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.
