolTek Fatty).  During the day best bet for the snook has been fishing live mullet along seawalls and under boat docks.  First thing in the morning or just before the sun goes down a walk the dog topwater style lure (Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil or Top Knock) will also get some attention.  A few jacks mixed in with the snook, along with a tarpon or two.  Mangrove snapper bite remains pretty good inshore as well. 

SURF/PIER:  The Juno Beach Pier has been pretty good this week.  Snook fishing has been hot early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Free-lining pilchards, cigar minnows, and dork jacks has been producing a few slots pretty much every day.  Later in the day try fishing dead baits under the pier for good luck with the snook (It's important to remember snook, especially the big ones, are lazy and always looking for an easy meal to scoop off the bottom!) Spanish Mackerel have been in and out at the pier on a regular basis.  A small freeline live bait is good for them; as is a Clark Spoon on a bobber rig.  A handful of Kingfish have been taken off the end of the Pier this week on large swimming plugs (Size 14 Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Longcast minnow are great options).  No great mullet run reports in our immediate area; but it does sound like a few good schools are starting to show up to the north of us.  Reports from Ft Pierce and Jensen Beach make it sound like it is starting to happen.  A little north swell this weekend could definitely get them pushed in this direction! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...West northwest winds 5 to 10 knots becoming south southeast in the afternoon. Seas around 2 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...East northeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  A fair scattering of dolphin popped back up this week.  Best depth for them bounced around a bit; but 400-600' seemed to hold a pretty decent number of them for the most part.  Trolling bonita strips and squid remains a solid way to target the dolphin.  Pink skirts seem to really be the ticket for the most bites from the dolphin this week.  Mixed in with the dolphin have been a handful of Blackfin Tuna.  Keep a small trolling feather I the mix for the little tunas.  Wahoo fishing popped off this week ahead of the new moon.  Trolling planers with a big bonita strip or mullet seemed to be the best bet for the wahoo this week.  A Nomad DTX minnow was also getting bites from the wahoo this week.  Snapper fishing was good this week on the bottom.  Some very good mutton reports coming in.  Sardines (just the old stinky dead frozen variety) remain the top choice on the bottom for the snapper.  90-120' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet has been a good area to look for the snapper.  

INSHORE-  Snook season is back open and it's prime time to invite one home for dinner (or release em to fight another day like I often do!). Snook fishing remains good inshore, with the best action coming primarily at night.  Area bridges have been very good at night, especially on the outgoing tide.  Flair Hawk style jigs and No Live Bait Needed Swimbaits have been great choices for targeting slot size snook.  As a few trickles of finger mullet start to show the snook will begin to really key in on them.  Mangrove snapper action remains fair inshore as well.  Live shrimp and small live pilchards will be the best bait choice for the snapper.

SURF/PIER-  Snook fishing will unsurprisingly gain the most attention along the beach and at the pier this weekend.  Overall, snook fishing has been very strong.  Jupiter Inlet has still been holding a fair number of fish.  The Juno Beach Pier has also had a good number of slot size fish around.  Best bite for both the Pier and Jupiter Inlet has been first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.   The surf has been producing a fair number of snook as well.  Small white jigs, small soft plastic paddle tails, and smaller swimming plugs remain great bait choices along the beach.   The Juno Beach Pier has also been producing quite a few bonita.  A longer distance casting lure (Diamond jig or GT Ice Cream) has been the ticket for the bonita.  The mangrove snapper bite remains very good at the pier as well.  Best bet for the snapper is to target them very first thing in the morning.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southwest winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Showers likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...West southwest winds 5 to 10 knots becoming south southwest in the afternoon. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...South winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE-  Slow week on the offshore side of things report wise.  A few dolphin around, primarily out deep still for the most part.  Look for the 1000' range to be a good zone to find the dolphin.  Most of the dolphin remain on the small side, with a gaffer or two in the mix to keep things interesting.  A wahoo or two around on the backside of the moon, but no big numbers to speak of.  Kingfish action has been fair along the 120' ledge.  Drifting sardines on a knocker rig is almost a sure bet for the kings.  A handful of snapper reports, but not great overall for the first part of the week.  Here's hoping for a little improvement this weekend.  

