OFFSHORE-  Weather goes away from us a bit this weekend, but the fish will still be biting.  Expect a good little push of sailfish this weekend along the edge.  Dolphin fishing was good again this week and the east wind should help blow them in as well.  Look for both the sailfish and dolphin to bite very well in 150-250' of water.  Mixed in with the dolphin have been a decent number of Blackfin tuna, along with a handful of skipjacks as well.  Kingfish remain scattered along the 120' ledge in fair numbers.  Bottom fishing remains very good, with some very solid muttons being caught in about 100' of water.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains red hot this week.  The snook are keyed in on mullet, and they continue to feed like crazy.  Best bet for the snook is to fish lowlight periods of the day or at night.  Look for moving water (Primarily outgoing tide; but certain spots will work well on incoming) to further help improve your odds with the snook. Mixed in with the snook will no doubt be a handful of tarpon, big jacks, and even the occasional redfish or two.  

SURF/PIER-  Great action along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week. Early arrival of all the fall species (Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, Ladyfish, Bluefish, and others) kept rods bent pretty much all week at the pier.  Still a fair number of snook hanging around the pier as well; but that will begin to change as more and more bluefish begin to show up.  The mullet run is still in full swing; with tarpon and blacktop sharks being the main predators with them.  Should also be a good number of jacks, and still a few snook as well with them too.  Overall a great mixed bag of action...well worth giving it a shot if the weather allows.

FRIDAY...East northeast winds around 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Looks like we could see a very early season sailfish bite pop off this weekend.  Conditions look right for them to come up and pop some kite baits off the surface for sure.  Dolphin fishing slowed a bit this week, but still a fair number of them around.  Best bet for the dolphin had been out very deep, but that could change over the weekend.  Wahoo fishing was fair this week on the full moon.  No huge numbers to speak of, but a decent little handful were caught this week.  120-200' seemed to be the best depth for the wahoo.  Scattering of kingfish along the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing has been fair on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Good snook action inshore this week.  The finger mullet are starting to fill in inshore and the snook are taking full advantage!  Tarpon, jacks, and monster ladyfish are also taking advantage of the massive ongoing buffet line.  The finger mullet will tend to be most active very early in the morning or at night.  They will move with the tide so use that to your advantage! The snook are also biting dry well around the bridges at night; and at the spillways when they are running.  Swimbaits and Flair Hawk jigs remain your best bet for the snook.  Sure sign summer is slipping away...the toadies have been biting. Still a fair number of mangrove snapper around inshore these days.  

SURF/PIER-  Great action along the beach this week.  The mullet run is in full swing, and the snook and tarpon are around in great numbers with them!  As are the sharks, jacks, and a host of others.  A little north wind this week should further help get the mullet up to the north of us still headed this way.  A live mullet fished on the edge of the school or down under the school is a great way to separate your bait and get bites.  Also, don't overlook a fresh dead mullet on the outside edges of the school.  That can be an easy meal a big tarpon or snook just can't pass up.  If your into lures more than bait try fishing a Yo-Zuri Mag Darter or Rapala X-Rap.  Early morning and late afternoon should bring the most action.  A few pompano reports are starting to trickle in.  It's a little early for them, but don't be surprised to start hearing more and more about the pomps over the next few weeks.  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce a good snook bite, along with a nice number of Spanish Mackerel.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...North northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers likely in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Showers.

SATURDAY...Northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Showers likely in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Chance of showers.

SUNDAY...Northeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Another really nice looking forecast for the weekend!  Time to take advantage of these conditions...fall/winter conditions are just around the corner.  Dolphin fishing was good agin this week; with best reports continuing to come from out in the deep.  800-1200' of water seems to be a pretty good bet to look for the dolphin.  Bonita strips, squid, and small trolling feathers have been a great choice for covering water and locating the dolphin.  The moon is getting bigger this week (Full on Monday), so we would expect to start hearing some good wahoo reports.  A few have been caught this week in 150-300' of water.  Kingfish action remains pretty good along the 120' ledge.  Solid snapper bite again this week.  Some really nice muttons coming in again this week!  Sardines and bonita chunks will be top bait choices on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Good inshore fishing this week.  The finger mullet are showing up inshore, and the fish are close behind.  Snook fishing has been really good this week, and should only continue to improve.  Lots of snook in all the usual spots (Bridges, spillways, inlets, you name it...) so get out after them and fish to your strengths.  Jacks and tarpon are also around in good numbers with the finger mullet.  The finger mullet tend to be most active at night or during lowlight periods of the day.  When the sun is up and the boat traffic is heavy they tend to push down deeper.  Beat this problem by looking for canals and spots not on the beaten path (yes...it's getting harder and harder to find them I know!) 

SURF/PIER-  The mullet run has kicked off, and the fishing has really fired up this week.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, and a host of others are all taking advantage of the nearly endless food supply.  Look for the mullet to move and be most active first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.  Fish live mullet on the edge of the school or weighted below for best luck.  The Juno Beach Pier was good again this week; with a scattering of both Spanish and King Mackerel around.  Starting to hear a few pompano reports a little up to the north...won't be long now on them!!!

