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.

OFFSHORE:  Good dolphin fishing again this week.  Didn't see quite the numbers of the past few weeks; but the overall size did seem to improve.  No monster dolphin around; but a good number of 8-12lbers in the mix.  Trolling bonita strips and squid has been a solid bet for the dolphin.  Best depth has bounced around all over the place; but 500-600' depending on the conditions seems to be producing pretty consistent results.  Lots of live in around the 120' ledge.  It's primarily bonita; but they do bring a lot of others around including kings, wahoos, sharks, and more.  A few wahoo around, and look for that to improve as we get closer to the next moon.  Snapper fishing remains good along the bottom.  A good mix of mutton, mangrove, and yellowtail snapper around.  Sardines, as usual, will be the best bet on the bottom.  

​INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  While a good majority of the snook are in/around Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlet;  the ICW and Loxahatchee River are also holding a good number of fish.  The snook inshore can't turn down a mullet fished along a seawall or splashing under a boat dock.  Closer to the inlet the snook will be keyed in on sand perch and croakers.  Still a pretty good jig and swimbait bite around the bridges at night.  Outgoing tide (in a majority of spots) will be the best bet.  Mangrove snapper are also biting around the bridges at night.  

SURF/PIER:  Catch and release snook fishing remains very strong along the beach.  The snook fishing would be even better if the seaweed would give us a little break; but with east winds in the forecast that does not seem too likely.  Look for lures that are weedless or semi weedless to produce the best.  A Texas rigged soft plastic jerk bait is killer along the beach in these conditions.  For best luck go with light natural colors and as light of fluorocarbon leader as you dare!  Live croakers and sandperch will be the baits of choice to try and get those big snook in the surf.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a few permit around this week, along with a few passing tarpon.  The Jupiter Inlet has been producing a decent little snapper bite; with a few mangrove and cubera snapper being caught.      

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

SATURDAY...East southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers likely in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms through the day. Chance of showers in the afternoon.

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

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing remained good offshore this week, with the biggest challenge being guessing the right depth to find them.  Heard of dolphin being caught as shallow as 120' this week all the way to 1200'.  Best bet has been to find well defined weediness, floating debris, temperature changes, and large areas of flying fish...the dolphin won't be far behind.  Trolling bonita strips and squid has been a very safe bet for the dolphin.  A handful of kingfish showed up this week along the 120' ledge.  Blackfin Tuna continue to bite in 200-300' of water; along with a wahoo or two as well.  Lots of bonita, big blue runners, and sharks around the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing improved this week, with some nice muttons being caught this week.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains very good inshore and in the inlets right now.  Full on summertime spawn mode right now; so take care of those big female fish.  Look for the snook to be most active around the bridges at night.  A flair hawk is a great choice for the snook right now.  Outgoing tide tends to be best for the snook, but don't discount incoming tide in certain situations.  Mangrove snapper reports remain pretty good for those putting the time in.  

SURF/PIER-  Fairly typical summertime pattern setting in on the beach and at the pier these days.  Catch and release snook fishing will be the most consistent game in town, with the numbers really starting to improve over the past week or two.  Look for the snook to be the most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and at night.  Swimbaits and swimming plugs are a good choice for the snook for lures.  For live bait it's hard to top a sand perch or croaker; especially for the bigger fish.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a fair number of blue runners and Spanish Mackerel around, along with a kingfish or two. A white crappie jig is the top lure choice for the mackerel; while a small freelanced pilchard is the way to go baitwise.   Some decent schools of jacks and tarpon cruising the beach as well.  Actually heard of a summer pompano or two caught this week 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SATURDAY...East southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers likely and chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Offshore reports were a bit slim this week, largely due to less than ideal weather conditions.  A cold water upwelling on the bottom had also thrown a wrench into the works over the past week.  Thankfully the weather is looking good for the weekend, and the water seems to be returning to normal over the past few days.  Still a good number of dolphin around ...just have to go looking for them.  A few wahoo around, but not in any great numbers.  Kingfish action remains hit or miss at best.  Bottom fishing has been tough due to cold water on the bottom as mentioned earlier, but has started to get back to normal.  Some good mutton snapper reports if you land on the right spot.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now.  The snook are in full spawning mode right now, so look for areas near the inlet to be your best bet.  If fishing in the inlet itself is not your thing; look for bridges, boat docks, and seawalls near inlets to also be holding a good number of fish.  Snapper fishing has been pretty good inshore, with a fair number of mangroves moving into their summertime hangouts.  Live shrimp and small pilchards are great bait choices for the snapper.  A handful of jacks and tarpon around inshore, but not in huge numbers.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf reports were a bit slim this week; largely due to less than ideal weather conditions and lots of seaweed.   Catch and release snook fishing will be the best bet this weekend.  If your fishing for the snook at night try a Flair Hawk jig or bigger swimbait (like a SpoolTek or Hogy Paddletail).  During the day stick with the live baits for best chance at the snook.  A big croaker or sand perch will be the best bet for the big snook, while pilchards and sardines are a good choice for catching numbers.  The Juno Beach Pier snook bite seems to be getting better by the day.  Tarpon have still been spotted cruising along the beach, along with some big jacks.  The Jupiter Inlet has started to produce a few mangrove snapper on the jetty, along with good numbers of snook.  Croaker and perch are biting fair in the first trough on small pieces of live shrimp.