INSHORE-  The mullet run hasn't started started yet inshore; but the fish are starting act like it has.  Snook and big jacks have been biting good in the Loxahatchee River and north in the ICW this week.  Live mullet fished along a seawall is a great way to target them, especially when the sun gets up a bit.  During lowlight periods the topwater bite has been pretty hot.  The Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil just continues to get bites day after day!  A few little tarpon in the inshore mix as well.  The Spillways have had a pretty good snook bite when open.  Still a good number of mangrove snapper around inshore. 

SURF/PIER-  The inlet snook bite remains very strong, both in Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlet.  The Juno Beach Pier saw some pretty good action this week, with a nice mixture of species around.  Catch and release snook fishing remains strong.  Mangrove snapper are biting good first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.  Spanish Mackerel and blue runners are also around the pier in very good numbers.  Expect to start seeing some mullet almost any day now...they can't be far! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Showers in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Showers likely.

SATURDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers likely and chance of thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...East southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers likely and chance of thunderstorms.

Offshore:  A little slow on offshore reports this week (Not uncommon for that to happen this time of year!).  The big hope this week is for a good wahoo bite with the coming full moon.  Have started to hear some reports of a few being caught; so things are looking good so far!  Trolling Nomad DTX minnows or a planer with a bonita strip have been producing just about the best for the wahoo.  Look for 150-250' to be the best depth range to try and find a striped one.  As usual with the wahoo early and late in the day will be the best; with tide changes being the second biggest factor in the equation.  Dolphin reports slowed way down this week, but that was largely in part to less people taking the run out to look for them.  Kingfish showed back up along the 120' ledge in pretty decent numbers this week.  Drifting dead sardines on a knocker rig in 100-150' of water has been a pretty safe bet for the kingfish as of late.  Bottom fishing reports seemed pretty mixed this week.  

Inshore:  Not much changes on the inshore side of things this time of year.  Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now.  Snook have been biting at the Spillways when open, in the inlets on the tides, and at the bridges at night.  Lots of different ways to go out and target them right now.  Mangrove snapper action also remains pretty fair inshore at the moment.  Best bet has been at night around the bridges with live shrimp or small live baits for the mangroves.  Still a bit early to see the finger mullet inshore...but it won't be long!  Get ready it's about to be on!!!
​

Surf/Pier:  Snook fishing remains the best bet along the beach these days.  The summer spawning cycle is slowly starting to wrap up; and the first signs of mullet will further help pull the snook out of the inlets and onto the beach.  While the snook feed all summer; the first mullet schools really ignite a bite that is just absolutely insane.  Swimming plugs (Rapala X-Rap, Yo-Zuri Mag Darter, and a host of others) are a great choice to throw for the snook early and late n the day.  When the sun is up and the water is clear stick to a smaller white jig or small soft plastic swimbait.  Until the mullet show up, a croaker is a hard bait to beat for the snook.  Jacks and a few tarpon have been spotted in the surf this week; but not in great numbers (Better numbers of them up the coast a bit).  Mangrove snapper continue to bite well at the Juno Beach Pier.  Live shrimp or small live pilchards remain top baits for there snapper.  A decent number of Spanish Mackerel around the pier as well over the past week.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 10 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

​SUNDAY...Southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Slower week offshore this week overall.  Still some dolphin around; but not quite the numbers we saw over the past few weeks.  Best bet on finding the dolphin remains out deep (1000-1200' for the most part); but east winds win the forecast should help push them in closer.  Trolling bonita strips and squid has been the best bet for the dolphin.  Scattering of small wahoo around this week when you find the dolphin; so have a jig ready to shoot down deep for a lurking wahoo.  Lots of life in along the 120' ledge; with a huge amount of bonita, sharks, blue runners, and a host of others around.  Snapper fishing was a bit slow this week; but still a fair number around.  The weather this weekend could possibly get the snapper fired up and biting good.  Look for sardines and bonita chunks to be the top producing baits on the bottom. 

