OFFSHORE-  Less than ideal conditions all around this weekend offshore.  Sailfish action remains a bit sporadic, with no big concentrated area of fish just yet.  Best depth for the sailfish remains 150-300' of water.  Live goggle eyes and small blue runners fished under the kite remain the bait/tactic of choice for the sailfish.  Dolphin fishing slowed down this week, but was still a fair number of them around.  Dolphin are hanging in and around the same depth as the sailfish.  Blackfin action has started to slow down, but a few are still being caught.   A handful of wahoo being caught on this side; while Bahamas wahoo action has really started to fire up.  Snapper action remains fair along the bottom with a few cobia in the mix as well.

INSHORE-  Tough week overall on the inshore side of things.  Snook fishing was a bit off, with some fish being caught around the bridges.  Hobe Sound Flats seem to be holding a nice mixture of species  still; including a few trout, redfish, snook, sheepshead, and snapper.  Live shrimp is a hard bait choice to top right now for a good mixture of species.  Other inshore action remains a bit on the tough side.  

SURF/PIER-  Bluefish and jacks continue to make up a bulk of the action along the beach.  Lowlight periods will be best with a decent bite early in the morning and again late in the afternoon.  Spoons and noisy topwater lures continue to produce well.  Spanish Mackerel are filling in nicely at Peck's Lake.  Clark Spoons and Flash Minnow Jigs are the top lure choices for the macs.  Pompano action has been spotty south of Jupiter Inlet, with some scattered catches coming in.  Pompano action has been fair to good along Jupiter Island/Hobe Sound.  The Juno Beach Pier was hot near the end of the week with some bonita, big macs, kingfish, and others being caught; along with a nice showing of wintertime sardines (don't expect that to last too long).  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER-
FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts to around 25 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SATURDAY...East southeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

SUNDAY...Southwest winds 20 to 25 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Good dolphin action over the past week in 150-300' of water.  Live baits have been the most consistent producer for the dolphin.  Still getting good reports of blackfin and skipjack tuna around as well.   Sailfish action has been very good as well this week.  Kingfish remain scattered up and down the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing has been fair, with a few cobia still in the mix as well.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains good at night around the bridges at night, and along seawalls during the day.  The Flair Hawk bite is really starting to get going for the snook.  The Hobe Sound Flats have been very active as of late.  Good numbers of ladyfish, a few pompano, a few seatrout, and others are around now.  Sheepshead and black drum are slowy starting to take up their winter time homes in the ICW.  

SURF/PIER:   Fishing remains very good along the surf with a nice mix of species around.  Bluefish remain the most consistent producer up and down the line.  Noisy popping plugs, GT Ice Cream, Diamond Jigs, and heavy spoons are all good choices for the blues.  Look for the bluefish to bite best in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Pompano action has been fair to good.  Been a very day to day kind of bite, but when you catch it right a limit isn't out of the question.  The spinner sharks and large schools of jacks have been moving around on the beach.  Spanish Mackerel action has started to fire up at Peck's Lake, with a good number of fish starting to fill in.  Clark Spoons and Glass MInnow Jigs are a great choic for the macs.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
​FRIDAY...East southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

​SATURDAY...South southeast winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to south southeast 15 to 20 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers.

SUNDAY...South winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers.

OFFSHORE- So...based on the forecast below; looks like a good weekend to come check out our Black Friday Deals!  Sailfish action should be good for those making it out this weekend.  Look for the sailfish to be most active in 120-300' of water.  Hard to beat live goggle eyes or small blue runners under the kite for solid sailfish action.  Dolphin fishing remains very good as well in basically the same depth.  The same live baits that attract the sailfish will catch the dolphin; as will trolling small ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips.  Kingfish action is good along the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing remains good inside the 120' ledge, with a fair number of cobia around as well.  Sardines on the bottom are hard to beat for the snapper and cobia.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore, especially at night.  Bridges and dockligts are both holding a good number of snook at night.  Look for the snook to be switching over to more of a shrimp based diet.  The usual inshore wintertime species (Black drum, sheepshead, and maybe a few redfish) are starting to fill in under boat docks and bridges in the ICW and Loxahatchee River.  A few spotted seatrout starting to show up on the Hobe Sound Flats and around Munyan Island.  

SURF/PIER-  Bluefish action remains very good up and down the beach.  Poppers, diamond jigs, and fresh cut bait are all solid bait choices for the bluefish.  While you can catch the blues throughout the day, best action will be lowlight periods of the day.  Spanish Mackerel(Including some very big ones) are also around and biting.  Pompano action has been fair, with some good numbers and good size fish coming for those finding the right lucky spot.  Sandfleas and clams will be the bait of choice for the pompano.  Blacktip sharks are around in good numbers as well.  Lots of good action on the beach right now!

