Looking like a pretty nice weekend coming up.  Maybe a few scattered thunderstorms to deal with, and hopefully just enough of a south/southeast breeze to help get some fish fired up!

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing should improve this weekend if the weather forecast holds true.  Prevailing light west winds have most of the dolphin beyond way offshore; so a little southeast wind should help get some dolphin pushed back in a little closer.  The better dolphin action will still be offshore(out past 400'), but at least the dolphin shouldn't be over thirty miles offshore.  Kingfish have started to show back up with the building moon.  Looks like the usual August kingfish school is trying to start stacking up off of Jupiter along the 120' ledge.  Wahoo action was scattered this week, with a few being brought in.  Expect the wahoo fishing to really improve as the August moon starts to get bigger and bigger.  Dragging Yo-Zuri Bonitas, Split Tail Mullet, and horse ballyhoo down deep are the most productive ways to get a wahoo bite.  Fish between 100-300' for the best chance at a wahoo, and be prepared to deal with some bonita bites.  Lots of sharks and bonita hanging out on the 120' ledge, with a few scattered cobia still hanging around the sharks.  Snapper fishing was not red hot this week, but those spending the time on the reef did pick away at a few.  The snapper saw a lot of divers this week during lobster mini-season so they may still be a little skittish, but action should improve on them as the weekend goes on. 

INSHORE- Mangrove snapper fishing around area bridges has remained fair.  Small live pilchards, live shrimp, or small chunks of sardines are a good choice for the mangroves.  Keep leaders light and terminal tackle to a minimum to avoid spooking the snapper.  Catch and release snook fishing has remained good, and a few more tarpon are showing up inshore to keep things interesting.  It' still a little early; but a few trickles of finger mullet are showing up.  Won't be too terribly long before the big schools of mullet will be showing up inshore.  Some ladyfish have been showing up at night around the bridges to feed on the small pilchards as well.

SURF/PIER- Lots of bait along the beach, and predators are not far behind.  Lots of snook cruising the trough right now.  Get out early and late for best action on the snook.  Work parrallel to the shore, and don't be surprised to find snook in just a foot or two of water.  Lots of snook in Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets right now.  Mangrove snapper have been being caught at Jupiter Inlet, with the best luck coming at night.  

Beat the heat, get out and fish early and late!  If you have to be out in the heat of the day; stay cool, drink lots of fluids, wear your lucky Juno Bait Hat, #trustthebum(wear your Sun Bum sunscreen...now available at Juno Bait for sale), and CATCH some Fish!!!

Good Luck,
Todd

OFFSHORE- Fishing in general has been spotty offshore.  Dolphin are around; but just where is anybodies guess right now!  If your looking for dolphin best bet is going to be a trip way offshore.  Look for working birds, rips, weed lines, or floating debris to find dolphin.  The 120' ledge is full of fish right now; just not the most desirable of species.  Bonita, sharks, and blue runners are around in big numbers from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlets in 100-150' of water.  Mixed in with the less desirable species will no doubt be a few wahoo.  Snapper fishing was a little off this week with so-so water quality in 60-80' of water.  As soon as the water cleans up and the current starts rolling back north the snapper should start biting pretty good.

INSHORE- Catch and release snook fishing is still very good inshore right now.  Lots of big fish around the bridges for those spending time throwing flair hawks and swim baits.  Mangrove snapper are around the bridges that are holding small pilchards.  Fish at night for the best luck on the snapper.  Other inshore action is again spotty at best.  Fish early, late, or at night to beat the heat and find the fish most active.

SURF/PIER- Lots of snook cruising the beach right now.  Look for the snook moving north or south in the first trough.  Don't be surprised to see a 20lb snook cruising in just a few inches of water.  The Juno Beach Fishing Pier is finally holding a fair amount of baitfish.  With the bait schools should be some blue runners, jacks, bonita, and a few spanish mackerel.  Lots of snook hanging around the pier right now as well.

Enjoy the nice weather and get out and find some fish this weekend everyone!

Beautiful looking weekend coming up...GO FISH!

Great looking ocean forecast, and decent weather coming up for the weekend.  May have to deal with a few scattered showers or thunderstorms, but other wise a nice weekend ahead.  Here's what happened over the week fishing wise, and our best guess at what to expect this weekend!

