OPEN EASTER SUNDAY 6AM-12PM
Special Note... Monday April 2nd we will be closing at 5PM

OFFSHORE- Wind and rough ocean conditions have kept reports to a minimum this week.  Looks like it is shaping up to be a fair weekend offshore though.  Could see a very good dolphin bite in 200-400' of water from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and sqDuid will all be good choices for the dolphin.  Sailfish are still hanging around in the same areas.  Expect the kingfish to show up in pretty good numbers at almost anytime.  No bottom fishing reports to write about, but that will change with improving weather conditions.

INSHORE- Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  The bigger snook are biting mullet, big swibaits, and swimming plugs well right now.  Live shrimp and smaller swimbaits are working well for getting lots of snook bites.  Good numbers of jacks cruising seawalls in the ICW right now.  Still seeing a good number of sheepshead and some black drum around; both are eating live shrimp well.

SURF/PIER-  Pompano fishing has been good when conditions allow.  Sandfleas, clams, and fishbites are the top baits for the pompano.  The bluefish action has started to slow, but is starting to be filled in with the arrival of some snook along the beach.  Croakers and whiting are biting well in the first trough on small pieces of fresh shrimp.

OFFSHORE:  Pretty good fishing offshore when the weather allows right now.  The late season cold front has the sails perked up pretty good in 150-200' of water.  Live baits (goggle eyes and small blue runners) under the kite is the way to go for the sailfish.  Dolphin action has been consistent as well in 200-300' of water from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlets.  The fish are in smaller packs, not large schools.  Setting up a drift and chumming is a great way to catch the dolphin right now.  A little block chum and some menhaden oil is all you need to get the dolphin around in a hurry.  Keep a sardines or ballyhoo floating in the chum, and be sure to have a few rods ready to go when you see em.  Most of the dolphin have been decent ones in the 8-10lb range.  Scattered kingfish are biting in 100-120' of water on sardines.  Bottom fishing remains good with some good snapper reports coming in.  The cobia are starting to show up in fair numbers in 90-120' of water as well.  Good late winter/early spring fishing going on right now; go if the weather allows this weekend!

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  The snook are biting live shrimp at night around bridges and docklights, and live mullet around docks and seawalls during the day.  The snook maybe a bit sluggish after the front so be prepared to slow things down.  Some big jacks are cruising the ICW.  A noisy topwater plug along a seawall is a god way to go to get the big jacks fired up.  The Sheepshead have been biting around area bridges and boat docks on live shrimp and sandfleas.  Overall pretty good inshore fishing right now.

SURF/PIER:  Pompano fishing was fair this week; both from the pier and beach.  Doc's Goofy Jigs are catching them from the pier, while sand fleas and clams are the way to go from the beach.  Some large bluefish around right now.  Spoons and topwater are a good choice for the bluefish.  Scattered spanish mackerel around.  Lots of sharks along the beach right now, including some full size ones! Could be a pretty good weekend on the beach fishing wise this weekend!

OFFSHORE-  Good mixed bag action offshore right now.  Sailfish action is still good, with many boats getting multiple chances.  Standard drill for the sailfish.  Look for good current, blue water(or a defined color change), and lots of bait...and the sails won't be far behind.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners are hard to beat for the sailfish; especially when presented below a kite.  Mixed in with the sailfish have been a decent number of dolphin.  Dolphin will bite the live baits, and are also willing to jump on a trolled ballyhoo or bonita strip as well.  Inside of 120' the kingfish remain scattered up and down the reef in fair numbers.  The big news this week was the arrival of a good number of cobia out of Jupiter Inlet.  The drift boats out of Jupiter picked away at the snapper as well as the cobia.  Nice looking forecast for the weekend...not something you always get in March; go if you get the chance! 

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains the main game in town right now.  The bridges continue to produce a decent bite at night, while docks and seawalls continue to hold the snook during the day.  The springtime mullet are still coming through; so the snook are not afraid to eat a big bait right now.  Sheepshead, black drum, and even a few redfish are hanging out in the ICW and Loxahatchee river right now and are eating live shrimp pretty good.  The tarpon are in Palm Beach Inlet, along with some schools of big jacks. 

