Memorial Day Weekend Fishing Outlook (5/22-5/25/15)

Read Now
 
OFFSHORE- Anglers spending time out deep found a fair number of dolphin this week.  No hot depth to speak of, just a fair pick off of floating debris, weed lines, and around offshore current rips.  Trolling small naked ballyhoo, squid, bonita strips, and small jet head lures are all good choices for the dolphin right now.  Also out deep have been a fair scattering of blue marlin, with a few caught over the past few weeks.  It's by no means a sure bet that you'll see a marlin offshore right now, but don't be surprised if a blue one suddenly crashes your dolphin party or happens to show itself in your trolling spread (Just hope he doesn't eat your dink ballyhoo on the TLD15 filled with 20lb!).  The 120' ledge from Palm Beach Inlet to Jupiter Inlet is producing a lot of action this week.  Early in the morning and late in the afternoon the kingfish have been fired up good, with fair numbers from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet being caught on live baits.  During the brighter parts of the day look for the bonita to be the most active, and the other fish suspended down a little deeper.  Still seeing a few cobia mixed in with the kingfish, though now the best thing to have for catching a cone is a little luck on your side!  Snapper fishing was good again this week, and a few grouper have been around as well.  Fresh sardines (A live sardine with his tail cut off is like a snapper snickers bar!) fished on a slide rig will give you the best chance at a nice mutton or grouper, while a chicken rig or small tipped yellow jig is a good choice for yellowtail.

INSHORE- Snook season is winding down, and the snook are big time on the way to the inlets right now!  For those looking to take a late season snook home try fishing the inlets with live baits during the day (sardines, croakers, pinfish and mullet are all good choices) or throw jigs around the jetties at night.  The bridges are still holding some fish, but the bulk of the fish are at or close to the inlet.  (Treehugger moment-the big female snook are already fat and ready to spawn, be careful with those big overslot girls....they are the future of our snook population!)  Mixed bag action(sheepshead, mangrove snapper, sand perch, etc) inshore is good, especially early in the morning, late in the day, and at night.  Try fishing pieces of fresh dead shrimp for best shot at catching a bucket of fish.

SURF/PIER- The snook are holding along the beach, at the Juno Beach Pier, and around the Inlets in good numbers now.  Live bait will be there best bet for the snook during the day, but a dead sardine will often get the nod if the bait is this or the fish are feeling very lazy.  A few tarpon have started to show along the beach, and will continue over the next month as they push on towards the north.  Tough to get the tarpon from the beach, as they a lot of times will be moving out of casting range; but they can be caught from a boat and sometimes the pier.  A handful of pompano are still being caught, with the best catches coming from north of Jupiter Inlet.  Croakers and some big ocean sand perch are being caught in the first trough on pieces of fresh shrimp.  Big jacks are also cruising the beach, and somewhat willing to crush a topwater plug in lowlight conditions.

SHOP UPDATE- Only a little over a week left in our current location...Big "Memorial Day Moving Sale" this weekend!  20% off any purchase over $100...just be sure to tell us something to the effect of "this is my way of helping you move!"  Next weekend (5/30 and 5/31) is moving weekend...your all welcome to come help move some tackle up the road!  We will be open through the 31st in our current location, but by Sunday afternoon most of the inventory will be moved out.  The new building is coming along nicely, but as of now we do not have an exact reopening date.  Hoping for somewhere around June 4th or 5th, but that is not finalized yet.  Shop phone number will stay the same (561-694-2797), so please be sure to call us with any questions!

Good Luck This Holiday Weekend!
Thanks For Reading,
Todd
