OFFSHORE-  Rough weather has kept offshore reports a bit slow since last weekend.  Those managing to get out have found a decent number of dolphin around.  300-600' of water seems to be working best for the dolphin; though east winds in the forecast should help keep them pushed in shallower.  The backside of the full moon has been producing a decent number of wahoo.  120-250' of water has been the best bet early and late in the day.  When the sun is up higher look for 200-300' of water to work best for the wahoo.  A few blackfin reports, including some good size ones, are mixed in with the wahoo.  Bottom fishing reports have been a bit slow due to less than ideal conditions. 

INSHORE-  The finger mullet have found their way inshore in good numbers over the past week...Snook, tarpon, ladyfish, and jacks are all close behind!  The best time to fish mullet schools tends to be very early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and at night.  Fishing live mullet on the outside edge of a school or underneath is a great way to help get a bite.  Throwing a live mullet blindly into the middle of a school is just playing the mullet lottery.  Lure wise a loud noisy topwater, Yo-Zuri Mag Darter, or Rapala X-Rap are all good choices.  Snook fishing has been pretty good at night this week around the bridges.  Flair Hawks, bigger swimbaits, and larger swimming plugs (Rapala X-Rap or Bomber Windcheater) have all been working well.  With dirtier water this week, both incoming and outgoing tide have been working well.  

SURF/PIER- The last few days have seen A LOT of pompano show up along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Most of the pompano have been shorts (not uncommon for the first push of fish), with a few legal fish mixed in.  Sandfleas and FishBites have been working well for the pomps.  From the Juno Beach Pier the pompano have also been biting Doc's Goofy Jigs decently.  In addition to the pomps, the Juno Beach Pier has had a good number of Spanish Mackerel around.    Early season bluefish have started to mix in as well.  Snook action has slowed this week at the pier, but still some in the mix.  Mullet run action slowed over the past week due to the swell and dirty water.  Reports still have a decent number of mullet up to the north of us; more on the way!  Tarpon have been in with the scattering of pods that have come down the beach this week.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 15 to 20 kt, diminishing to 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: SE 3 ft at 5 seconds and NW 1 foot at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A chance of showers and tstms.

Little guy had a big appetite...smashed a Mag Dafter about half his size that Morgan was fishing around mullet schools the other night.

OFFSHORE-  Looks like a rough one this weekend offshore!  Everyone was hoping for a strong wahoo bite this weekend on the full moon.  While the wahoo will likely bite this weekend the weather is going to make you earn it!  Nice looking conditions for an early season sailfish bite; it is possible that they could really go off over the next few days.  Dolphin fishing has been very slow; though conditions are lining up for a good push of fish to come through as well over the next few days.   

INSHORE-  The finger mullet have shown up inshore in good numbers over the past few days.  A host of predators have been close behind the mullet.  Snook, jacks, tarpon, ladyfish, and maybe a redfish or two are the most likely to be mixed in with the finger mullet.  The finger mullet will be the most active early and late in the day or at night.  Look for the most action to occur around bridges, boat docks, and other ambush points.  Rough swell offshore could help push some snapper inshore this weekend.  In fringe fishing news...the toadies are biting inshore.  

SURF/PIER-   Mullet run action has been very good this week, with a lot of big tarpon around.  Snook have still been in the mullet schools, though some early season bluefish could chase them out pretty quickly.  Conditions could make fishing from the beach tough this weekend; but north winds will no doubt have more mullet on the way!  The Juno Beach Pier has been active this week with a good number of blue runners and Spanish Mackerel around; with a few early season pompano in the mix as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft, occasionally to 11 ft. Wave Detail: N 8 ft at 10 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SAT...N winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 5 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: NE 8 ft at 11 seconds and NW 3 ft at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers until late afternoon.

Our west coast IG friend @thatthatkid2 has one of the best traveled Juno Bait hats around...Sick week of fishing for him this week!

OFFSHORE-  Wahoo bite has been picking back up, and the building moon should keep them biting over the weekend.  Pulling the planer with a sea-witch and bonita strip remains a solid choice for the wahoo.  150-300' of water is the best depth for the wahoo.  Generally speaking the wahoo are going to feed a little shallower (120-150') early in the morning, and then slide out to 200-300' as the sun gets up.  Dolphin action has been very scattered this week, but a few fish have been caught in 400-600' of water.  Blackfin tuna have been biting in 200-300' of water.  Kingfish have been scattered along the 120' ledge.  Bottom fishing reports picked back up this week, with some good mutton snappers being caught in 90' of water.  Sardines have been the bait of choice.   