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier saw some good action this week on big bluefish and good numbers of pompano as well.  The bluefish were chomping big topwater plugs and diamond jigs, while the pompano were eating sand fleas and clams the best.  The blacktip sharks were not far behind either the blues or the pompano. Good if your into shark, bad if your trying to get dinner to the beach!  Along the beach, the pompano action has been very good.  Early morning and late afternoon produced the best bite on the pompano.  Sandfleas, clams, and fishbones were the baits of choice for the pompano.  Croaker and whiting have been biting in the first trough.  Some schools of big jacks moving along the beach as well.  

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 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. .SATURDAY NIGHT...West southwest winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SUNDAY...South southwest winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

OFFSHORE:  Quite a few boats were able to make it out Palm Beach (Lake Worth) Inlet this week despite the very large swell, and were rewarded with some pretty good fishing.  Dolphin, mostly smaller with a few good ones mixed in, have been around in good numbers in 150-200' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid have all been working well for the dolphin this week.  Sailfish action remains pretty consistent, with most boats getting a few chances a day.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners remain the baits of choice for the sails.  Inside of the 120' ledge the kingfish are  scattered up and down the line in fair numbers.  The cobia are also being caught in 90-120' of water.  The springtime cobia/shark pattern seems to be starting to set in.  Bottom fishing was a bit off this week by most reports; should improve with the diminishing swell. 

INSHORE:  Inshore reports were a bit slim this week.  Snook fishing remains fair for those really putting the time in.  The bridges are producing some good fish at night on flair hawks and shrimp jigs.  Both incoming and outgoing tide seem to be producing some snook.  During the day the snook remain locked in tight along seawalls and boat docks looking for springtime silver mullet headed back north.  Also cruising the seawalls will be some large jacks.  Tarpon are still hanging around Palm Beach Inlet.  Other inshore action remains a bit spotty.

SURF/PIER:  Large swells had the beach (and even the Juno Beach Pier) pretty much entirely shut down from fishing.  A few pompano were caught Wednesday afternoon.  A few bluefish were caught on the pier using cut bait as well.  Looks like conditions should be a little better this weekend for better fishing.  Water clarity has looked surprisingly good, so should it become fishable we should be in for a good pompano bite.  Still a good number of blacktop sharks around as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...North northeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas to 9 feet. Period 7 seconds increasing to 13 seconds. North northeast swell 3 to 4 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to east southeast 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. North northeast swell around 3 feet in the morning. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SUNDAY...Southwest winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to south southwest 15 to 20 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Showers likely and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Three days of north wind could really fire up a hot late season sailfish bite for the weekend.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners will be the ideal bait choice for the sailfish, especially when presented below a kite.  Trolling small naked ballyhoo is also a good way to go for the sailfish.  Use a strip-teaser or small dredge in the trolling spread to really help raise the sailfish.  In with the sailfish should be a good number of dolphin.  The dolphin won't be in huge schools, but the average size should be pushing ten pounds.  Look for the best action on the dolphin and sailfish to be in 150-300' of water.  Kingfish action continues to improve in 100-150' of water from the Juno Beach Pier up to Jupiter Inlet.  Bottom fishing has remained very good.  Good assortment of snapper being caught, banded rudder fish starting to show, and a few cobia around as well.  Sardines remain the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing continues to dominate the inshore scene right now.  Springtime mullet continue to push through and the snook (especially the bigger ones) are keyed in on them.  The bridges are holding snook at night, especially on the outgoing tide.  Flairhawk jigs and big swimbaits remain solid bait choices for the snook right now.  The Loxahatchee River has been holding some large jacks and juvenile tarpon.  Be prepared to cover some water to find them.  Sheepshead have been biting around boat docks and bridge pilings.  Look for pilings covered in barnacles to be holding the most sheepshead.  Palm Beach Inlet has been holding a good number of jacks and tarpon as well.  The jacks aren't overly particular about what they eat...the tarpon like live shrimp!

SURF/PIER:  Pompano fishing improved over the past few days, with some good catches coming from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBites remain the baits of choice for the pompano.  Hopefully conditions don't go away to quick and the pomps hang around for a bit.  Scattered bluefish and mackerel have been hanging around, but not in huge numbers.  Croakers are biting in the first trough on fresh cut shrimp.  The blacktop sharks are around in good numbers and very willing to bite a fresh chunk of bait.
