OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action remains good offshore; though some days are definitely better than others.  Wind, ocean conditions, and current (which obviously are all tied together) will dictate the action.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners under the kite will no doubt be the best way to go for the sails.  Expect a few dolphin, including some bigger ones, to be mixed in with the sails.  Best depth remains the 120-200' range depending on conditions.  Trolling small ballyhoo, Bonita strips, and squid is a good way to target the dolphin.  No need to go super deep, but just outside the sailfish zone (say 200-350') is a good depth to target the dolphin.   The wahoo bite has been good n the backside of the full moon.   Black/Purple Sea-Witch and bonita strip is a great way to go for targeting the wahoo.  A Nomad DTX minnow is also a good lure choice for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing reports have been a bit slow, no doubt due to the less than ideal conditions.  Same report for the most part on the golden tiles.  Just need some little better conditions and the bite should improve.   

INSHORE-  A handful of pompano reports continue to come in from the Loxahatchee River and north ICW: Although the better reports continue to come from the Sailfish Flats in Stuart.  A 3/8oz bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig continues to be the top lure choice for the pompano.  Sandfleas, shrimp, and FishBites are the baits of choice for the pomps.  Expect a good number of small jacks in the same areas as the pomps.  Sheepshead action remains good inshore, with a few black drum in the mix as well.  Live shrimp is a top bait choice for the sheepshead.  Bridges and boat docks with some good barnacle growth is the place to start looking for the sheepshead.  The Sheepshead are also showing up in good number in Palm Beach Inlet as well.  Catch and release snook action slowed this week, though those putting in the time have found a few.   

SURF/PIER-  Last weekend saw some of the best Spanish Mackerel action of the season on the Juno Beach Pier, with Macs flying over the rail nearly all day Saturday and most of Sunday. Not surprisingly a white crappie jigs (JYG Pro 1/8-3/16oz especially!) was the top lure of choice for the Spanish.  A Got-cha plug, small X-Rap, diamond jig, or bobber rig with clark spoon will also work for the Macs.  As quickly as the Spanish showed up though they disappeared; with reports early in the week being slim Including slim reports at Peck's Lake).  A fair scattering of bluefish mixed in with the mackerel, though still not huge numbers.  Pompano fishing also fired off last weekend, with really good numbers coming from the beach on Sunday and Monday.  Sandfleas, FishBites, and the ever elusive FishGum have been the top bait choices for the pompano.  Like the mackerel though, the pompano thinned right out as the week went on with less than ideal water showing up along Jupiter/Juno Beach.  As cleaner water comes back in the fish shouldn't be far behind.     

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action has heated up over the past week, with action remaining good today. The West Palm Beach Fishing Club's annual "Silver Sailfish Derby" kicked off today, with fifty teams releasing 184 sailfish.  Haven't heard yet on where the best bite was today; but with numbers like that the sailfish action was likely good up and down the line.  The Derby is primarily a live bait tournament; so no doubt most of the sailfish today came on live baits under the kite.  Dolphin have been mixed in with the sailfish in good numbers this week as well.  Not huge schools of dolphin, but the average size has been good.  The wahoo bite has been good over the past week as well.  Trolling a sea-witch and bonita strip combo behind the planer has been a top choice for the wahoo.  Blackfin Tuna action remains good off of St. Lucie Inlet.  Bottom fishing reports have been fair, with some good yellowtail snapper reports coming in.  

INSHORE-  Inshore reports have picked up a bit this week with a drop in water temps.  Plenty of jacks and ladyfish around inshore, with a handful of pompano mixed in as well.  The Pompano fishing has been very good inshore in Stuart over the past week.  Bright colored Doc's Goofy Jigs have been the lure of choice for the pomps inshore.  Sheepshead reports have picked up inshore, with some good catches coming in over the past week.  Live shrimp is the bait of choice for the sheepshead and occasional black drum as well.  Snook fishing has been a little tougher with the cooler weather; but still some to be caught for those putting the time in.   

SURF/PIER-  A scattering of pompano reports over the past week.  The pomps seem to be biting a little better along the beach; but the Juno Beach Pier has been producing a few  as well.  Best bite on the pomps seems to be first thing in the morning, with a little flurry art sunset as well.  Sandfleas, fresh shrimp pieces, and FishBites have been the top bait choices for the pompano.  A decent number of jacks have cruised by the Juno Beach Pier this week.  No monster jacks, but a good number of ten pounders cruising by.  A small  scattering of Spanish Mackerel along the beach locally; with much better numbers up towards Peck's Lake.  Bluefish seemed to show up in better numbers this week as well.    