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing was a bit spotty this week, but overall still good.  Best dolphin reports continue to come from 400-600' of water, with some deeper and shallower as well.  Trolling bonita strips and squid has been a really good bet for the dolphin.  Lots of sailfish offshore right now in 250-400' of water.  Live sardines and thread fins are the top choices for the sails right now.  Look for current rips and large areas of bait...the sails won't be far behind.   Still some good blackfin tuna being caught in 200-300' of water.  Kingfish remain along the 120' ledge in good numbers.  Lots of bonita around right now.  Yes they can be a pin in the butt; but they do bring with them a lot of extra life.  Snapper fishing has been good this week in 90' of water.  Sardines remain the bait of choice.  
​
INSHORE-  The inshore scene remains dominated largely by the catch and release snook scene.  Lots of snook around right now, especially closer to the inlets.  Look for the snook to bite best at night, especially on the outgoing tide.  During the day they will be largely tucked up under boat docks and tight to seawalls looking for an easy meal.  Some bruiser jacks inshore as well, but not in big numbers.  Mangrove snapper have been biting well in their usual summertime hangout spots, along with the sand perch.

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier and Jupiter Inlet both saw the snook show up in pretty good numbers over the past few days.  A live croaker is going to be top bait choice for the snook; with a palm size sand perch being the next best bet.  Before the sun comes up; a flair hawk jig or large swimbait will also get some bites from the snook.  The Juno Beach Pier has also seen a nice push of bonito show up this week, along with a kingfish or two.  Tarpon are still pushing up the beach in fair numbers, along with some good schools of jacks.

OFFSHORE-  Took a little while for the reports to start trickling in this week; but they are starting to sound pretty good!  Lots of dolphin around in 200-500' of water over the past few days.  The big problem being...they are largely on the small side.  Those taking the time to pick through the small ones and be patient are finding some good ones in the mix.  Getting a larger bait out or a bait down deep when the small ones are around is a good way to find a bigger one (Dropping a jig down 60-100' below small dolphin and bringing it up is also a great way to pick off a lurking wahoo!).  Trolling bonita strips and squid has been a really good choice for the dolphin this week.  In 200-300' of water the blackfin tuna continue to bite good.  Small trolling feathers and daisy chains are a safe bet for numbers, while a bait down deep is the best way to go for bigger ones.  Kingfish have been biting good along the 120' ledge, especially later into the afternoon.Snapper fishing remains good in 80-100' of water from the Juno Beach Pier up to Jupiter Inlet.  Sardines, as usual, are a top bait choice; but don't overlook a nice fresh strip of bonita as a good bait option as well.

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing has been very good in the ICW and Loxahatchee River over the past week.  Live mullet in the river fished along seawalls and under boat docks are a really good way to go for great chances at some big snook.  Fishing a topwater, like a Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil, along seawalls is also a good option early in the morning or late in the afternoon.  At night look for snook to be in numbers under docklights or stacked up along bridge shadow-lines.  Fishing a flair hawk or big swimbait at night is a good way to go for quality bites at night.  Typically outgoing tide will be best; but that will also depend on water conditions.  Mangrove snapper reports continue to improve inshore; although it hasn't opened up full on just yet.  

