OFFSHORE-  Offshore reports this week were largely based around wahoo again.  Though it wasn't the numbers of fish caught last week ahead of the full moon; the backside of the moon still saw a pretty fair numbers of wahoo coming over the gunnels.  Pulling the planer with a sea-witch/bonita strip combo remains a very effective way to go.  We have some beautiful ready to go rigged strips in-stock from Sea-Spook Baits that make it very easy!  Also in-stock is the Belly Dancer Pre-Rigged Strip/Witch combo that works very well behind the planer.  Pulling a Nomad DTX is also a simple easy way to target the wahoo.  Live baits (check the pic below of a nice one caught last weekend on a live sardine) will also work well for the wahoo, it just becomes a matter of drift depth and getting the baits past the bonita.  Speaking of bonita, they have started to thin out a bit along the 120' ledge, a sign we are ever so slowly moving into late summer/early fall patterns.  Dolphin reports were slim this week, with just a few random fish seeming to pop up.  Sailfish bite seems to be fair.  No big numbers like a few weeks ago, but those targeting them do seem to be seeing at least a fish or two a trip.  No bottom fishing reports to speak of this week.  Not sure if it just hasn't been good or nobody has been.    


INSHORE-  Inshore fishing has been a bit slow this week.  The water has been a bit funky inshore, and hopefully that will flush itself out soon.  Snook season has opened on the slower side, with most reports coming in that it is a grind!  The bridges have had a few fish at night, but overall they have been rather uncooperative.  The Loxahatchee River has been producing a few fish early in the morning and on the tide changes.  Love mullet is. a good way to go for the snook in the river right now.  Speaking of mullet (and mentioned in the surf section as well), no big schools moving through yet.  A few small scattered schools seem to be filtering in; but from the looks of things we are still a week or two away from seeing any big numbers.  Of course that could change at any point, and we always try and update the report if they show up on us unexpected.  A few mangrove snapper around still for those grinding it out on the bridges at night.  Live shrimp and pilchards remain top bait choices for the snapper.      

SURF/PIER-  The water along the beach has been a funky green color (and from the looks of it likely on the cold side) the past few days leading to overall tough fishing.  On the positive side the seaweed, for the most part, has not been as bad this week.  While a few small pods of mullet have been spotted, the mass of fish are still well to the north of us.  South winds and calm seas are likely not going to rush in any big numbers of mullet  this weekend if I had to guess...though you never know!  Guessing when the mullet show up is always a challenge, but as it stands now it seems that we are likely a week or two away.   The Juno Beach Pier has also been a bit slower this week.  The live bait (Mostly small pilchards, scattered small thread fins, and a scattering of small goggle eyes and dork jacks) has still been around the pier, with blue runners and scattered mackerel making up a bulk of the action.  The snook have been around, but the bite overall has been tough.  Best bite on the snook is first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.

Ryan Miller (IG @ryanmitchellmiller) sent us this great pic of Hawkin and Miks with beautiful wahoo caught last Sunday on the deep side of the ledge.  Drifting a live sardine on triple hooks and 30lb fluoro was just the ticket to get this one in the boat!  

OFFSHORE-  The wahoo bite has been excellent this week, and conditions look good for that to continue headed into the weekend.  The full moon is Friday, the seaweed has not been bad, and the wind is light...should be a lot of wahoo coming over the gunnels this weekend.  While pulling the planer with a sea-witch and bonita strip has been the top producer; plenty of wahoo are being caught on swimming plugs (Nomad DTX or Rapala X-Rap), high speed lures, and live baits as well.  Early and late in the day look for the wahoo to be around the 120' ledge.  As the sun gets up higher they will tend to slide out a little deeper (250-350').  Dolphin fishing remained fair this week, with fish scattered from 350-1000' of water.  Not a huge number of dolphin around, but a handful big enough to need a gaff for sure.   A few really nice Blackfin Tuna have been around in 200-300' of water as well.  No pattern to the tuna to speak of; with most of them being a bonus bycatch.  The sailfish bite slowed down this week, with a few still popping up.  Bottom fishing reports were slow this week.     