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains good inshore; and conditions look really good for a strong bite this weekend.  Wind and overcast weather may not be the most fun to fish in; but it really tends to get the inshore bite fired up.  Look for snook to be keyed in on mullet along seawalls and under boat docks.  At night the snook are hanging on bridge shadowlines, more than ready to smash a First Light Snook Jig or NLBN swimbait swam with the current.  Mangrove snapper bite has been good inshore.  Depending on which direction Fred heads...we could see a really good snapper bite around the inlets as well.

SURF/PIER:  Catch and release snook fishing was good agin this week.  A good number of snook coming from the beach, at the pier, and in Jupiter Inlet.  Weather will shake that up a little this weekend, but will definitely still be some good chances to get after the snook.  Conditions look like they will get right to trigger a Flare Hawk and swimbait bite along the beach and at the pier.  Lowlight periods will be best, and that includes cloudy overcast days if we get that this weekend.  Live croakers and sand perch will be top live baits for the big snook; and it is possible we could start to see a few mullet schools roll through already.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a lot of blue runners and Spanish Mackerel for those looking to keep the rods bent.  Sandperch and croaker have been around in scattered numbers as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Showers. Thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds 20 to 25 knots with gusts to around 30 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas to 8 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters rough in exposed areas. Showers with thunderstorms likely.

SUNDAY...South southeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts to around 25 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. Chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Showers likely. Thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE:  Fishing was a bit slower offshore this week.  Dolphin fishing remains good out deep (800-1200' of water).  Most of the fish have been on the small side; but still a few around that need a little gaff assistance to come aboard.  Lots of life along the 120' ledge right now.  It will be primarily bonito, big blue runners, and sharks; but definitely other stuff in the mix as well.  A wahoo, cobia, sailfish could just as easily join the party as well.  Scattering of kingfish around as well.  Snapper fishing remained good this week along the bottom.  Sardines remain the top bait choice.

INSHORE:  The snook fishing has been good this week inshore; especially around the spillways.  When the spillways are open a DOA Terror Eye is a killer lure to get snook bites.  All catch and release on the snook right now so be careful with them and make sure they swim off strong.  Mangrove snapper action remains good inshore this week.  A scattering of jacks and tarpon are mixed in the Loxahatchee with the snook.  

SURF/PIER:  Catch and release snook fishing remains the main game in town these days; with the fishing being very good over the past week.  The snook will be the most active during the early morning hours, late in the afternoon, and on peak parts of the tide changes.  Good number of snook around the Juno Beach Pier, Jupiter Inlet, and up and down the beach right now.  Lots of good opportunities  to get out and catch one right now.  Scattering of Spanish Mackerel around the Juno Beach Pier waiting to bite crappie jigs and small live baits.  The Juno Beach Pier has also been holding a nice number of Mangrove Snapper; especially early in the morning.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing remains good offshore these days.  The best depth for the dolphin seems to be in about 900-100' of water.  The depth has bounced around a bit depending on conditions (all the usual factors like current rips, weedlines, etc), but 1000' overall seems to be a fairly safe starting point.  Overall a lot of the fish are on the smaller side, so keep the baits a bit smaller.  Bonita strips and skirted trolling squid have been great choices for the dolphin.  Most of the fish seem to be in smaller packs; and not so much big schools.  Keep a casting rod ready to throw at followers; but don't be surprised to catch a double or triple on the troll and not see anymore around.  The key has been to cover water and keep looking!  Still a good summertime sailfish bite going on in 300-500' of water a lot of days; but conditions don't look quite right to really see numbers of them around this weekend.  The wahoo bite never really turned on with the full moon last weekend; but still should be some around.  Definitely worth pulling some big strips or a DTX minnow down deep to try and nab one.  In along the 120' ledge the ocean is alive with action.  It will be primarily bonito, sharks, and big blue runners around: But all that life draws other life; so kings, dolphin, wahoo, and others could all be in the same areas.  Snapper fishing was a bit slower this week (not uncommon around lobster mini season); but conditions look good to give them a try this weekend.  Sardines will be the bait of choice on the bottom.  Don't be surprised to see a Cobia or two around...handful of them were caught this week! 