INSHORE-  Finger mullet have started to show up inshore.  Not huge numbers yet, but after a few days of wind this week it should be very good headed into the weekend.  Inshore the mullet will show up best very early in the morning.  As the sun gets up and the boat traffic begins the mullet start to move deeper.  The finger mullet will have the snook and tarpon stacking up for an easy meal.  Snook fishing remains good around the bridges at night.  Flair Hawks and bigger swimbaits have been the play for the snook.  Outgoing tide seems to be working best for the snook, although the mullet will also come in on the incoming tide and it can really go off.   

SURF/PIER- First decent number of mullet started to show up along the beach this week, with tarpon and snook close behind.  The mullet, predators as well, will be the most active first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.  Typically as the sun gets up the schools thin out, as do the predators.  Fish early and late for the best results.  A live mullet fished on the edge of the school is a good way to target the tarpon.  Snook respond well to a live mullet fished under the school on a knocker rig.  Yo-Zuri Mag Darter and Yo-Zuri LC Minnow are great lure choices for fishing around the mullet.  The Juno Beach Pier has been active this week.  Snook fishing remains good on the pier.  Good number of blue runners, Spanish mackerel, and even a few pompano around the pier this week.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: N 3 ft at 7 seconds and E 1 foot at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers and tstms. .

SAT...SE winds around 5 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: N 2 ft at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth. Showers likely with a chance of tstms.

SUN...SW winds around 5 kt. Seas around 2 ft in the morning, then 1 foot or less. Wave Detail: N 1 foot at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth. A chance of tstms in the morning. Showers. Tstms likely in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE-  A bit slower again this week offshore report wise (Not uncommon this time of year).  Those making it out did find a few dolphin in 300-500' of water.  The wahoo have still been around, and the new moon should keep them biting through the weekend.  Best depth for the wahoo will remain 150-300', with some fish being caught both to the north and south.  Typically speaking as we move later into the season the wahoo always gets better to the south.  No change on the wahoo tactics; all the normal methods are gong to do the trick.  Did hear an uptick in kingfish reports this week along the 120' ledge, with a few nicer kings in the mix as well.  Best bite on the kingfish will be early morning and then again late in the afternoon.  Bottom fishing reports did pick up a bit this week.  A handful of snapper reports coming in; though nothing crazy red hot.  Sardines and squid remain the bait of choice for bottom fishing.  

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing remains a bit tough this week, though it continues to show signs of opening up soon.  Snook fishing has been fair, though the snook seem to be waiting for the mullet to show up just like everyone else.  When a few mullet do come cruising through the snook have been responding well!  Early morning. late afternoon, and especially at night remain the most productive times to target the snook.  Try and time that with an outgoing tide for the best results.  The masses of finger mullet can't be too far away.  When the mullet show up the snook, tarpon, jacks, and even possible redfish will go crazy...just need those mullet to show up!   Mangrove snapper fishing remains pretty good inshore.  Best luck on the snapper will come at night, with small pilchards and live shrimp remains top bait choices.  Snapper like a little moving water so try to fish a tide change if possible.  

SURF/PIER-  The mullet run rumors are getting louder and louder this week.  While the bulk of the fish still seem to be a decent ways up the coast (Melbourne seems to be where a large mass of the fish are), smaller pods are beginning to trickle through from Hobe Sound to Jupiter.  Another weekend of SE wind is not going to get them moving towards us in a hurry; but the flip side is when they do show up (assuming the weather holds), the mullet will not just fly down the coast.  For fishing the mullet run a live mullet fished on the outside edges or under the school is always a top choice.  For lures a Yo-Zuri Mag Darter, Rapala X-Rap, or  NLBN 8" Straight Tail are always solid choices.  Since the mullet have not showed up in full force, we are still hanging onto some summertime bait.  The pilchards are still on the beach and around the pier in good numbers.  Snook fishing has ben fair at the pier, with the fish biting nicely on Wednesday with a small swell rolling through.  A large number of blue runners and a small scattering of Spanish Mackerel have kept the pier busy as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 4 seconds and N 1 foot at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers and tstms.