INSHORE-  A bit quiet on the inshore side of things.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good (Only a few days now until season opens).  A bulk of the fish remain in the inlets, though a few are breaking off and pushing back into the river.  Palm Beach County has not seen a lot of mullet yet, though rumors of some fair numbers showing up in Martin County are trickling in.  This is generally about the last moon that the snook spawn on; so expect them to be very hungry over the next few weeks!  As the mullet show up the fishing will no doubt fire off.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, and others will be close behind the mullet schools.  The snook fishing now has been best on outgoing tide, especially at spots closer to the inlets.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains a bit slow; with the Juno Beach Pier only being slightly better.  Catch and release snook fishing has been fair at the pier, with the best action coming on live baits.  Flatlining pilchards on the edge of the bait schools has been working well for the snook.  Good numbers of blue runners around the pier, with a few scattered mackerel mixed in.  Sandperch have been biting pieces of fresh shrimp in the first trough.  Small hooks and light leads are the way to go for the perch and occasional croaker.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas less than 2 ft or less. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SAT...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft in the morning, then 1 foot or less. Wave Detail: E 1 foot at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of tstms. Showers likely until late afternoon, then a chance of showers late.

"The Producer" Team had one of those days you dream about last week during the Chasen Tailz KDW Tournament: Catching this beautiful 60 plus pound wahoo and releasing 12 sailfish.  

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action has been really good the last few days, with a number of boats getting double digit chances.  The sailfish bite has been good from Palm Beach to Jupiter in 150-250' of water.  Live baits under the kite and a deep bait or two is the way to go for the sailfish.  Goggle eyes and blue runners are a solid choice for the sails.  A handful of nice blackfin tuna have been mixed in with the sailfish.  Dolphin fishing seemed to pick back up a bit this week with a handful of reports coming in.  No hot spot on the dolphin with depth ranges seeming to bounce all around.  Wahoo reports slowed a touch; but the reports on them should improve this weekend as the moon gets bigger.  Bottom fishing has been fair this week.     

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet inshore these days.  The snook have been the most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and then especially at night.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up under boat docks, mangrove edges, and seawalls with current on them.  At night look for the snook to be around bridges and under docklights.  Warm water has the snook's metabolism fired up ready to eat.  Fish moving water (the top of the outgoing tends to be the best) for the best luck on the snook.  Flairhawk jigs and bigger swimbaits are great lure choices for the snook.  Snapper fishing has been fair, with the best action coming at night.  Small pilchards and shrimp will be the way to go for the snapper. 

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains a bit slow, though we are starting to get glimpses of things breaking open.  A few early season mullet pods have been reported up to the north (Sebastian/Vero); shouldn't be long till we start to see some early season mullet showing up.  Snook fishing remains fair along the beach, especially early in the morning and late afternoon.  The snook will be in cruising the trough looking for croakers and sand perch, so cast parallel to the beach in the first trough.  The Juno Beach Pier has been active, with a handful of species around.  A good number of blue runners and small mackerel have been around.  Snook fishing has been good at the pier, with the morning and late afternoon being the best.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:

 Clients of Captain Trey (www.topwaterchartersjupiter.com) with a nice on!

OFFSHORE-  A bit slow this week, with limited reports coming in from offshore.  Still been a decent number of wahoo being caught in 150-250' of water.  Early morning and late afternoon have been the most productive for the wahoo.  Pulling the planer with a sea-witch and bonita strip combo has been a great way to target the wahoo.  A diving plug (Nomad DTX or similar) is also an easy way to get a lure down a bit for the wahoo.  Dolphin fishing slowed again this week.  Kingfish remain scattered along the 120' ledge, with it being a bit of a slow pick on them.  Snapper fishing has been fair, with some good reports coming in. 90-100' of water seems to be working well for the snapper this week, with sardines being the bait of choice.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains fair inshore, especially near the inlets.  The snook have been biting better at night, with a few popping off early in the morning as well.  As always fish a moving tide (depending on the spot incoming and outgoing will work) for best luck with the snook.  Mangrove snapper fishing has been fair inshore.  Best luck with the snapper will come at night, with the top of the outgoing tide generally being tops.  Live shrimp and small pilchards are great bait choices for the snapper.  Sandperch have been biting small pieces of fresh shrimp in the ICW.  

