OFFSHORE:  Not a bad looking forecast for the upcoming weekend.  Look for some nice dolphin to be caught in 200-400' of water wit the east/northeast wind.  Trolling the usual assortment of trolling baits and lures should produce some dolphin bites, as will live baits flown from the kite.  Mixed in with the dolphin have been some nice blackfin tuna, as well as a few wahoo.  A small tuna feather deserves a spot in the trolling spread for sure.  The kingfish remain scattered along the 120' ledge from the Juno Beach Pier up past Jupiter Inlet.  Snapper fishing remains strong with a nice assortment of snapper around.  Sardines and squid are top bait choices for the bottom right now.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing inshore continues to fire off pretty good right now.  Look for the schools of finger mullet and the snook won't be too far behind.  Mixed in with the snook should be a few small (and maybe some big) tarpon.  A live finger mullet fished on the outside edge of the school or underneath is a good bet; as is a loud noisy topwater.  The mullet will be moving around a little more at night, so don't be afraid to go looking for them after the sun goes down.  Try and isolate (or present lures to) your baits to the outside edges and underneath the bait schools for the best luck.     If fishing at night isn't your deal, look for the low light periods of the day to be the best bet.    

SURF/PIER:  A bit of a slower week on the beach, but the pods of mullet are still rolling through form day to day.  One day maybe loaded up with the mullet, and the next a bit of a ghost town.  The tarpon are still with the mullet, as are a growing number of sharks and bluefish.  The snook are thinning out on the beach, but a few do still remain in the mix.  As mentioned above in the inshore report, try to present your bait or lures to the outside edge of the bait schools or underneath for the most luck.  Spanish mackerel action has increased over the past week, with a few being caught pretty much daily from the pier.  Pompano, mostly small, are biting a little early and late in the day on sand fleas and fishbites.

OFFSHORE:  The offshore bite hasn't been red hot, but action is consistent enough to make it worth going.  Dolphin fishing has been fair, with the bulk of the fish not requiring a super long run offshore; instead look for the dolphin in 200-400' of water.  Trolling a assorted spread of ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid is a good way to target the dolphin.  Keep a small feather or two in the mix for the blackfin tuna that are hanging around.  The blackfin will be in the same depth range of 200-300' of water.  Small tuna feathers, bonita strips, and small metal jet heads are all good choices for the tuna right now.  The tuna will be most active early in the morning and then again late in the day.  A few wahoo have been hanging around the blackfin; though generally speaking the September full moon was a little lackluster on the hoo's.  Kingfish remain scattered along the ledge.  Snapper fishing remains pretty good in 60-890' of water, with sardines remaining the bait of choice. 
​
INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains hot inshore, with lots of fish following the mullet schools.  Lowlight periods or nighttime has been the best for the snook.  Live mullet is the top bait choice right now, while larger mullet like lures and swim baits are the way to go for artificial lures.  The bridges are holding a lot of snook at night, with the outgoing tide being the best.  The small juvenile tarpon are following the finger mullet schools as are some big jacks.  Look for the bait schools...the predators surely aren't going to be far behind.  

SURF/PIER:  The mullet run continues in full effect, with lots lots of predators in tow.  The tarpon and sharks are putting on a good show, while some big snook are not far behind either.  Jacks, bluefish, spanish mackerel, and others are also in the mix with the mullet.  A few pompano are starting to be caught along the beach.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a mixed bag of spanish mackerel, snook, jacks, and even a few nice kingfish.  Forecast looks like we may see a little swell this weekend, and that could really help fire up the fishing.

OFFSHORE:  The offshore fishing hasn't been on fire, but those putting the time in are finding a nice little mixed bag of action.  The full moon is coming and that has many hoping that the wahoo will fire up.  Hasn't really happened this week, but don't be surprised to hear of some wahoo being picked at this weekend.  No dolphin reports to speak of, but some south southeast winds could change that this weekend.  Sailfish action has been fair this week, with a decent number being caught (or at least seen) in 150-200' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to north of Jupiter Inlet.  Live goggle eye, small blue runner, and small/medium silver mullet are dynamite bait choices for the sails right now.  The bonita are thinning out a bit, but are still around if your looking for some light tackle fun or future trolling strips.  Mixed in with the bonita have been a fair number of blackfin tuna, including a few good size ones.  Snapper fishing has been fair, with a few good muttons being picked at.  Sounds like the bottom bite has been pretty good out of Jupiter Inlet, while Palm Beach has been a little hit or miss.  

INSHORE:  The mullet run has begun to find its way inshore.  The snook, tarpon, jacks, and even a few redfish are not far behind the schools of finger mullet flowing in with the tide.  A live finger mullet fished on the edge of the school is the best bet right now, but mullet like lures will work well for predators gorging themselves on easy meals right now.  Snook fishing remains good aside from the mullet run.  The bridges continue to produce some snook boîtes, mainly on outgoing tide.  Other inshore action has been spotty.  best bet right now is to look for the schools of mullet...the fish won't be far behind.

