OFFSHORE:  Calm conditions seem to have slowed the sailfish down a bit, but still a decent handful around.  Look for the sailfish to be largely in 150-300’ of water from Palm Beach up to Jupiter Inlet.  When the sailfishing gets tough its hard to beat the stretch of water between the Juno Beach Pier and Jupiter Inlet in 150-225’ of water.  Live goggle eyes will remain the baits of choice for the sails.  In calm conditions be sure to keep a bait down deep, the sails will often times slide down below the surface for cooler more oxygen filled water.  Dolphin fishing remains fair in 200-400’ of water in roughly the same area.  Trolling small ballyhoo, Bonita strips, and squid is a good bet for the dolphin.  Hasn’t been huge schools of dolphin around, but the overall size quality has been pretty good.  Scattered cobia have been hanging around in 150’ of water, as have a few wahoo.  Some big scattered kingfish were caught in 100’ of water just north of the Juno Beach Pier.  Bottom fishing remains very good, with some nice snapper and grouper catches continuing to come in. 

INSHORE:  The sheepshead and black drum have pushed inside in pretty good numbers around area bridges and seawalls.  Live shrimp, or fresh cut pieces of shrimp, will be the best overall producing bait for the sheepshead and drum.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good around area bridges at night. Been a fair number of jacks cruising along the ICW seawalls at first light and late in the afternoon. The Hobe Sound flats are starting to come to life as well with a variety of species showing up. 

SURF/PIER:  Lots and lots of bluefish around this week.  Lowlight periods have been best for bluefish, with loud noisy topwaters being a great bait choice.  Cut mullet is also working well for the blues.  Spanish Mackerel action has been red hot in Peck’s Lake.  The macks have also been scattered up and down the beach, but not in the same numbers as Peck’s.  Pompano reports remain scattered at best.  Lots of little sharks around at night that are very willing to bite cutbait.