SURF/PIER-  A bit slow this week along the beach, with the Juno Beach Pier remaining more productive.  The Juno Beach Pier has been fair for catch and release snook fishing, with the morning and late afternoon being the best.  A few kingfish and bonita continue to cruise past the end of the pier, with a Rapala X-Rap being the top lure choice.  Blue runners and a scattering of smaller Spanish and Cero Mackerel have also been bending rods at the pier.  Croaker and sandperch have been biting in the first trough on small pieces of shrimp.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas less than 2 ft or less. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A slight chance of showers and tstms late this morning.

Something new from Belly Dancer!!!

OFFSHORE-  Wahoo fishing was absolutely on fire last weekend; and has remained good through the first part of the week.  Expect a slowdown on the wahoo as the moon shrinks down; but this time of year they will remain a possibility.  A bonita strip with a sea-witch pulled behind a planer is a solid way to target the wahoo.  Sailfish action has been great from just north of the Juno Beach Pier up to the Loran Tower in 200-300' of water.  Standard sailfish tactics will play, but don't be afraid to fish a bait or two down deep (especially in calm conditions).  Dolphin fishing slowed this week, with a few scattered fish way offshore.  A handful of big kingfish were caught along the 120' ledge this week.  Snapper fishing has been pretty good in 70-90' of water this week.  

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing remains a bit tough, with almost all of the better action coming at night.  Mangrove snapper action did seem to tick up just a bit this week.  The top of the outgoing tide (again primarily at night) has been working the best for the mangroves.  Live shrimp and small pilchards seem to be the go to baits for the snapper.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good.  The snook are hungry right now; and will readily bite bigger lures and baits.  A few very early season mullet have pushed through and the snook are definitely keyed in on them.  

SURF/PIER- Surf fishing remains a bit slow; although a small push of summertime pompano did get a few surf rods back down on the beach.  East winds in the forecast could trigger a little bite on the pompano again this weekend.  The Juno Beach Pier has been decent this week, with a little mix of species around.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good on the pier, especially first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Live baits are the best bet for the snook, but those looking for a bigger challenge will get a few bites with a small properly presented swimbait.  A fair number of cero mackerel have been around the pilchard schools, with a good number of blue runners around as well.  Sanperch and a few croakers have been coming in late in the afternoon.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: E 3 ft at 5 seconds and NW 1 foot at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and tstms in the morning, then showers and tstms likely early in the afternoon. A chance of showers and tstms late.

SAT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: SE 3 ft at 5 seconds and NW 1 foot at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and tstms until late afternoon.

SUN...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

Morning routine kind of things for @countyline_charters

OFFSHORE-  Fishing was relatively quiet offshore this week; with a fair amount of time being dedicated to lobster mini season in place of fishing.  Dolphin fishing slowed this week, with a handful of fish being caught out deep (Over 1000').  Wahoo fishing remains good on the backside of the full moon.  Wahoo bite has been best first thing in the morning; with the biggest factor being a section of water not choked with seaweed.  Find an area in 150-250' clear enough to pull the baits for more than a few minutes  and a wahoo bite is likely.  Early in the week the kingfish were biting at night on the full moon; though that bite slowed as the week went on.  Bottom fishing has been good this week.  The current on the drop has been ripping; so focus on 70-90' of water for the best results.  Sardines and squid are the way to go on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the main game in town on the inshore side of things.  The snook bite was not great this week, but those putting in the time have been catching a few.  The best numbers of snook will be around the inlets; with the top of the outgoing tide being prime time to target them.  Inshore mangrove snapper fishing remains fair, with the best action coming at night around the bridges.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp are top bait choices for the mangroves.  

