OFFSHORE- Rough choppy weather for the first part of the week has kept most people at the dock. Those making it out are finding a handful of sailfish around. No huge numbers of sails, but most boats are getting at least a few chances a day. Good mixed bag action is filling in the time when the sails aren't biting. Decent number of dolphin around right now. Look for the sailfish and dolphin to be in 150-300' of water up and down the line. Live goggle eyes and blue runners under the kite are great choice for the sails and dolphin, while trolling small naked ballyhoo will also do the trick. Kingfish action has been improving weekly. The kingfish have been ranging in size from just legal to forty pounds and have been hanging around in 100-120' of water. A few cobia reports trickling in from the same area as the kings. Sardines remain a top choice for both. Bottom fishing remains very good as well right now. Nice assortment of snapper and other assorted species hanging out on the bottom right now.
INSHORE- Snook fishing has been good with the above average warm weather. Look for the snook to be locked in along seawalls and under boat docks. Springtime push of mullet moving north is going on, so don't be afraid to chunk the big baits right now. Area bridges are producing a good number of snook at night, especially on the outgoing tide. Flair hawk jigs and big swimbaits are a great lure choice right now. In with the snook have been a good number of jacks, including some real bruisers! Live mullet and loud noisy topwater are great choices for the bihg jacks cruising around. Tarpon are around Palm Beach Inlet in good numbers right now. A large live shrimp is a great choice for the tarpon. SURF/PIER- A little slower on the beach this week, but still some decent fishing. Pompano are around in fair numbers. Sandfleas, clams, and fishbones have been the top baits for the pompano. The Juno Beach Pier has been seeing a few mackerel and some jacks. Croakers are around the pier and seem to be biting live shrimp the best. Fair number of spinner sharks hanging around the Juno Beach Pier/Juno Beach area if that's your thing. Fresh cut bait is a great choice for the spinners, as are large popping plugs. NOAA MARINE WEATHER- FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to east 15 to 20 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers in the morning. A slight chance of showers in the afternoon. SATURDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers in the morning...then a slight chance of showers in the afternoon. SUNDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to southeast 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers. Thanks For Reading, Todd OFFSHORE- Forecast a lot of you have been waiting for looks like it's on tap for the weekend!!! Sailfish action slowed this week, but a mixed bag of early arriving springtime species helped pick up the slack. Dolphin fishing was pretty good in 250-350' of water this week from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet. Bonita strips, trolling squid, and small trolling feathers were all good bait choices for the dolphin. The 150' ledge also had a good mixture of fish around. Kingfish, in a assortment of sizes, have been in 100-150' of water in fair numbers. In on top of the 120' ledge bottom fishing remains very good. Nice mixed bag of snapper around as well as a few cobia. Spanish sardines remain the bait of choice for all those species.
INSHORE- Warming weather has the snook fishing really heating up. Good number of snook around the bridges at night, and locked tight to seawalls and under boat docks during the day. Live shrimp is still a solid choice for the snook, but bigger baitfish are going to start to come into play as well. Flair hawk jigs and bigger swimsuits will also remain solid baits for the snook. Action around Munyon Island remains good with a nice mixture of species around. Some sheepshead still biting around area bridges on fresh cut shrimp. SURF/PIER- Pompano action was fair this week. Some anglers tracked down good numbers, while others picked away at one here and there. Sandfleas, clams, and FishBites are the top bait choices for the pompano right now. Good number of bluefish around as well as some Spanish Mackerel. The spinner sharks have started to show up in pretty good numbers as well. Late winter/early springtime action in full effect right now...should be a good weekend to go give them a shot on the beach! NOAA MARINE WEATHER- FRIDAY...Winds south southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. SATURDAY ...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. SUNDAY...Southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A slight chance of showers. Thanks For Reading, Todd OFFSHORE- Not the best or the worst weekend forecast that we've seen lately. Sailfish action was a bit spotty this week, but some boats did still manage to find a decent numbers (Others unfortunately had a hard time buying a bite!). Live baits (goggle eyes, blue runners, and threadfin) remain the top choice for the sailfish, especially south of Jupiter Inlet. As you move north of Jupiter Inlet trolling ballyhoo for the sails becomes a little more popular. Best depth for the sailfish remains 150-300'of water. Mixed in with the sailfish have been a fair number of dolphin. Trolling bonita strips and squid is a good bet for the dolphin, as are the same live baits used for the sailfish. Kingfish are inside of 100' of water in good numbers. Quite a mixture of size in the kingfish, with some barely measuring and others pushing over twenty pounds. Bottom fishing remains very good. Nice mixture of snapper around, as well as other assorted bottom species. Good news is a few cobia are showing up on the bottom. Sardines remain the bait of choice for the bottom.
INSHORE- A bit spotty on the inshore front this week. Snook fishing has been good, with the bridges producing some decent catches at night. The flats around Munyon Island and Hobe Sound have been producing a mixed bag of species. Sheepshead have been biting around the bridges on fresh shrimp. A few reports of some pompano around in the Loxahatchee River and ICW. Other inshore action remains spotty. SURF/PIER- Pompano fishing has been good over the past week, and should remain good for the near future(as long as the sharks don't scare everything off!). Sandfleas, clams, and Fishbites are the baits of choice for the pompano. Best pompano action has been north of Jupiter Inlet, with some fair catches also coming at the Juno Beach Pier and along Juno Beach. Low light periods of the day are best for the pompano. Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish remain scattered up and down the beach in fair numbers. This week saw a nice push of Spinner Sharks along the beach as well. The spinner sharks are great fun on light tackle, especially on topwater lures. NOAA MARINE WEATHER- FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers in the morning. SATURDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers in the morning. SUNDAY...Winds southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Thanks For Reading, Todd OFFSHORE- It's been a bit of a crap shoot with the weather, but the fishing over the past few days has been pretty good. Sailfish action remains good, with some days still producing double digit chances. Sailfish action seems to remain scattered up and down the line in 150-300' of water primarily. Mixed in with the sailfish has been a good number of dolphin, including some very solid sized ones. Also, hearing a report or two of some very nice blackfin tuna around in the same areas. Snapper have been biting on the bottom, with some reports of cobia thrown in the mix as well. Sounds like pretty good fishing overall...let's just hope the weather report is a little off so everyone can get out.
INSHORE- Snook season is back open, and the slot size fish have been around. Look for the bridges to produce at night; especially on outgoing tide. Flair Hawks, Shrimp Jigs, and medium sized swimbaits have all been good choices for the snook as of late. A nice live shrimp is also pretty hard for the snook to pass up as well right now. Fair reports of sheepshead and black drum around the bridges. SURF/PIER- Pompano have been showing on and off at the Juno Beach Pier over the past week. Doc's Goofy Jigs have been the lure of choice, while clams and sand fleas are doing the trick bait wise. Some bluefish and Spanish Mackerel around, as well as a fair number of jacks. Sounds like the sharks are starting to show in a little better numbers as well. Could be a fishy weekend along the beach...go if you get a chance! NOAA MARINE WEATHER- FRIDAY...North winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 10 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A slight chance of showers in the morning. SATURDAY...East northeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts to around 30 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. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A slight chance of showers. SUNDAY...South southeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas to 8 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers. MONDAY...Along the coast, west winds 5 to 10 knots. North in the afternoon. In the Gulf Stream, west winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers.