SHOP UPDATE-  Hard to believe next week is Thanksgiving already! We have been hard at work getting ready for Black Friday and the kickoff of our "Ugly Christmas Sweater Fishing Tournament/Photo Contest".  Lots of good stuff coming down the line for both: Look for a lot more information to hit next week Wed/Thur.  Shop will be closed next Thursday.  Black Friday Hours will be 6am-6pm (Sorry...No 2am Doorbuster sales here....), followed by informal fun Captain's Meeting for the Ugly Sweater Tournament. 

OFFSHORE-  This week has seen a wide range of weather conditions; and with it a wide range of fishing reports.  Sailfish action had slowed back down with less than ideal conditions; but expect the passing front to get them surfing back down the waves this weekend.  Live goggle eyes under the kite and sardines or threadfins on the flatlines will no doubt be a solid choice for the sailfish.  Look for the sailfish to be in 120-250' of water,  with the stretch from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet being as good of place as any to put them out and try.  Dolphin reports remain very strong in 200-450' of water from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet.  Trolling Ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips have all been good bait choices for the dolphin.  Blackfin Tuna continue to bite well in 150-250' of water from the Breakers to Palm Beach Inlet.  Cobia reports continue to improve along the 120' ledge; and snapper reports are holding fairly consistent as well.  Sardines will be a great bait choice for both.  

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing remains a bit tough; as we are out of summer time patterns, but not yet into the true winter swing of things.  Snook fishing has remained good, but it's a time investment for sure right now.  It's swinging into true flair hawk/jig season for the snook, and the tide has to be right for them.  If it's not the tide window they like...they just aren't going to want to bite.  The tricky part comes in figuring out which tide it is that they will bite on.  Could be incoming (first or last) or outgoing...and it varies by spot; hence the time investment!  Gotta keep going and keep casting to figure it out.  The flats around Hobe Sound (Mile Marker 40) continue to produce a nice mix of species, and remain one of your better bets around on the inshore side of things.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf action remains very good, with the usual fall/winter species hanging around in good numbers.  Bluefish, jacks, and ladyfish will provide the most action; especially during lowlight periods of the day.  Doesn't seem to have been any really true "hotspots" lately along the beach; instead its been more a luck of the draw on finding them.  Before lugging everything down to the beach take a look from the boardwalk for birds diving, baitfish, deeper troughs, and other fishy looking signs...it'll help cut down on a lot of unproductive water.  Pompano action has been fair; but they have not been around in the same numbers that a few weeks ago saw.  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce some very nice sized Spanish Mackerel (especially early in the morning), with swimming plugs and the bobber rig continuing to be top producers.  The blacktips and spinner sharks are starting to show with a little more regularity; and have been fairly willing to crush a loud topwater plug or fresh chunk of bait.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...North winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet along the coast and 5 to 7 feet with occasional to 9 feet in the Gulf Stream. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...East northeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

OFFSHORE-  Fishing remained very good offshore for those making it out.  Dolphin and Blackfin Tuna are around in good numbers in 200-300' of water.   Trolling small feathers is the ticket for the Blackfin, while ballyhoo and squid are a great choice for the dolphin.  Expect the sailfish to bite very well this weekend in 120-200' of water.  As usual look for well defined color changes, current rips, and large areas of bait for the biggest number of sails (and the tuna and dolphin as well).  KIngfish are scattered up and down the 120' ledge in decent numbers.  Snapper fishing also remains very good; with sardines being the bait of choice.  

INSHORE-  A bit slower inshore this week, but still a good number of snook catches coming in.  Look for the bridges to produce well at night, especially on outgoing tide.  With the mullet thinning out inshore; it's time to start concentrating on the jig bite again.  Seawalls and boat docks will also be a good choice for the snook.  The Hobe Sound flats continue to produce a nice mixed bag assortment of species, especially early in the morning and then again later in the afternoon.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains very good over the past week.  Bluefish, jacks, ladyfish, and some big Spanish Mackerel have been scattered up and down the beach in good numbers.  Low light periods are best for the most action; especially for those hoping to use lures.  Large topwater poppers, longcast swimming plugs, and diamond jigs/spoons have been the best lure choices.  Still some pods of mullet along the beach with tarpon and blacktip sharks hanging around them.  The snook have largely peeled off the beach, but you may still find a few around the lingering mullet schools.  Pompano bite remains very good for those putting the time in.  Still a fair amount of smaller pomps around, but it does sound like the number of keepers being caught is improving.  Sandfleas, clams, and Fishbites will be the top producers bait wise for sure.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SATURDAY...North northeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers.

