OFFSHORE-  Scattered dolphin around this week, though reports did seem to fall off a bit.  No rhyme or reason on the dolphin this week, instead it's more of getting lucky and running across them.  As we move later into the summer it's very common for the dolphin to spread out across a much wider area.  If it's dolphin your after be prepared to run and burn some fuel.  While blind trolling could produce some dolphin; it's much better to focus the search on floating debris, well formed weed lines, current rips, color changes, etc.  In 200-300' of water still seeing a few blackfin tuna around; though numbers of tuna continue to fall off as well.  Best action on the tuna will be early morning and late afternoon.  Wahoo reports ticked up slightly in numbers over the past week.  As the moon gets bigger (July 10th is next Full Moon) look for the wahoo bite to continue to improve.  Kingfish remain scattered along the 120' ledge indecent numbers; you just have to get past the bonita to catch them!  Strong snapper fishing this week in 90-120' of water.  A nice mix of yellowtail and muttons making up most of the catch, with a few mangrove snapper thrown in as well.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now.  A fair number of snook in the Loxahatchee right now, but a bulk of the snook have pushed towards the inlets to spawn.  Bridges closer to the inlets have been holding a decent number of snook at night.  Fish outgoing tide with flair hawk jigs and bigger swimbaits for a good chance at a bigger bite from a full grown snook.  The snook have also been hanging around docklights.  The dock light fish tend to be a bit smaller size wise; but make up for it with better numbers a lot of times.  Shrimp lures (DOA, Vudu, Savage) tend to be a great choice for the snook around docklights.  A decent number of jacks and the occasional tarpon will be mixed in with the snook in the lights as well.  A few mangrove snapper hanging around the bridges as well, with the best bite on them coming at night.  Live shrimp and small live pilchards are great bait choices for the mangrove snapper.  

SURF/PIER-  The surf fishing remains a bit quite overall, not uncommon for this time of year.  Catch and release snook fishing has picked up a bit, and should only improve as we move into the heart of summer.  The snook fishing remains good on the Juno Beach Pier.  Best bite on the pier snook will be early in the morning and then again at closing time.  If the snook are fired up and floating in the bait schools then a flatlined live bait is the way to go.  If the snook aren't as active; try fishing the bait on the bottom under the pier.  A handful of jacks still cruising the beach, along with some schools of tarpon.  A handful of croaker and sand perch biting in the first trough.  Small pieces of fresh shrimp is the top bait choice for them.

Some fresh new hats in this week.  Available in-store now, be up on the website soon!

OFFSHORE-  Still getting some fairly decent dolphin reports this week.  500-800' of water seemed to be the most consistent range for the dolphin; with some reports coming in shallower and deeper a s well.  The usual assortment of trolling baits (ballyhoo, bonita strip, squid) will continue to work on the dolphin.  Blackfin tuna bite slowed agin this week, with some still some being caught in 200-300' of water.  Wahoo bite never really seemed to get going on the full moon; hopefully a few more start to show up ahead of the July moon.  Kingfish bite remains fair along the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing seemed to be a little better this week, with a good mixed bag of yellowtail and mutton snapper around.    

INSHORE-  Definitely moving into the summer inshore doldrums at a rapid pace.   Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet; but even that is getting a bit tough.  Best bet is to target the snook at night around bridges and dock lights, especially on an outgoing tide.  Bridges closer to the inlets will likely have more fish than ones further inshore.  A few scattered mangrove snapper and sand perch reports, but overall a pretty tough pick.  

SURF/PIER- The surf has been a bit quiet this week; with slightly chopped up conditions and a fair amount of seaweed and slime making fishing a bit tough.  The Juno Beach Pier though has been producing a few fish this week.  Catch and release snook fishing has been fairly good on the pier, especially on days that the bait pushes in good.  Best bait for the snook has been sand perch and sardines, with the bite seeming to be a little better late in the afternoon.  A fair number of jacks (mostly smaller) still swimming by.  Some good schools of tarpon around as well.  No mangrove snapper reports yet on the pier; but it is about time for them to start showing up a bit.  

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. A chance of showers.

SAT...SE winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: E 2 ft at 3 seconds. A chance of showers and tstms.

SUN...E winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: E 2 ft at 4 seconds. Showers likely with a chance of tstms.

OFFSHORE-  Still a decent pick on the dolphin this week; and SE winds throughout the weekend should keep them biting pretty good.  Best depth on the dolphin has bounced around this week, with reports coming in from 200-1000' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips remains a solid choice for the dolphin.  Look for the dolphin to be relating best to defined weed lines, floating debris, or defined rips or current edges.  Blackfin tuna bite has slowed quite a bit, but still a few being picked away at in 200-300' of water.  Live baits suspended 50-100' below the surface will be the best bet for the tuna.  Was fully expecting some good wahoo reports this week; but overall the wahoo fishing ended up very slow.  Hopefully the wahoo bite fires up headed into he weekend.  Kingfish bite along the 120' ledge has been a it hit or miss; with cold water still being an issue, and the kings moving around a decent amount.  Snapper fishing has been good this week.  Pretty solid pick on the yellowtail snapper in 80-90' of water, and a decent number of muttons mixed in as well.   

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing has been fair this week inshore.  The snook have largely started to push towards the inlets.  Best bite on the snook has been at night around docklights and bridges closer to the inlets.  Look for outgoing tide to produce the most action on the snook.  Other inshore action has been a bit slow.  A few scattered jacks cruising seawalls with a few tarpon mixed in as well.  Mangrove snapper continue to show up a bit better inshore.  Live shrimp and small pilchards will be the best bait choice for the snapper.  

SURF/PIER-  A little slower this week along the beach and at the pier.  Cooler water on the beach has the catch and release snook fishing slowed down just a bit.  The snook are still biting, just takes a little more work to get the bites.  Along the beach small pilchard imitating lures (Small swimming plugs, twitch baits, and small jigs) fished in the first trough parallel to the beach will be a great way to target the snook, especially during lowlight periods of the day.  Live croakers and sand perch are top bait choices for the snook.  The snook have been biting at the Juno Bech Pier best first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.  The Juno Beach Pier has also been producing a few bonita and the occasional kingfish.  Croaker and whiting bite has been very slow this week in the first trough.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: S 2 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers.

SAT THROUGH MON...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: SE 2 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers. A chance of showers through the day.

Sorry for the lack of fishing report last week; I was in Louisiana trying to find some tournament winning redfish.  Managed to pick out a few good ones, just couldn't find the right right ones.