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY  E winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming SE 10 to 15 kt in the  afternoon. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft. Wave Detail: N  4 ft at 8 seconds and NE 4 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters a  moderate chop.

SATURDAY  SW winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to  6 ft. Wave Detail: S 4 ft at 5 seconds and NE 3 ft at 10 seconds.  Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

​Fisher out doing South Florida wintertime things on the side of I-75.  The Nomad Madscad AT in his left hand is a peacock killer!!!

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish bite has been hot over the past few days, with multiple boats having catching five or more.  The bite has bounced around a bit area and depth wise; but Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet day in day out is producing bites.  Depth has moved around from 90-200' depending on current, water color, and bait.  A decent number of dolphin mixed in with the sailfish.  Live baits under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish and dolphin.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid will also work for the dolphin, and fool the occasional sailfish as well.  Some good wahoo reports over the past week as well.  A large bonita strip with a Sea-Witch is a solid choice for the wahoo.  A handful of blackfin tuna this week as well.  Bottom fishing reports have been mixed this week, with a handful of snapper around.  

INSHORE-  Cooler water temps have the pompano biting a little better inshore this week.  The Sailfish flats in Stuart continue to produce the pomps.  The Loxahatchee River and ICW are also both starting to produce some pompano.  Bait (Sandfleas and shrimp) and Doc's Goofy Jigs are both getting some bites.  Jacks and ladyfish will be in the same areas that the pompano are hanging out in.  Catch and release snook fishing remains fair.  Cooler water temps slow the snook down; so it takes a little more work to get the bites out of them now.  Sheepshead action has improved in the ICW, with shrimp being a solid choice for them.  Looks like we have some big cold fronts coming; which should really get the sheepshead fired up.  

SURF/PIER-  A decent scattering of pompano around this week.  Early morning and late afternoon will be the best time for the pomps.  The usual bait assortment of sand fleas, clams, and FishBites should do the trick for the pompano.  On the Juno Beach Pier or from the boat a bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig will also work well for the pompano.  Expect the usual assortment of jacks, blue runners, and ladyfish to be mixed in with the pomps.  Spanish Mackerel action has been good along the beach.  The Macs aren't holding in any one area in particular; but instead have bounced back and forth depending on conditions.  Bluefish have been scattered around, but no huge numbers.  Blacktop sharks have been around in good numbers.  Croaker and whiting have been biting well in the first trough.  

​NOAA MARINE FORECAST:
FRI...N winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming NW 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 3 ft at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SAT AND SAT NIGHT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft, occasionally to 9 ft. Wave Detail: N 7 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

Spencer and Ryan (IG @Spencer_14 and @Ryan_morie) had an epic trip to end  2024...that Fish Rub hat  (coming back in-stock soon!) was obviously lucky!

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action has been good offshore over the past week. Bigger live baits (Goggle Eyes and Blue Runners) under the kite, and smaller live baits (Threads, Pilchards, or Sardines) on the flatlines is standard operating procedure for the sails.  150-250' will be the best depth range for the sailfish; with a mix of dolphin, kingfish, blackfin tuna, and occasional wahoo in the mix as well.  Trolling small ballyhoo will also work well.  Good north current, blue/green color changes, large areas or bait, and current rips are all good signs to look for.  Dolphin bite has been good as well this week.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid is a good choice for the dolphin.  Don't expect large schools of dolphin, but the average size overall has been pretty good.  Bottom fishing reports have been a bit on the slower side, with a handful of snapper reports coming in.          

INSHORE-  The usual wintertime species have started to fill in well inshore.  Lots of jacks (mostly on the smaller side) have filled into the Loxahatchee River and ICW.  Live shrimp, small bucktail jigs, and small swimming plugs are a great way to go for them.  A good number of ladyfish mixed in with the jacks.  The pompano have been mixed in as well with the jacks and ladyfish.  3/8oz Doc's Goofy Jigs are a great way to target all of them.  Green, pink, and orange jigs have all been working well.  Catch and release snook fishing slowed a bit this week, but still decent for those putting the time in on them.  The snook at night around the bridges have definitely started to key in heavily on live shrimp.  The top of the outgoing tide has been the best bet for them.   