INSHORE-  Summertime heat has inshore fishing pretty slow currently, and conditions don't look to change much for the weekend.  Snook fishing will be the best bet inshore.  Look fort the snook to be most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and at night.  Live mullet along a seawall is your best bet for the snook during the day.  At night a flair hawk around the bridges is a good choice, especially on an outgoing tide.  Mangrove snapper action remains fair inshore; especially at night.  

SURF/PIER-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the main game in town right now.  The Juno Beach Pier snook bite has been very good; especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Live sand perch and croaker are your best bait choices for there big snook; but they can also be caught on pilchards and sardines as well.  If you're into throwing lures try small white jigs and soft plastic paddle tails or small swimming plugs for best luck with the snook.  Look for the snook to be in super close for the most part.  At night a flair hawk or SpoolTek will be a solid choice; but those baits are lust a little large for calm water daylight conditions.  The Juno Beach Pier has been holding a few summertime Spanish Mackerel; but not in huge numbers.  Lots of blue runners around the pier to keep the rods bent.  Still a few permit being spotted cruising the end of the pier.   Good mangrove snapper action early in the morning at the pier.  Live shrimp and small live pilchards are great bait choices for the snapper.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...South winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Dolphin fishing slowed a bit this week, but still a pretty fair number of them around a little farther offshore.  800-1000' of water seems to be the best depth to have pretty consistent chance at the dolphin.  While a majority of the dolphin have been on the smaller side; a few good gaffers remain in the mix.  Trolling bonita strips and squid is a safe bet for the dolphin.  Small jethead trolling lures are also a good bet for the dolphin: especially some with a little weight that can be trolled quick and really let you cover some water.   With the full moon this week the main emphasis no doubt will be on wahoo.  Weather conditions look great for the wahoo; hopefully the seaweed won't be too bad and allows for some good trolling presentations.  High speed trolling has fallen off somewhat in popularity for the wahoo, but is still a productive way to go.  The new favorite has become trolling Nomad DTX Minnows for it's simple appeal; and awesome results!  Also very effective for catching wahoo will be pulling a big bonita strip (We have some beautiful ones in stock!) or split tail mullet behind a planer.  Best depth for the wahoo will be 120-250' early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  When the sun is up high, lok for the wahoo to slide out a little deeper.  Kingfish action was not great this week; but a few are no doubt hanging along the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing was good this week.  Some nice mutton and yellowtails around; along with a cobia or two.  Sardines, as usual, remain the top bait choice.

INSHORE:  Catch and release snook fishing remains good inshore right now.  Some solid snook reports coming out of the Loxahatchee River over the past week.  Best bet during the day is fishing mullet along seawalls and under boat docks.  Use the current to your advantage; and let it sweep the baits to hungry (but very lazy!) snook. The snook bite around the bridges has remained good as well; with some solid fishing coming in on a flair hawk or big swimbait.  A few good jacks around, as well as the occasional tarpon.  A few good mangrove snapper reports this week; with some good size ones around.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp are top bait choices for the snapper.  

SURF/PIER:  Seaweed continues to be a bit of a problem along the beach; so it's important to try and find a clearer area if you can for best luck.  Catch and release snook fishing has been good along the beach, especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Small white paddle tails and swimming plugs (the new Yo-Zuri 3D Fingerling!) have been top producers for the snook.  If your into super light tackle it's hard to beat a 1/8oz white crappie jig for the snook.  The Juno Beach Pier and Jupiter Inlet both also continue to produce a super solid catch and release snook bite.  The Juno Beach Pier has been seeing a good number of permit around.  Definitely enough permit around to warrant slinging a crab out!  The bonita have been showing at the pier in good number as well.  Scattered Spanish Mackerel around.  Both the pier and Jupiter Inlet have had some mangrove snapper around.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...South winds 5 to 10 knots. In the Gulf Stream, gusts up to 20 knots in the evening. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...South southwest winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 2 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers and chance of thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...South southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers and chance of thunderstorms.
