OFFSHORE: Weather this week has once again kept offshore reports to a minimum. Dolphin fishing should be good with a nice southeast wind in the forecast. Look for the dolphin to be in 200-400' of water. Smaller ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid are all good trolling bait choices for the dolphin right now. Mixed in with the dolphin should be some decent size blackfin tuna. Small trolling feathers and small daisy chains are great lure choices for the blackfin tuna. The kingfish are biting well along the 120' ledge , especially late in the afternnoon. Live sardines are the bait of choice for the kings, while a frozen sardine on a knocker rig is a close second. Still a few cobia hanging around in the same areas as the kingfish. Snapper reports were a bit slow this week.
INSHORE: Good snook fishing this week at the Spillways thanks to the relentless rain. DOA TerrorEyz and Hogy Paddletails have been hot lure choices at the Spillway. The snook are also moving around area bridges at night in pretty good numbers as well. Flair Hawks and bigger swimbaits remain the top lure choices for the snook right now. Look for outgoing tide to produce the best action on the snook. Still some big jacks cruising around in the ICW, along with a stray tarpon or two. Mangrove snapper action has slowly started to improve inshore. Small live pilchards and live shrimp are top bait choices for the snapper right now.
SURF/PIER: Snook fishing remains pretty good around the Juno Beach Pier and both Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets. Last weekend of the season to invite one home for dinner. The snook are biting best early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Still a few pompano hanging around for those putting the time in. Croaker and whiting are biting in the first trough. Some spanish mackerel have been hanging around Jupiter Inlet. The Juno Beach Pier has been seeing some big jacks, bonita, and a few kingfish.