SURF/PIER-  Nice mixed bag action along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week.  Pompano bite is not on fire; but those putting in some time have been picking away at them.  On the beach the pomps are biting sandfleas and FishBites.  At the Juno Beach Pier it has been a mixture of bait and Doc's Goofy Jigs producing pompano bites.  Strong Spanish Mackerel bite at the Juno Beach Pier; with white crappie jigs being the top lure choice.  A mixture of jacks, blue runners, and ladyfish around as well.  Croakers and whiting action has been decent in the first trough.  Small pieces of fresh shrimp will be the best bait for them.  No bluefish reports to speak of.  Blacktip sharks have been around in good numbers.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 10 to 15 kt, increasing to 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NE 3 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers.

SAT AND SAT NIGHT...SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: N 4 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

​Daniel with a surprise catch fishing w/ Captain Eric of Countyline Charters on a Christmas Fishing Trip

OFFSHORE- Nice looking sailfish conditions headed into the weekend; especially on Saturday.  Bigger live baits (goggle eyes and blue runners) under the kites, and threadfins on the flats will be the way to go for the sailfish.  Best depth will likely be in the 130-225' range depending on water conditions.  Should be some bigger dolphin mixed in with the sailfish, and don't be surprised to see some wahoo around on the backside of the full moon.  Should be some kings in the mix as well. Look for most of the action to be in that same 120-300' range: This time of year most of the action will be in that depth range.  Blackfin reports remain good up to the north.  Live baits fished mid water column or a high speed vertical  jig ripped up from the bottom is a great way to go for the tunas. Bottom fishing reports have been on the slower side; no doubt due to the weather.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing has been fair inshore this week.  The snook have been in the Loxahatchee River during the day, and around the bridges at night.  In both cases try to fish moving water (can be incoming or outgoing tide) for best results.  Snook are lazy and don't want to work too hard for a meal; instead they prefer to use the current to wash meals to them.  As the water continues to cool off shrimp become a better and better option for the snook.  Sheepshead have started to show up in little better numbers; and they should continue to improve in numbers as the water cools.  Live shrimp and sand fleas will be top bait choices for the sheepshead.   

SURF/PIER-  A handful of pompano reports this week, with a few fish scattered along the beach and a few coming over the rails at the Juno Beach Pier.  Sandfleas and FishBites have been the baits of choice for the pomps.  Bright colored Doc's Goofy Jigs are the lure of choice for the pompano.  A few scattered Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish around the Juno Beach Pier as well.  White crappie jigs are the lure of choice for the Macs.  The bluefish will bite a diamond jig, spoon, or swimming plug.  The sharks have been found in solid numbers.  Fresh chunks of bait are the can't miss way to go for the sharks.  A fair number of croaker and whiting in the first trough on pieces of shrimp.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NW winds 5 to 10 kt, increasing to 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 3 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SAT...N winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SAT NIGHT THROUGH SUN NIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 7 seconds and NE 3 ft at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

Winter time just hits different in South Florida...County Line Charter customers know how to deal with the cold!  

OFFSHORE-  Fishing has been fairly decent offshore this week: Unfortunately it looks like the weather is going to keep everybody at the dock headed into the weekend.  Sailfish action has been good; with most boats getting at least a few chances and double digit chances not out of the question.  Live baits (Goggle Eyes or small Blue Runners) under the kite are the way to go for the sails.  Best depth on the sails has bounced around; with 150-250' generally being a pretty safe bet.  A handful of dolphin mixed in with the sailfish in the same depth.  Blackfin tuna action has been good as well, especially up to the north.  Bottom fishing reports have been a bit slow, with a handful of mutton snapper being caught.    

INSHORE-  Only a few days left before snook season closes for the winter.  Snook fishing has been decent this week; however cooler weather will no doubt slow the bite down.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up on dark mud bottom.  At night the snook are on the bridges; and are quickly switching to a largely shrimp based diet.  Outgoing tide tends to be the best bet for the snook.  The snook have also been hanging around docklights, along with scattered tarpon as well as.  Sheepshead action has started to improve inshore.  Live shrimp is a solid choice for the sheepshead.  Bridges and boat dock pilings with heavy barnacle growth is a great place to look for the sheepshead.    

SURF/PIER-  A little slower fishing along the beach this week.  A few scattered pompano around, but no big catches.  Spanish Mackerel action has started to get good in Peck's Lake (though it will be. washout this weekend).  Jacks have been cruising the beach in decent numbers.  Most of the jacks have been on the smaller side; with a few bigger ones in the mix.  Blacktip sharks have been around in good numbers.  A fresh chunk of bait won't go unnoticed long by a passing shark.  Has been a fair number of croaker around as well.     

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt. Seas 5 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: NE 8 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters rough in exposed areas.

SAT THROUGH SUN...NE winds 25 to 30 kt. Seas 7 to 10 ft, occasionally to 13 ft. Wave Detail: E 9 ft at 7 seconds and NW 3 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters very rough in exposed areas. A chance of showers.