SURF/PIER-  The snook bite, though kind of behind schedule, is starting to get rolling at the Juno Beach Pier.  Live croakers or sand perch will be the best bet for the snook, especially the bigger ones.  A live sardine or pilchard will also get the attention of the snook as well.  Conditions have been a little calm/clear for a plug bite; but a few will take a look at a swimbait or swimming plug usually first thing in the morning.  A fair number of big jacks cruising through, along with a good number of tarpon.  Still a few reports of some permit cruising through.  A handful of mangrove snapper hanging around the pilings.  Croakers are biting in the surf, with small live shrimp and pieces of shrimp being the best bait choice.

FRIDAY...South southeast winds 5 to 15 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE-  Mixed reports offshore this week.  Dolphin fishing remains pretty good, but the fish seemed a little more scattered this week.  Dolphin reports seemed to bounce around from 400-1200' of water.  East southeast winds should help blow the dolphin in a little closer this weekend.  The usual trolling spread (bonita strips, squid, ballyhoo, etc) continues to get the job done on the dolphin.  When it comes to dolphin it's more about luck and being in the right place at the right time than it is magic lures and baits.  Keep your eyes open for floating debris, well formed weediness, current rips or color changes, or large schools of flying fish getting up are all great places to look for the dolphin.  Blackfin tuna reports remain strong in 200-300' of water.  Trolling small feathers, daisy chains, and tandem Jaw Lures remain a really good way to go for the tuna, especially in numbers.  For larger tuna it's all about presenting live baits down 20-30' below the surface.  The Blackfin will generally bite best very early in the morning and then again late in the afternoon as the sun goes down.  Kingfish numbers remain strong along the 120' ledge.  Smaller live baits (pilchards, thread fins, sardines) or dead sardines will be a good way to go for the kings...just get them in quick as the sharks have been extra brutal the last few weeks!  Snapper fishing remains very good.  Still getting a lot of really nice mutton reports in 80-100' of water.  A sardine on a slide rig is a safe bet for the muttons.  Just like the kingfish; get them snappers in quick...the sharks like them more than you do! 

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing will be the best bet inshore.  The snook are biting well around the bridges at night.  A flair hawk jig on outgoing tide is the best bet for the snook at night.  During the day look for the snook to be in the inlets or tucked up under boat docks.  In the inlet live croakers and sand perch will be the top bait choices for the snook.  A few big jacks still cruising around the ICW looking to blast a mullet along a seawall.  Mangrove snapper reports are starting to improve on a weekly basis.  Small live pilchards and shrimp are a good choice for the mangroves.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains a bit spotty overall.  We are in that transition period between pompano season and all out summer snook.  Still a few pompano around, but the numbers are way down.  If your trying to get one or two more before they make their way north for the summer go early in the morning.  Don't expect big numbers of pompano by any means but getting a few sandfleas out early in the morning could still get you some bites.  Tarpon showed up decently along the beach last weekend, and conditions look right to see them again this weekend.  Look for the tarpon to be most active, and typically easiest to spot, early in the morning.  Snook season may be closed now, but catch and release action will only improve as we move farther into the summer.  Small swimming plugs, swimsuits, and small jigs are a good bet for targeting snook in the surf.  Croakers are biting good in the trough on small pieces of shrimp.

OFFSHORE-  Overall very good fishing offshore this week.  Dolphin fishing remains very very good.  Reports on the dolphin continue to bounce around from 200-800' of water.  Trolling bonita strips, squid, and ballyhoo are all solid choices for the dolphin.  A small daisy chain or tandem trolling lure (like a Jaw Lures Tuna Buster) are also a good choice for the dolphin.  Blackfin Tuna reports remain very strong in 200-300' of water as well.  Both good numbers and good size tuna around.  Trolling the usual small tuna feathers and daisy chains is a good way to go for the tunas early and late in the day.  The best bet for the bigger tuna is to get a smaller live bait (sardine or pilchard is ideal) 20-40' below the surface.  Wahoo reports were decent this week on the moon; and that should continue into the weekend.  Best depth for the wahoo will be 150-250' of water early; and then they will slide out to 200-300' as the sun gets up.  Good kingfish bite along the 120' ledge.  Drifting the edge with live or dead sardines will be the best bet for the kings.  Good snapper reports this week in 80-100' of water.  Some really nice mutton snapper have been caught this week.  Great fishing this week...take advantage of it now!!!