SAT...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: SE 2 ft at 4 seconds and N 1 foot at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers likely with a chance of tstms.

Lots of new additions to our online store(www.junobaitshop.com)...
Be sure to check them out! 

OFFSHORE-  Offshore reports this week were largely based around wahoo again.  Though it wasn't the numbers of fish caught last week ahead of the full moon; the backside of the moon still saw a pretty fair numbers of wahoo coming over the gunnels.  Pulling the planer with a sea-witch/bonita strip combo remains a very effective way to go.  We have some beautiful ready to go rigged strips in-stock from Sea-Spook Baits that make it very easy!  Also in-stock is the Belly Dancer Pre-Rigged Strip/Witch combo that works very well behind the planer.  Pulling a Nomad DTX is also a simple easy way to target the wahoo.  Live baits (check the pic below of a nice one caught last weekend on a live sardine) will also work well for the wahoo, it just becomes a matter of drift depth and getting the baits past the bonita.  Speaking of bonita, they have started to thin out a bit along the 120' ledge, a sign we are ever so slowly moving into late summer/early fall patterns.  Dolphin reports were slim this week, with just a few random fish seeming to pop up.  Sailfish bite seems to be fair.  No big numbers like a few weeks ago, but those targeting them do seem to be seeing at least a fish or two a trip.  No bottom fishing reports to speak of this week.  Not sure if it just hasn't been good or nobody has been.    


INSHORE-  Inshore fishing has been a bit slow this week.  The water has been a bit funky inshore, and hopefully that will flush itself out soon.  Snook season has opened on the slower side, with most reports coming in that it is a grind!  The bridges have had a few fish at night, but overall they have been rather uncooperative.  The Loxahatchee River has been producing a few fish early in the morning and on the tide changes.  Love mullet is. a good way to go for the snook in the river right now.  Speaking of mullet (and mentioned in the surf section as well), no big schools moving through yet.  A few small scattered schools seem to be filtering in; but from the looks of things we are still a week or two away from seeing any big numbers.  Of course that could change at any point, and we always try and update the report if they show up on us unexpected.  A few mangrove snapper around still for those grinding it out on the bridges at night.  Live shrimp and pilchards remain top bait choices for the snapper.      

SURF/PIER-  The water along the beach has been a funky green color (and from the looks of it likely on the cold side) the past few days leading to overall tough fishing.  On the positive side the seaweed, for the most part, has not been as bad this week.  While a few small pods of mullet have been spotted, the mass of fish are still well to the north of us.  South winds and calm seas are likely not going to rush in any big numbers of mullet  this weekend if I had to guess...though you never know!  Guessing when the mullet show up is always a challenge, but as it stands now it seems that we are likely a week or two away.   The Juno Beach Pier has also been a bit slower this week.  The live bait (Mostly small pilchards, scattered small thread fins, and a scattering of small goggle eyes and dork jacks) has still been around the pier, with blue runners and scattered mackerel making up a bulk of the action.  The snook have been around, but the bite overall has been tough.  Best bite on the snook is first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon.

Ryan Miller (IG @ryanmitchellmiller) sent us this great pic of Hawkin and Miks with beautiful wahoo caught last Sunday on the deep side of the ledge.  Drifting a live sardine on triple hooks and 30lb fluoro was just the ticket to get this one in the boat!  

OFFSHORE-  The wahoo bite has been excellent this week, and conditions look good for that to continue headed into the weekend.  The full moon is Friday, the seaweed has not been bad, and the wind is light...should be a lot of wahoo coming over the gunnels this weekend.  While pulling the planer with a sea-witch and bonita strip has been the top producer; plenty of wahoo are being caught on swimming plugs (Nomad DTX or Rapala X-Rap), high speed lures, and live baits as well.  Early and late in the day look for the wahoo to be around the 120' ledge.  As the sun gets up higher they will tend to slide out a little deeper (250-350').  Dolphin fishing remained fair this week, with fish scattered from 350-1000' of water.  Not a huge number of dolphin around, but a handful big enough to need a gaff for sure.   A few really nice Blackfin Tuna have been around in 200-300' of water as well.  No pattern to the tuna to speak of; with most of them being a bonus bycatch.  The sailfish bite slowed down this week, with a few still popping up.  Bottom fishing reports were slow this week.     