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action remains good offshore. Live baits (goggle eyes and blue runners) under the kite are the best bet for the sails.  Best depth has bounced around depending on water conditions; with 120-175' being a good general depth to start the hunt.  Not as many dolphin reports this week; with mainly a few bigger dolphin coming in the same depth as the sailfish.  Blackfin tuna reports have been good in 200-300' of water.   Bottom fishing was a bit slower this week.  Conditions overall were not the most ideal offshore this week.  If reports improve as the week goes on we will try to update the report.    
​
INSHORE-  Snook fishing slowed a bit this week with the cooler weather, but still a fair number around. The shrimp jig bite has picked up with the cooler weather, especially around the bridges at night.  As the air and water temp fall the snook's metabolism naturally slows down, which makes smaller baits and slower presentations a key.  Still a week and a half left before the season closes(12/15); so be sure to get after them now if you're looking to bring a snook home for the holidays.  Sheepshead action has improved over the past week, with a few black drum in the mix as well.  The jacks have been in Palm Beach Inlet in big numbers.     

SURF/PIER-  A little slower this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Pompano action did seem to improve a little as the water cleaned up.  Fishbites and sand fleas are the bait of choice for the pompano.   A scattering of bluefish and Spanish Mackerel  around.  The jacks, including some good size ones, have been cruising the beach in decent numbers. Croaker and whiting have been biting in the first trough on small pieces of fresh shrimp.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NW winds 5 to 10 kt, increasing to 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 3 ft at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

FRI NIGHT THROUGH MON...SE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 6 seconds and E 3 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

We teamed up with JYG Pro Fishing on this awesome Instagram raffle...check out the post on our IG page for more details. 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday.  Somehow the fishing report slipped my mind (I never even thought about it once yesterday!!!) with everything going on.  

OFFSHORE-  Still a scattering of dolphin offshore, with most of them coming in 200-400' of water.  It remains smaller packs of fish for the most part. with a bigger fish or two in the mix.  If your targeting dolphin specifically try trolling smaller baits (bonita strips and squid or a small trolling lure like a Ballyhood All-Star).  Sailfish action continues to improve in 120-200' of water.  Live baits under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish, but don't be too surprised when a nice dolphin comes up and takes a shot at that expensive goggle eye intended for a sailfish.  Blackfin tuna remain mixed in with the sailfish and dolphin in good numbers.  Wahoo action slowed down a lot this week, but still a decent number caught.  Snapper fishing was fair this week, with the usual assortment of yellowtails, mutton, and occasional mangrove in 60-120' of water.  Current wa s a touch slower as well so some vermilion came up in 180-300' of water as well.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  Still a fair number of mullet hanging around keeping the snook fired up on bigger baits.  The Loxahatchee River continues to produce a few good ones during the day, while the bridges are the way to go at night.  The bridge bite remains a mixture of big and small baits; with flair hawks and swimbaits producing, as well as smaller shrimp jigs.  The jacks have been in Palm Beach Inlet in good numbers this week.  A lot of small to medium jacks, with a few bruisers in the mix as well.  The sheepshead and black drum are starting to bite better up north (Stuart/Jensen), with a few showing up locally as well.  

SURF/PIER-  Despite nice conditions most of the week; fishing was a little slower along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week.  Pompano bit good early n the week for a day or two, and then slowed down drastically.  Still; most people putting in the time on the beach have been catching a pompano or two (Reel them in quick...the sharks are showing back up in bigger numbers!). Spanish Mackerel have been around in decent numbers.  Small flashy metal jigs, Clark Spoons, and Flash Minnows have been good lure choices for the Mackerel.  A good numbers of jacks (Mostly 2-5 pounders) along the beach; with a few scattered bluefish as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
TODAY...W winds around 5 kt. Seas less than 2 ft or less, then around 2 ft in the afternoon. Wave Detail: NW 1 foot at 2 seconds, becoming NW 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth.

SAT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft. Wave Detail: N 6 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers.

Capt Jeff of Ten X charters and his brother Luke with a little Pre-Thanksgiving Tuna Run!