SURF/PIER-  Fishing has been a bit slow this week along the beach.  Catch and release snook fishing will be the best bet, with the best action coming early in the morning.  The Juno Beach Pier has been a bit spotty this week; with a few days of fair action and other days very slow.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good at the pier, especially early and late.  A few kingfish have been cruising by the end of the pier late in the afternoon, with a Rapala X-Rap the top lure choice to throw at them.  Pretty good number son blue runners around as well.  Sandperch and a few croakers have been showing up in the trough late in the afternoon, with pieces of fresh shrimp a top bait choice for them.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft this morning, then 1 foot or less. Wave Detail: W 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A slight chance of showers and tstms early this afternoon. A chance of showers and tstms late.

IG @_.bradyk.fl putting his new Red Porcupine Custom rod to work!!!

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing seemed to slow a bit this week offshore; but still a fair number of fish around for those putting in the time.  A little deeper (Outside of 800') seemed to be working better for the dolphin.  The coming full moon next Wednesday will hopefully have the wahoo biting this weekend.  Seaweed has made all types of wahoo trolling tough; so hopefully it cleans up enough to get the planers or high sped gear out.  A few (slightly random) big blackfin tuna this week in 150-250' of water.  The bonita will no doubt be devouring everything along the 120' ledge from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  Snapper fishing remains decent this week, with some pretty good mutton reports coming in.  Mangrove snapper fishing should also improve this weekend ahead of the full moon.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the main attraction inshore these days.  While the best numbers of snook will be in the inlets, a fair number will still be caught in the Loxahatchee River and ICW as well.  During the day it's primarily live baits, especially in the inlet.  The snook bite at night around the bridges has been fair as well.  The top of the outgoing tide is the best bet for the snook, especially if targeting bigger snook with flair hawks or swimbaits.  Snapper action inshore this week was fair, and it should be good this week as well as the moon gets bigger.   

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains relatively slow, not an uncommon theme for mid summer.  Catch and release snook fishing has been fair, especially first thing in the morning.  Small twitch baits (in a pilchard color)l, paddle tails, and small white jigs are great lure choices for fishing snook along the beach.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing some fish this week.  Catch and release snook fishing has been pretty good, especially first thing in the morning and later in the afternoon.  A few bonita have still been coming through, along with a kingfish or two late in the afternoon.  Swimming plugs (Rapala  X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Mag Speed) are both great choices.  Sandperch and a few croaker have been biting in the first trough on small pieces of fresh shrimp.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: E 2 ft at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers and tstms until late afternoon.

Coming Soon...

OFFSHORE-  Still a scattered dolphin bite offshore, with the better numbers seeming to come out a bit deeper.  800-1200' of water has been fairly consistent on the dolphin.  Scattered seaweed has made trolling tough, so look for clean areas with well defined weediness for best results.  Small ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips are all good bait choices.  Sailfish action has been very good north of Jupiter Inlet (Better up towards St. Luice Inlet), with many boats getting multiple chances a day.  Most of the sailfish will be a bit deeper with 200-250' being a good range to start looking.  In along the 120' ledge the bonita (And sharks) are wreaking havoc on anything /everything crossing their paths!!!  Kingfish action has been very scattered.  Fair bottom fishing reports this week, with a few good buttons being caught by those putting the time in.

INSHORE-  Overall somewhat tough fishing inshore (Not at all uncommon for this time of year).  The Loxahatchee River will have a few snook during the day, but most of the snook will be in/around the inlets.  The best snook action will be in the inlets, especially on the top of the outgoing tide. Live croakers, sand perch, and mullet are all top bait choices for the snook in the inlet.  At night the snook have been biting flair hawk jigs around the bridges.  A few scattered mangrove snapper around inshore, with the best action on them coming at night.   

