OFFSHORE:  Good dolphin reports this week for those that made it out.  Key to the dolphin this week has been finding them on scattered debris.  While some of the dolphin have been on weediness and floating clumps of grass; the best dolphin action has been on floating debris.  Small live baits are good for the dolphin, as are chunks of squid and sardines.  First little front of the season should have the sailfish fired up this weekend.  Look for the sails to be in 120-250' of water.  Hard to beat the stretch of water from Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet for day in day out consistent sailfish action.  Live goggle eyes and small blue runners will be the bait of choice for the sailfish.  Bottom fishing remains very good in 60-90' of water with great action on the grouper and snapper.  Sardines remain the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  Still trickles of mullet around and the snook are feeding well on them; but are also keying in on smaller baits and shrimp as well.  Basically leaving the bait/lure options pretty much wide open for the snook.  Flair hawks are still producing, but the shrimp jig is coming on strong as well.  A soft plastic shrimp tail fished on a heavy jighead is a deadly choice right now!  Look for the bridges to produce at night on an outgoing tide.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up along seawalls and under boat docks.  Other inshore action should really start to get better with the change in weather.  The Hobe Sound Flats and Munyon Island flats should both really start to come alive in the near future.

SURF/PIER:  The surf fishing really kicked into high gear this week.  The fall/winter species got the memo that they were supposed to show up...and they did!  Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel., jacks, and ladyfish have all been around in good numbers this week.  The Juno Beach Pier has been hot, with lots of good action.  All the usual lures (spoons, jigs, gotchas, etc..) are working for the bluefish, as is cut mullet or sardines.  A few pompano are being caught on Goofy Jigs, sand fleas, and clams.  The pompano fishing should improve even more this week with the first cooler weather of the season.  Lots of good stuff going on along the beach...give it a shot if you can!

OFFSHORE:  Another week of pretty brutal weather has kept fishing reports slim; and the forecast for the weekend isn't looking any better (See below).  Summertime fishing patterns are leaving us, and wintertime ones are slowly creeping in.  Sailfish are starting to show and some boats flying the kites are starting to get some chances.  Won't be for the faint of heart, but those trying it this weekend will most likely have some chances at the sailfish.  Dolphin have been scattered, but strong east winds should help push them inshore.  Bottom fishing remains really good from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet.  Been good numbers of big yellowtail snapper, some mutton snapper, and still good numbers of grouper(mostly reds) around.  

INSHORE:  Good snook fishing continues to dominate the inshore scene.  Best action remains at night around the bridges on flair hawk jigs, swim baits, and shrimp jigs.  The snook can also be found along seawalls and under boat docks during the day.  A live mullet is the bait of choice for the snook during the day.  Some jacks, tarpon, and big ladyfish still mixed in with the snook.  Other inshore action has been a bit spotty.  Still hearing of good numbers of mullet up the coast, so not done on the mullet run just yet!

SURF/PIER:  Still looking for the water to clear up some, but the fish seem to be adapting to the less than ideal water.  Pompano have started to bite around the Juno Beach Pier on clams and Doc's Goofy Jigs.  Most of the pompano are undersize, but a few keepers are mixed in.  Bluefish have begun to show up, and are willing to bite a silver spoon or cut bait pretty quickly.  Still some redfish hanging around the Juno Beach Pier.  The Inlets have had a good number of jacks in them.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet along the coast and 4 to 6 feet with occasional to 8 feet in the Gulf Stream. Period 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

SATURDAY...East winds around 20 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas to 9 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...East southeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Less than ideal weather conditions have kept the offshore reports to a minimum this week, but it looks like a fairly fishable forecast for the weekend coming up.   Should be some dolphin around.  Look for the dolphin to be in a bit closer with the east wind in the forecast.  Kingfish should remain scattered along the 120' ledge.  Bottom fishing remains the best bet offshore with good numbers of both snapper and some grouper around.  Sardines, finger mullet, and squid all remain good baits for the bottom.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore.  The mullet run seems to be tapering down, but the snook are around in good numbers.  Flair Hawk Jigs, big swim baits, and shrimp jigs have all been good lure choices for the snook as of late.  The big ladyfish, jacks, and few tarpon are also pushing around inshore as well.  

SURF/PIER:  Tough conditions and dirty water have made surf fishing tough for the most part.  Scattering of bluefish and mackerel have been around.  Also some reports of small pompano starting to come in.  A few redfish have been caught at Jupiter Inlet.  The jacks have been around Palm Beach Inlet in fair numbers.  Should be much better with a little cleaner water.

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Scattered showers with isolated thunderstorms.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to east 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE:  Overall another slow week on the fishing reports offshore.  The forecast though at the moment looks pretty promising; and this weekend could provide some good fishing chances.  Dolphin fishing turned out to be pretty good last weekend, and conditions look right for that to be a possibility again this weekend.  Kingfish were also scattered along the 120' ledge in good numbers last weekend.  Bottom fishing remains very good as well with lots of snapper and still a fair number of grouper around.  Live finger mullet are the hot ticket bait wise offshore right now on the bottom.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now.  The mullet run is tapering off, but the snook are still around and they are hungry.  Look for the best snook bite to go down at night around the bridges.  Live mullet or mullet imitating lures are going to be the way to go.  Outgoing tide has been producing the best; with fish biting on the incoming tide as well though.  Still a few tarpon and jacks hanging around with the snook as well.  

SURF/PIER:  Conditions have been basically un-fishable this week with the weather and very dirty water.  Looks like conditions should improve this weekend.  If the water clears up some and calms down it should be a very fishy weekend along the beach.  A few bluefish are already around.  Some redfish n the mix as well still.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Period 9 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...South southeast winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to south southeast 10 to 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.