SUNDAY...East northeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish snapped off good last weekend; and that could very likely happen again this weekend.  The sailfish were in 150-250' last week, and a few boats managed to put up double digit release numbers.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners are a solid bait choice for the sailfish; but don't pass on taking some mullet offshore as well.  Mixed in with the sails were a good number of dolphin, including some good sized gaffers.  Small blackfin tuna are still hanging out in 200-300' of water in good numbers; with small trolling feathers being the ticket for them.  Snapper fishing remains very good in 80-100' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  Mixed in with the snapper have been a good number of cobia as well.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains very good inshore, though last weeks front did slow them down a bit.  Look for the snook to bite good at night around the bridges on outgoing tide.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up under boat docks.  Areas with dark mud bottoms are especially popular with snook right now.  The jacks are still roaming the ICW in fair numbers, along with a few resident tarpon.  The Hobe Sound flats continue to produce a nice mixed bag of species; and each front should help improve the action.

SURF/PIER-  Surf action remains good this week, with a pretty good assortment of fish around.  Bluefish and smaller jacks have been up and down the beach in very good numbers.  Noisy topwater plugs, heavuy silver spoons, and diamond jigs have all been working very well for the bluefish and jacks.  Lowlight periods of the day will be tops for all around action.  The Juno Beach Pier has had solid action on some very large mackerel this week.  The bobber rig with a clark spoon or a Rapala X-Rap have been doing a nice job on the Macs.  Pompano action remains good as well, just takes some time to find the keepers with a lot of smaller fish mixed in.  The Blacktip sharks are starting to show up in fair numbers, providing a lot of good light tackle fun for those willing to track them down.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER-
FRIDAY...South winds around 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SATURDAY...West northwest winds 5 to 10 knots becoming north northeast 10 to 15 knots in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 10 seconds becoming 4 seconds in the afternoon. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms, mainly in the morning. .

SUNDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  The full moon has produced a fair little wahoo bite on our side (and a really good bite for em on the Bahamas side).  200-400' seems to be about the best depth for the wahoo.  Blackfin tuna are biting very good in about the same depth.  Trolling small feathers and small daisy chains seem to be the ticket for the little tunas.  Lowlight periods will be best for the tuna.  The wahoo are in eating the little tuna, so don't be afraid to troll for both at the same time.  Sailfish action continues to improve, and conditions look right for them to bite again this weekend.  Live goggle eyes and small blue runners will be the ticket for the best sailfish bite.  Snapper fishing has been very good as well this week.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains very good inshore, especially around the lingering schools of mullet.  Look for the snook to be most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and at night.  A few tarpon and a good number of nice sized jacks around.  Hard to beat a big jack crashing a topwater lure along an intracoastal seawall.  The flats around Hobe Sound and Munyan Island are coming to life nicely with a small drop in air/water temps.  Reports of a handful of trout and small redfish are showing up, along with the usual inshore species.  

SURF/PIER-  Great surf fishing along the beach this week, with solid action early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Bluefish, jacks, and Spanish Mackerel are making up a bulk of the action.  As mentioned low-light periods of the day will be best for the most action.  Topwater poppers, Yo-Zuri Longcast Minnows, and heavy silver spoons have all been working very well for the jacks and bluefish.  The bobber rig and smaller Rapala X-Raps have been working well for the Spanish Mackerel.  Blacktip sharks are starting to show in better numbers as well with so many fish around.  Pompano action has been very very good this week.  Only problem with the pompano action has been most of the fish are undersized.   Pompano are biting Doc's Goofy jigs very well at the Juno Beach Pier; while sandfleas and clams are working well along the beach.  Mullet schools are still around, but starting to thin out a bit.  Those remaining schools still have some tarpon hanging around, and maybe a snook or two.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER-
FRIDAY...South southwest winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of thunderstorms in the morning. A chance of showers. A slight chance of thunderstorms.

SATURDAY...West northwest winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to west 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

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

OFFSHORE-  Bumpy conditions offshore have kept reports slim this week.  Those braving the conditions found a fairly good bite on the dolphin and small blackfin tuna in 150-350' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  Sailfish reports are improving as well; and some north wind/mild front in the forecast could get a few more early season fish snapping.  Look for the sailfish to be in roughly the same 150-300' of water range depending on conditions.  As always, look for well defined rips, color changes, and large areas of bait(flying fish predominately) for best results.  Snapper fishing has been very good as well this week, with some excellent mutton snapper reports coming in early in the week.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now. At night the snook have been biting around the bridges. especially on outgoing tides.  Flair Hawk Jigs, bigger swimbaits, Rapala X-Raps, and Yo-Zuri Mag Darters have all been solid lure choices for the snook right  now.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up under boat docks and around seawalls that offer good spots to ambush mullet from.  In addtition to the snook a good number of tarpon and big jacks are around taking advantage of the mullet still hanging around.  Even a redfish or two in the mix as well.  Yo-Zuri mag darters and Hydro Pencils have been solid lure choices for pretty much everything inshore right now.  