OFFSHORE-  The full moon is on Sunday, and the wahoo should be around in fair numbers.  No big numbers of wahoo reported this week, but that should change for sure over the next few days.  The usual tricks, and spots,should work for the wahoo.  From Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet the 120' ledge out to about 300' of water will be the areas to concentrate on.  High speed trolling, trolling with planers or downriggers, or deep live baiting all can produce wahoo bites around the summer full moons.  Early morning or late afternoon tend to be the best times for wahoo, with a few scattered fish biting throughout the day.  Wahoo tend to travel in small schools, or packs, so be sure to mark where the bite came from and give that area a little extra attention.  Dolphin fishing slowed this week, but didn't grind to a complete halt.  The dolphin remain scattered, and the best way to get them remains running till you find something.  Best reports this week were all very deep, with 1200-1400' of water off Palm Beach being a fairly common theme. It's about time for the blacken tuna to start showing up in better numbers.  Troll small lures and feathers (typically in 200-300') for best luck with the blackfin.   Snapper fishing was a little tougher this week as the water was cold on the bottom, but the cold water did help fire up a few summertime cobia along the reef.  Bonita are still happily destroying live and trolling baits along the 120' ledge.

INSHORE-  Despite the warm water the flats around Munyon Island saws little surge of fish this week with some snook, big jacks, mangrove snapper, and even a few big trout being caught.  Live shrimp, Vudu Shrimp, or DOA Shrimp have been producing the best results.  Fish early morning or late afternoon for best results on the flats in the summertime.  Snook, and a few tarpon, are hanging around the bridges at night.  With all the rain the spillways are open occasionally, and producing a few snook.  Mangrove snapper are showing up inshore pretty good.  Best bait for the inshore snapper is going to be live shrimp or small live fresh pilchards.  

SURF/PIER-  Lots of good catch and releases nook action going on in the Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets right now.  Live bait (croaker, mullet, sardines, thread fin, pinfish, etc...) is the ticket for the snook.  Typically speaking if you catch the bait, your going to get the snook bites!  The Juno Beach Fishing Pier is still producing some nice snook.  Early morning should also produce a chance or two at the tarpon from the pier.  With some small pilchards showing up at the Pier and Jupiter Inlet the mangrove snapper fishing is improving. 

 Capt. Eric (http://www.freighttrainfishing.com) is on the snook really good right now, give him a call about a trip if you need some help catching that monster snook you've been looking for!

We will try and keep you updated this weekend with any hot reports or changers!
Thanks for reading and GOOD LUCK!

Happy July 4th to all of our great customers.  Be sure to send us your fish pictures this weekend, to be entered in the "July 4th All American Invitational Photo Tournament"!

OFFSHORE-  The weather forecast is looking pretty nice for the holiday weekend ahead.  Maybe a little bumpy on Friday, and then very nice for Saturday and Sunday.  Dolphin bite was good again, especially early in the week. Most of the dolphin have been three to ten pound schools, with a few gaffers in the mix.  Best action on the dolphin has been out deep; with the better size fish coming from depths of 1000' plus.  Scattered reports of very scattered wahoo are trickling in; and should continue to improve as the full moon approaches.  A few kingfish around the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing remains good; with catches of yellowtail, mangrove, and buttons all being reported.  Fresh sardines, frozen sardines, and squid are all good bait choices for the snapper.

INSHORE- Snook remain the main game in town right now inshore.  Lots of snook around the bridges at night.  Flair hawks and swim baits are great choices for the snook right now (especially the bigger snook).  Mangrove snapper are being caught around area bridges as well at night, with small pilchards being the bait of choice.  A few tarpon, mostly little guys, hanging out in the Loxahatchee River right now.

Surf/PIer-  Catch and release snook fishing is very good right now along the beach and inlets.  Early morning, late afternoon, and night are the best time to throw lures for snook.  During the day it's going to be easier to get the snook on live bait.  Tarpon are cruising the beach north of Jupiter Inlet, as are a few permit.  

Enjoy your Independence Day Weekend Everyone!
Good Luck and Be Safe,
Todd