INSHORE-  A bit quiet on the inshore side of things.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good (Only a few days now until season opens).  A bulk of the fish remain in the inlets, though a few are breaking off and pushing back into the river.  Palm Beach County has not seen a lot of mullet yet, though rumors of some fair numbers showing up in Martin County are trickling in.  This is generally about the last moon that the snook spawn on; so expect them to be very hungry over the next few weeks!  As the mullet show up the fishing will no doubt fire off.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, and others will be close behind the mullet schools.  The snook fishing now has been best on outgoing tide, especially at spots closer to the inlets.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains a bit slow; with the Juno Beach Pier only being slightly better.  Catch and release snook fishing has been fair at the pier, with the best action coming on live baits.  Flatlining pilchards on the edge of the bait schools has been working well for the snook.  Good numbers of blue runners around the pier, with a few scattered mackerel mixed in.  Sandperch have been biting pieces of fresh shrimp in the first trough.  Small hooks and light leads are the way to go for the perch and occasional croaker.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas less than 2 ft or less. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SAT...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft in the morning, then 1 foot or less. Wave Detail: E 1 foot at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of tstms. Showers likely until late afternoon, then a chance of showers late.

"The Producer" Team had one of those days you dream about last week during the Chasen Tailz KDW Tournament: Catching this beautiful 60 plus pound wahoo and releasing 12 sailfish.  

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action has been really good the last few days, with a number of boats getting double digit chances.  The sailfish bite has been good from Palm Beach to Jupiter in 150-250' of water.  Live baits under the kite and a deep bait or two is the way to go for the sailfish.  Goggle eyes and blue runners are a solid choice for the sails.  A handful of nice blackfin tuna have been mixed in with the sailfish.  Dolphin fishing seemed to pick back up a bit this week with a handful of reports coming in.  No hot spot on the dolphin with depth ranges seeming to bounce all around.  Wahoo reports slowed a touch; but the reports on them should improve this weekend as the moon gets bigger.  Bottom fishing has been fair this week.     

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet inshore these days.  The snook have been the most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and then especially at night.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up under boat docks, mangrove edges, and seawalls with current on them.  At night look for the snook to be around bridges and under docklights.  Warm water has the snook's metabolism fired up ready to eat.  Fish moving water (the top of the outgoing tends to be the best) for the best luck on the snook.  Flairhawk jigs and bigger swimbaits are great lure choices for the snook.  Snapper fishing has been fair, with the best action coming at night.  Small pilchards and shrimp will be the way to go for the snapper. 

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing remains a bit slow, though we are starting to get glimpses of things breaking open.  A few early season mullet pods have been reported up to the north (Sebastian/Vero); shouldn't be long till we start to see some early season mullet showing up.  Snook fishing remains fair along the beach, especially early in the morning and late afternoon.  The snook will be in cruising the trough looking for croakers and sand perch, so cast parallel to the beach in the first trough.  The Juno Beach Pier has been active, with a handful of species around.  A good number of blue runners and small mackerel have been around.  Snook fishing has been good at the pier, with the morning and late afternoon being the best.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:

 Clients of Captain Trey (www.topwaterchartersjupiter.com) with a nice on!

OFFSHORE-  A bit slow this week, with limited reports coming in from offshore.  Still been a decent number of wahoo being caught in 150-250' of water.  Early morning and late afternoon have been the most productive for the wahoo.  Pulling the planer with a sea-witch and bonita strip combo has been a great way to target the wahoo.  A diving plug (Nomad DTX or similar) is also an easy way to get a lure down a bit for the wahoo.  Dolphin fishing slowed again this week.  Kingfish remain scattered along the 120' ledge, with it being a bit of a slow pick on them.  Snapper fishing has been fair, with some good reports coming in. 90-100' of water seems to be working well for the snapper this week, with sardines being the bait of choice.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains fair inshore, especially near the inlets.  The snook have been biting better at night, with a few popping off early in the morning as well.  As always fish a moving tide (depending on the spot incoming and outgoing will work) for best luck with the snook.  Mangrove snapper fishing has been fair inshore.  Best luck with the snapper will come at night, with the top of the outgoing tide generally being tops.  Live shrimp and small pilchards are great bait choices for the snapper.  Sandperch have been biting small pieces of fresh shrimp in the ICW.  