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...South winds around 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East winds around 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Intracoastal waters smooth. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...East northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Dolphin fishing improved this week; with some nice catches coming in 600-800' of water.  Trolling bonita strips and squid in productive looking areas produced a good number of fish, including a handful big enough to need a gaff for.  Running and gunning for debris and large weediness has also been a productive strategy this week.  Set up on good areas with some chum and live sardines and the dolphin shouldn't be far behind.  If they do show up; be sure to have a jig ready to send down a couple hundred feet to look for a lurking wahoo.  Speaking of wahoo, a fair number were caught along the 120' ledge last week.  Bonita strips and split tail mullet trolled down deep remains the best bet for the wahoo as of late.  Fair scattering of kingfish around, along with a few fall football size Blackfin tuna showing up.  Snapper fishing has been very good this week.  Best depth has bounced around a bit; but 90' from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet remains a good place to start.  Sardines and bonita chunks remain the best bet on the bottom.  A handful of really nice muttons around this week...just reel fast to get em past the sharks!!!

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  No real mullet schools to speak of yet, but the snook are lining up in all the usual spots like it is coming fairly soon!  The bridge bite continues to go off at night, especially on outgoing tide.  Flair Hawk jigs have been producing well, as have swimbaits (like NLBN or 6" SpoolTek Fatty).  During the day best bet for the snook has been fishing live mullet along seawalls and under boat docks.  First thing in the morning or just before the sun goes down a walk the dog topwater style lure (Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil or Top Knock) will also get some attention.  A few jacks mixed in with the snook, along with a tarpon or two.  Mangrove snapper bite remains pretty good inshore as well. 

SURF/PIER:  The Juno Beach Pier has been pretty good this week.  Snook fishing has been hot early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Free-lining pilchards, cigar minnows, and dork jacks has been producing a few slots pretty much every day.  Later in the day try fishing dead baits under the pier for good luck with the snook (It's important to remember snook, especially the big ones, are lazy and always looking for an easy meal to scoop off the bottom!) Spanish Mackerel have been in and out at the pier on a regular basis.  A small freeline live bait is good for them; as is a Clark Spoon on a bobber rig.  A handful of Kingfish have been taken off the end of the Pier this week on large swimming plugs (Size 14 Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Longcast minnow are great options).  No great mullet run reports in our immediate area; but it does sound like a few good schools are starting to show up to the north of us.  Reports from Ft Pierce and Jensen Beach make it sound like it is starting to happen.  A little north swell this weekend could definitely get them pushed in this direction! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...West northwest winds 5 to 10 knots becoming south southeast in the afternoon. Seas around 2 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...East northeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  A fair scattering of dolphin popped back up this week.  Best depth for them bounced around a bit; but 400-600' seemed to hold a pretty decent number of them for the most part.  Trolling bonita strips and squid remains a solid way to target the dolphin.  Pink skirts seem to really be the ticket for the most bites from the dolphin this week.  Mixed in with the dolphin have been a handful of Blackfin Tuna.  Keep a small trolling feather I the mix for the little tunas.  Wahoo fishing popped off this week ahead of the new moon.  Trolling planers with a big bonita strip or mullet seemed to be the best bet for the wahoo this week.  A Nomad DTX minnow was also getting bites from the wahoo this week.  Snapper fishing was good this week on the bottom.  Some very good mutton reports coming in.  Sardines (just the old stinky dead frozen variety) remain the top choice on the bottom for the snapper.  90-120' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet has been a good area to look for the snapper.  

INSHORE-  Snook season is back open and it's prime time to invite one home for dinner (or release em to fight another day like I often do!). Snook fishing remains good inshore, with the best action coming primarily at night.  Area bridges have been very good at night, especially on the outgoing tide.  Flair Hawk style jigs and No Live Bait Needed Swimbaits have been great choices for targeting slot size snook.  As a few trickles of finger mullet start to show the snook will begin to really key in on them.  Mangrove snapper action remains fair inshore as well.  Live shrimp and small live pilchards will be the best bait choice for the snapper.

SURF/PIER-  Snook fishing will unsurprisingly gain the most attention along the beach and at the pier this weekend.  Overall, snook fishing has been very strong.  Jupiter Inlet has still been holding a fair number of fish.  The Juno Beach Pier has also had a good number of slot size fish around.  Best bite for both the Pier and Jupiter Inlet has been first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.   The surf has been producing a fair number of snook as well.  Small white jigs, small soft plastic paddle tails, and smaller swimming plugs remain great bait choices along the beach.   The Juno Beach Pier has also been producing quite a few bonita.  A longer distance casting lure (Diamond jig or GT Ice Cream) has been the ticket for the bonita.  The mangrove snapper bite remains very good at the pier as well.  Best bet for the snapper is to target them very first thing in the morning.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southwest winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers in the morning. Chance of thunderstorms. Showers likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...West southwest winds 5 to 10 knots becoming south southwest in the afternoon. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...South winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