OFFSHORE- Fishing was very good offshore this week, with a variety of reports coming in.  Dolphin reports have been good in 200-500' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a great way to go for the dolphin.  The dolphin for the most part have been in small packs and out roaming.  Finding current rips, floating debris, or large areas of flying fish will increase your odds on the dolphin.  Sailfish action improved this week in 120-250' of water.  Live goggle eyes or blue runners (which both are in very short supply right now) under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish.  Good numbers of sails released this week, with a couple of boats seeing double digits.  Wahoo fishing was absolutely insane early in the week.  Just about everyone pulling a planer and bonita strip or Nomad DTX minnow had a wahoo bite, with a lot of boats getting multiple shots.  Early morning, late afternoon, and tide changes will be the best bet for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing has been good this week.  A nice amount of yellowtail snapper being caught, with a few muttons in the mix as well.  A mixture of porgies, grunts, and other assorted species in the mix as well on the bottom.       

INSHORE- Snook fishing was very good inshore this week ahead of the front.  Still a decent number of medium size mullet around, and the snook have been all over them.  Docks and seawalls with some current on them will be the best spot to look for snook during the day.  At night the snook have been around the bridges in good numbers.  The top of the outgoing tide seems to be working best for the snook.  Medium sized swimbaits and shrimp jigs have been working well for the snook around the bridge.  Sheepshead and black drum are biting a little better this week with cooler water.  Live shrimp is a solid bait choice for both of them.  A few tarpon moving around in Palm Beach Inlet, along with a few big jacks.  Cooler water should start to improve the fishing around Munyan Island and Hobe Sound/Jupiter Island flats.   

SURF/PIER-  Fishing improved along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier early in the week; before tapering off a bit at time of writing.  Pompano reports picked cup a bit, with a few more showing up along the beach.  It hasn't been limits, but catching 2 or 3 pomps was not out of the question this week.  Early morning has been the best bet for the pompano.  Spanish Mackerel action was good at the Juno Beach Pier early in the week.  Crappie jigs, small Rapala X-Raps, and small metal flash jigs have all been solid lure choices for the Macs.  A few bluefish around this week, but no big numbers.  The jacks, mostly smaller, have been around in big numbers.  A decent number of croakers and whiting around.  Small pieces of fresh shrimp is the best bait for them.  The blacktip sharks have been around in decent numbers.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NW winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft, occasionally to 9 ft. Wave Detail: N 7 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SAT...NW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

​Sick catch from Kieran (IG @ kidder1003) fishing with Captain Eric of Countyline Charters
(www.countylinecharters.com) in the Loxahatchee River this week.  

OFFSHORE-  Some good fishing reports offshore this week (amazing what a little weather window will do!).  Dolphin fishing was good in 200-500' of water.  Most of the dolphin were 5-10lbs, with a handful of bigger fish in the mix.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains the best bet for the dolphin.  Sailfish action has been good in 150-250' of water.  Live baits under the kite are by far the best bet for the sailfish.  A live bait under the kite will also work on a passing dolphin.  Wahoo fishing has been very good this week on the moon.  A seawitch and bonita strip behind the planer is a solid choice for the wahoo.  A Nomad DTX minnow is also a solid choice for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing bite was good as well.  A mixture of yellowtail, mutton, and mangrove snapper around.  

INSHORE-  A little bit slower inshore this week.  Snook fishing remains fair, but it is slowing down a bit.  The full moon definitely has the snook feeding better at night.  Bridges with a defined shadow line and docklights will be the best bet for the snook.  With the water still being a bit off colored both incoming/outgoing tides will produce; the water just needs to be moving.  Still been a decent bite on the jig and bigger swimbaits; but the shrimp jig is really starting to produce as well.  Starting to see a few more sheepshead show up inshore, along with a small scattering of black drum.  The drum and sheepshead reports have been a little better to the north of us (Stuart/Jensen).  A handful of scattered jacks (including some big ones) cruising ICW seawalls this week.  Best action on the jacks will be early morning and late afternoon.  A loud noisy topwater or NLBN Lil' Mullet is hard to beat for the jacks.     

SURF/PIER-  Weather and sea conditions improved a bit this week, and so did the fishing.  Pompano action picked up along Juno/Jupiter Beach.  It wasn't huge numbers, but those spending some time on the beach got a handful of bites from the pompano.  Sandfleas and Fishbites have been the bait of choice for the pomps.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a good Spanish Mackerel bite, along with a good number of smaller jacks.  Small swimming plugs and diamond jigs have been a solid lure choice for the mackerel and jacks.  Croaker/whiting bite has been good on small pieces of fresh shrimp.  Conditions look good for the bluefish to bite this weekend.  A loud noisy popper, GT Ice Cream, or Silver spoon is a solid lure choice for the bluefish.  Lots of blacktop sharks along the beach.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...W winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming N 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NW 4 ft at 6 seconds and NE 3 ft at 11 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers in the afternoon. .