SURF/PIER-  Fishing remains very good at the Juno Beach Pier, Jupiter Inlet, and along the beach right now.  Good numbers of jacks, bluefish, ladyfish, and Spanish Mackerel around for those looking for good fun action.  Still some pods of mullet coming through and the tarpon and snook are still hanging right with them.  The Juno Beach Pier had an unreal bite on mangrove snapper this weeek, with live shrimp catching them very well.  The blacktip sharks are starting to show in little bigger numbers as well.  Good pompano action for this time of year as well.

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to east 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Along the coast, seas 2 to 3 feet. In the Gulf Stream, seas 2 to 3 feet building to 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SATURDAY...East winds 5 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 smooth. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...North northeast winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to north northeast 15 to 20 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Rough weather early in the week has kept reports to a minimum; those however making it out are finding the dolphin fishing to be very good in 120-400' of water.  That should continue through the weekend, and more favorable boating conditions could lead to some very very good dolphin catches.   Blackfin tuna bite has also been very good in about the same depths.  Trolling small tuna feathers and small daisy chains (Tormenter makes some really good ones) is your best bet for the tuna right now.  Overall the size is on the smaller side; but the occasional bigger fish in the 8-12lb range will show up in the mix to keep things interesting.  Sailfish action, again in roughly the same depth is starting to pick up as well.  Still a good cold front or two from seeing big numbers; but don't be surprised if somebody strings together five or six releases over the weekend.  Live goggle eyes, smaller silver mullet, and small blue runners are all great bait choices right now.  Inside of the 120' ledge snapper fishing has been very good over the past week or two.  Some nice mutton catches being reported; as well as solid flag yellowtails around.  Sardines remain the bait of choice on the bottom.  Definitely worth a trip offshore this weekend if you have the chance to go!

INSHORE-  Its a bit later than some years, but the mullet are really around in good numbers inshore right now from Jupiter to Palm Beach.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, ladyfish, and even a few redfish are around in good numbers as well following the easy meal train.  Best action around the mullet schools typically is going to happen at sunrise, sunset, and under the moon.  Fish live mullets or loud noisy lures around the edges of the schools for best luck.  Also, don't be afraid to try moving away from the schools and fishing ambush spots and other good looking structure.  A lot of times (especially for the bigger snook) the fish will post up around ambush spots and simply wait for the mullet to come to them.  Snook fishing also remains very good at night around the bridges (Jupiter especially).  Flair Hawks, SpoolTek Swimbaits, and the 9" "Juno Baits" Straight tail are all getting good bites right now.  Tide is not as important now, just fish on moving water for best results.  

SURF/PIER-  Lots of action in the surf, Juno Beach Pier, and Jupiter Inlet right now.  So much going on, it's hard to get it all in my normal length report (In other words...just go now!!!)  Just going to try and run through quickly a little bit of everything going on.  The Juno Beach Pier has been very hot lately; with lots of bluefish, spanish mackerel, jacks, and runners around.  The Bobber Rig or a Rapala X-Rap are hard to beat right now at the Pier for solid all around action.  In addition to the species listed above; a fair number of snook and a few kingfish are around the pier.  Swimbaits and Flair Hawks closer to the beach for the snook, and large swimming plugs out near the end for the kingfish and bonita.  I know I forgot a bunch of stuff from the pier..(Yeah it's been that good!).  The surf has been producing a decent number of pompano, jacks, blue runners, and even a few redfish (Always a nice bonus to have a redfish eat a sandflea on a pompano rig!).  Throwing a plug, bobber rig,  or spoon at the beach early or late in the day will no doubt produce some of the same species as the pier.  The Jupiter Inlet is also producing a lot of fish right now.  Early morning seems to be best for all around action.  Lots of snook, tarpon, jacks, blue runners, and others around willing to eat a Yo-Zuri Mag Darter or Rapala X-Rap right now.  Just really good fishing overall right now...and regular readers of the report know it takes a lot for us to say that!  

NOAA Marine Weather:
FRIDAY...West winds 5 to 10 knots becoming south. Seas around 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. .

SATURDAY...Northwest winds around 5 knots becoming east northeast in the afternoon. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to east 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.