SURF/PIER:  Nothing like the mullet run for some all out great fishing (and if you can't get bites...at least your in for a good show!).  The snook, tarpon, jacks, sharks, bluefish, and host of others are following the mullet down the beach right now...gorging themselves on easy meals.  A live mullet fished on the outside edge of the school or under the school is a good way to get bit when dealing with a million mullet.  A large noisy topwater or large silver spoon is also a good lure choice when fishing the mullet run.  Try not to get stuck down in one particular spot when fishing the mullet run, but instead go light and be prepared to follow the mullet down the beach.  Lots of good stuff going on...get out and go catch em!

OFFSHORE:  Rough weather reports this week have kept reports to a minimum, but the weekend forecast isn't looking too bad at this point.  The moon is getting bigger and with it should hopefully come a nice bite from the wahoo.     This is the time of year the bonita thin out and the small blackfin tuna show up in decent numbers in 200-300' of water.  The wahoo will begin to key in on the tasty little blackfin tuna, so keep that in mind when looking for them.  A split tail or horse mullet behind a trolling sinker or planer is a good way to go for the wahoo.  No strong reports on dolphin, but conditions look good to hopefully get a little push of fish coming through.  Scattered kingfish inside the 120' ledge.  Mixed reports on the snapper.

INSHORE:  The finger mullet are starting to trickle through, and the inshore fishing is firing up with their arrival.  Snook fishing has been good the past week, and should only improve as more mullet push through.  The bridges are holding fish at night on outgoing tide, while the Loxahatchee River and ICW have their fair share of fish along seawalls and tucked under boat docks.  In addition to the snook, the mullet are also attracting a good number of jacks, some tarpon, and even a few redfish.  Find the pods of bait and the fish won't be fair behind.

SURF/PIER:  Rough surf slowed the fishing down, but as it subsides look for very good fishing to fire up in the near future.  The mullet are showing along the beach and the snook, tarpon, jacks, sharks, bluefish, and host of others are tagging along.  The early pods of mullet are a great place to target snook that have switched their mindset from spawning to gorging themselves with easy meals.  The Juno Beach Pier has had good action on spanish mackerel, small jacks, snook, tarpon, and even a few kingfish.  It's a little early but even a few pompano reports are starting to trickle in.  Lots of good stuff going on right now...well worth giving it a shot if you can!

OFFSHORE:  Weather this week has kept most people at the dock, but the holiday weekend forecast is looking pretty good at time of writing.  Looks like it could shape up to be a very dolphin filled weekend.  The storm passing south of us could help push some debris up the gulfstream, and hopefully some dolphin riding with it.  Look for the dolphin in 300-600' of water, and possibly deeper if that stretch of water is barren of signs of life.  Trolling ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid should be effective, as will drifting and chumming.  Either way, be sure to keep an eye out for fishy looking areas including; weed lines, debris, current rips, color changes, and large areas of baitfish.  Blackfin tuna are biting in 200-300' of water as well, so keep some small trolling feathers or daisy chains in the spread for those tastily little guys.  Wahoo should still be in the 150-300' range.  May not be red hot wahoo fishing, but should be enough around to make dragging the lures around worth while.  Split tail mullet and horse ballyhoo are also a good choice for the wahoo.  Kingfish are scattered along the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing is still very good, with some nice mutton and yellowtail snapper around.

INSHORE:  Snook season is back open, and it's game on right now.  Plenty of snook around for those looking to try and catch one in the slot.  The snok will be around area bridges at night, and tucked up against seawalls and under boat docks during the day.  Starting to see a few trickles of finger mullet coming in, and that is what the snook will be cued in on right now.  Keep that in mind when picking out your lures, and be sure to have a X-Rap or Vudu Mullet tied on.  Should be a few tarpon mixed in with the snook, and most likely some bruiser jacks.  Still some mangrove snapper biting inshore around the bridges as well.

SURF/PIER:  Fishing along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier remains good with a good amount of assorted action.  Snook season is open and the snook are still along the beach and at the Pier in good numbers.  Low light periods of the day will be the best time to target them, especially for those hoping to catch them on lures.  Rapala X-Raps, Yo-Zuri Minnows, and silver spoons are all good choices to throw in the surf early in the morning and then again later in the afternoon.  The Juno Beach Pier has seen good action on the snook, a few kingfish, good numbers of spanish mackerel, and lots of jacks.  The blacktop sharks are along the beach, as are a fair number of tarpon.  Even been a handful of pompano floating around.  Lots of good stuff going on if you get a chance to go...you should!