INSHORE-  Last weekend of snook season...get out and make it a productive one!  Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore now.  As we move into the summer that will likely remain the case.  Snook are in the Loxahatchee River in good numbers during the day.  Look for boat docks and seawalls on points (all about the ambush points!) to be the key spots to find snook.  They will use the tide in their favor; so present baits and lures up-current so they flow back naturally.  Topwater bite for the snook has been on early and late in the day.  The Yo-Zuri Pencil is a great choice for the snook.  Some big jacks will also be in the same areas as the snook, though they are not as likely to be sitting still.  Look for the jacks to be moving and pushing water.  The Snook will also be biting at night around the bridges, especially closer to the inlets.  Flair Hawk jigs and swimbaits remain top choices; especially for slots and overs.  Look for outgoing tide to be best depending on where you are; but don't rule out incoming tide in dirtier water situations.  Mangrove snapper reports are improving inshore.  Live shrimp and small pilchards are solid choices for the mangroves.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf conditions were a lot nicer this week; but lingering seaweed made for tough surf fishing overall.  The Juno Beach Pier has been the much better bet, with a good variety of action.  Spanish Mackerel are around in good numbers and have been biting crappie jigs and small swimming plugs.  The snook fishing also continues to improve at the pier.  This is the last weekend to invite a slot home for dinner, so expect a pretty good size crowd most likely.  Kingfish are around first thing in the morning and again late in the afternoon.  A big swimming plug (Size 14 Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Longcast) is the best way to target the kingfish.  A handful of late season pompano have been caught on Goofy Jigs; but don't expect big numbers of them.  Best chance on the pompano will be right as the sun comes up.  Croaker have been biting pieces of shrimp well.  Conditions look right this weekend for the tarpon and/or big jacks to be cruising along the beach.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...South southeast winds 5 to 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

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

OFFSHORE-  Good fishing reports coming in from the few boats that have made it out over the past week.  Less than ideal conditions have kept pretty much everybody at the dock; but a lot of fish around for those that have braved it.  Good number of sailfish around, and the rough weather has them fired up and feeding on top.   Best bet will be to get the kites up and keep some goggle eyes or small blue runners splashing around underneath them.  This time of year pilchards, sardines, and threadfins are a must have as well; and will get gobbled up quick on the flatlines.  Good numbers of dolphin mixed in with the sails,  with just about all of them being big enough to need a gaff.  The dolphin are eating the live baits good, and also being caught on the troll.  Lots of broken up weed floating around offshore, so trolling has been a chore.  In the same 150-300' range that the dolphin and sails have been the blackfin tuna are biting good as well.  For the most part the tuna are going to bite best early in the morning and then again later in the afternoon.   Some big mutton snapper around this week as well.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing has been good inshore.  The snook are definitely in pre-spawn pattern...which means they are hungry and ready to eat!  Look for the snook to be active along seawalls and under boat docks (especially those with current breaks and ambush spots) early in the morning and late in the day on moving tides.  A live mullet is a good bait choice; if your into lures try a Yo-Zuri Hydro or TopKnock pencil.  At night look for the bridge snook bite to be your best bet.  Flair Hawk jigs and bigger swimbaits will be good lure choices for targeting them at night.  Some big jacks cruising around inshore right now.  Snapper reports are picking up inshore as well.  

SURF/PIER-  Tough fishing along the beach and at the pier this week with a mad rough ocean and lots of seaweed.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair snook bite, and when conditions were a little better a few permit have been around as well.  Unfortunately the conditions don't really look like they will improve much over the next few days.  Jupiter Inlet will be a option to try as the snook are starting to stage for the spawn, and a fair number of snapper have been mixed in as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East northeast winds around 20 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas to 9 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

SATURDAY...East northeast winds around 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots along the coast to east northeast 15 to 20 knots with gusts to around 25 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas to 8 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.