SURF/PIER-  The surf has been relatively tough to fish this week with the seaweed.  The Juno Beach Pier has been the better play.  Snook fishing has been good first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.  Bonita are still being caught off the end of the pier.  Long casting swimming plugs have been producing well.  Live baits are always a good way to go as well.  Sandperch, and a few croakers, have started to bite a little better in close.  Small pieces of shrimp is the way to go for them.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SW winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming S 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas around 2 ft in the morning, then 1 foot or less. Wave Detail: SW 1 foot at 3 seconds and N 1 foot at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers and tstms in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE-  Fishing remains good offshore headed into the holiday weekend.  Dolphin fishing remains good; with the best reports coming in from outside of 800', but some fish being caught shallower as well.  Most of the dolphin have been on the smaller side, with a handful of bigger fish in the mix.  The trick has been finding well formed weedlines and clean water, as scattered weeds have made trolling tough.  The usual assortment of small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid are all good choices for the dolphin.  The backside of the full moon has been producing a few wahoo.  The scattered weed has made wahoo trolling tough, but those fighting through it have been finding a few.  Kingfish action has been a little better along the 120' ledge this week.  Bonita have been very solid from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet n 150' of water.  Snapper fishing has been good this week.  70-90' of water seems to be producing best n the bottom, with some nice yellowtail and mutton snapper being caught.  Sardines, squid, and bonita chunks are the way to go on the bottom.     

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing has been pretty good inshore.  A bulk of the snook will be in and around Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets.  Live baits (croakers, sand perch, mullet, sardines, pilchards) is the best way to go for the snook during the day, especially while fishing in the inlets.  At night the snook will bite flair hawk jigs and bigger swimbaits, especially on an outgoing tide.  Docklights will be holding a decent number of smaller snook at night as well.  Small shrimp imitations are always a good choice when fishing docklights.  The snook will generally bite on incoming or outgoing tide; just need some moving water.  Mangrove snapper continue to bite at night in the ICW.  Live shrimp and small pilchards are a great bait option for the snapper.  

SURF/PIER-  Scattered weed has made fishing a little tough along the beach this week, but those dealing with it have been finding a few snook around.  The snook have also been biting well at the Juno Beach Pier.  Best bite on the snook will be first thing in the morning and then again at closing time.  The bonita have still been around the pier in good numbers.  A long casting plug, diamond jig, or GT Ice Cream are great lure options for the bonita from the pier.  The tarpon continue to cruise up the beach as well.  A well placed live bait is the way to go for the tarpon.  Croaker and sand perch have been biting pieces of fresh shrimp in the first trough.

Top fly guide Captain Eric (IG@ countyline_charters) out making summertime memories this week for Colorado Bill!

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing remains pretty good, with most of the better reports seeming to come from 800-1200' of water.  Southeast winds in the forecast should keep the dolphin fishing good headed into the weekend.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid has been working well for the dolphin.  With a decent number of dolphin still around a handful of blue marlin have been in the area as well.  Blackfin tuna reports clicked back up a bit off Palm Beach Inlet this week in 250-300' of water.  The full moon has everybody thinking about wahoo right now.  A few wahoo reports have come in this week; and conditions look great headed into the weekend.  Troilling a seawitch/bonita strip behind a planer is always a great way to go for the wahoo; with high speed trolling also being a great way to go.  Kingfish action picked up this week, with some pretty solid catches coming in along the 120' ledge.  The bonita are here in massive numbers from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  Snapper fishing remains good, with some nice mutton snapper coming up this week.    

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet inshore these days.  Most action is going to happen in and around the inlets right now.  During the day live baits are the best bet for the snook, with sand perch and croakers being top producers.  At night the snook have been biting flair hawks and swimbaits well.  The water overall has been very clear, so fishing later into the outgoing tide seems to be working the best when the water gets a little ore color to it.  Mangrove snapper have been biting around the bridges at night.   

SURF/PIER- Snook fishing has been very good this week; both along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Best action on the snook will be early morning and late afternoon.  Live croakers and sand perch are a solid bait choice for the snook, with sardines and pilchards also working well.  During the day smaller jigs, swimbaits, and twitch baits are good lure choices for the snook.  At night a bigger flair hawk or swimbait is a great way to go.   Stay with lighter weights to keep the lures from digging into the sand too much.  The bonita have been cruising past the end of the pier in schools.  A long casting lure like a Rapala X-Rap, Yo-Zuri Mag Speed, or GT Ice Cream is a great way to go for targeting the bonita.  Tarpon have still been cruising down the beach in pretty good numbers.  Early morning tends to be best bet for the tarpon.

It's that time of year...Jeff with a nice one (Extra nice when you hear it was caught with 40lb Fluoro leader and a circle hook!)