SURF/PIER-  A bit slow this week along the beach, with the Juno Beach Pier remaining more productive.  The Juno Beach Pier has been fair for catch and release snook fishing, with the morning and late afternoon being the best.  A few kingfish and bonita continue to cruise past the end of the pier, with a Rapala X-Rap being the top lure choice.  Blue runners and a scattering of smaller Spanish and Cero Mackerel have also been bending rods at the pier.  Croaker and sandperch have been biting in the first trough on small pieces of shrimp.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas less than 2 ft or less. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A slight chance of showers and tstms late this morning.

Something new from Belly Dancer!!!

OFFSHORE-  Wahoo fishing was absolutely on fire last weekend; and has remained good through the first part of the week.  Expect a slowdown on the wahoo as the moon shrinks down; but this time of year they will remain a possibility.  A bonita strip with a sea-witch pulled behind a planer is a solid way to target the wahoo.  Sailfish action has been great from just north of the Juno Beach Pier up to the Loran Tower in 200-300' of water.  Standard sailfish tactics will play, but don't be afraid to fish a bait or two down deep (especially in calm conditions).  Dolphin fishing slowed this week, with a few scattered fish way offshore.  A handful of big kingfish were caught along the 120' ledge this week.  Snapper fishing has been pretty good in 70-90' of water this week.  

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing remains a bit tough, with almost all of the better action coming at night.  Mangrove snapper action did seem to tick up just a bit this week.  The top of the outgoing tide (again primarily at night) has been working the best for the mangroves.  Live shrimp and small pilchards seem to be the go to baits for the snapper.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good.  The snook are hungry right now; and will readily bite bigger lures and baits.  A few very early season mullet have pushed through and the snook are definitely keyed in on them.  

SURF/PIER- Surf fishing remains a bit slow; although a small push of summertime pompano did get a few surf rods back down on the beach.  East winds in the forecast could trigger a little bite on the pompano again this weekend.  The Juno Beach Pier has been decent this week, with a little mix of species around.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good on the pier, especially first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Live baits are the best bet for the snook, but those looking for a bigger challenge will get a few bites with a small properly presented swimbait.  A fair number of cero mackerel have been around the pilchard schools, with a good number of blue runners around as well.  Sanperch and a few croakers have been coming in late in the afternoon.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: E 3 ft at 5 seconds and NW 1 foot at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers and tstms in the morning, then showers and tstms likely early in the afternoon. A chance of showers and tstms late.

Morning routine kind of things for @countyline_charters

OFFSHORE-  Fishing was relatively quiet offshore this week; with a fair amount of time being dedicated to lobster mini season in place of fishing.  Dolphin fishing slowed this week, with a handful of fish being caught out deep (Over 1000').  Wahoo fishing remains good on the backside of the full moon.  Wahoo bite has been best first thing in the morning; with the biggest factor being a section of water not choked with seaweed.  Find an area in 150-250' clear enough to pull the baits for more than a few minutes  and a wahoo bite is likely.  Early in the week the kingfish were biting at night on the full moon; though that bite slowed as the week went on.  Bottom fishing has been good this week.  The current on the drop has been ripping; so focus on 70-90' of water for the best results.  Sardines and squid are the way to go on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains the main game in town on the inshore side of things.  The snook bite was not great this week, but those putting in the time have been catching a few.  The best numbers of snook will be around the inlets; with the top of the outgoing tide being prime time to target them.  Inshore mangrove snapper fishing remains fair, with the best action coming at night around the bridges.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp are top bait choices for the mangroves.  

SURF/PIER-  Fishing has been a bit slow this week along the beach.  Catch and release snook fishing will be the best bet, with the best action coming early in the morning.  The Juno Beach Pier has been a bit spotty this week; with a few days of fair action and other days very slow.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good at the pier, especially early and late.  A few kingfish have been cruising by the end of the pier late in the afternoon, with a Rapala X-Rap the top lure choice to throw at them.  Pretty good number son blue runners around as well.  Sandperch and a few croakers have been showing up in the trough late in the afternoon, with pieces of fresh shrimp a top bait choice for them.
