OFFSHORE-   Summertime offshore fishing is really taking shape for us in northern Palm Beach County.   Dolphin fishing has not been spectacular, but a few fish are being caught.  For the dolphin it's a matter of going out and finding them.  No hot depth, with dolphin reports coming from 300-1500' of water.  Trolling ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a solid choice for the dolphin.  Best action has been in 120-250' of water for a variety of species including kingfish, blackfin tuna, bonita, a few wahoo, and others.  Drifting sardines (which are in extremely short supply right now)  is your best bet along the edge right now.  Kingfish action remains very very good overall up and down the line.  Snapper fishing has been fair in 60-90' of water over the past week.  Sardines, threadfins, and squid will all be good bait choices along the bottom.  With the looks of the forecast and the West Palm Beach Fishing Club KDW  tournament going on this weekend it's gonna be a busy weekend offshore...good luck out there! 

INSHORE-  Tough fishing for the most part inshore right now.  Snook fishing will be the best bet right now on the inshore side of things.  Remember snook season closes June 1st, so just catch and release fishing coming up here for a few months.  Look for the snook to be most active at night around bridges and docklights.  Mangrove snapper action has began to improve on the inshore side of things.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp will be the best bet for the mangrove snapper.

SURF/PIER-  The summer doldrums have not fully set in along the beach just yet.  A fair number of very late season pompano are still hanging around.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair number of smaller pompano, along with a few keepers, most mornings.  Doc's Goofy Jig remains the best lure choice for the pompano.  Along the beach the best surf action for pompano has been up towards Hobe Sound Beach.   Sandfleas and clams will be the bait of choice for the pomps up that way.  Snook fishing, while not on fire, has been heating up along the beach.  Early morning and again late in the afternoon will be best for the snook.  If your trying to sight fish for the snook, aim for a high tide in the afternoon for best results. The snook are also filling into Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets in fair numbers ahead of the upcoming spawning season.  Live croakers,  when you can find them, will be best bait in the inlet for the snook.  Still a good number of sharks hanging around u to the north of Hobe Sound as well along the beach.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SATURDAY...South southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SUNDAY...South winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  The weather report (though not great) is beginning to look a little better for the upcoming holiday weekend.  With strong east winds in the forecast dolphin fishing could really fire up.  Hard to say what the magic depth will be, but the deep side of the 120' ledge should be a good starting point.  Trolling ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips will be a good bet for the dolphin (if the seaweed isn't too thick...it's been BRUTAL as of late).  If the seaweed doesn't allow for easy trolling; drifting and setting up a good chum slick is also a good bet for the dolphin.  Kingfish action slowed a bit over the last day; with most reports of better numbers coming from down south towards Boynton.   Should still be a fair numbers of kings scattered up and down the 120' ledge, with a few blackfin tuna in the mix as well.  The Bonita are beginning to show up; but are not here in big summer numbers yet.  Wahoo reports were a bit slow on the past moon, but we are sill a bit early for them.  Snapper reports were mixed this week, with a few good mutton snapper around.   

INSHORE- Last weekend to invite a slot size snook home for dinner...get on it!   SNook fishing has been a bit off this week, with no solid reports to speak of.  A few snook are being caught around the bridges and some are being picked away at in Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets.  Live sardines, pilchards, croakers,  small grunts, and pinfish are all good bait choices for the snook in the inlets.  Other inshore reports (not uncommonly for this time of year) remain very slow.  Get out and fish early or late in the day for best luck inshore.  

SURF/PIER-  Snook are beginning to show up along the beach, but not in huge numbers yet.  Large amounts of seaweed along the beach has made fishing for them tough.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair number of snook, but they are biting inconsistently at best.  A few good pompano reports coming in from Hobe Sound Beach.  A lot of short pompano around, with a handful of keepers in the mix to make it worth trying.  Croaker and whiting are biting fresh shrimp in the first trough.  A few jacks and tarpon along the beach.  East winds could make fishing a bit tough this weekend.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:

OFFSHORE:  Kingfish action remains very good from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlets right now in 100-200' of water.  Live sardines(If you can find any) are top bait choice, but the kings will also bite a dead sardine on a knocker rig as well.  Mixed in with the kings in that 100-200' range have been some blackfin tuna, cobia, and a handful of wahoo .  Also, beginning to show up are a lot of bonita.  Yes, the bonita can be annoying; but they do help attract a lot of other fish.  It's just a tiny bit early, but the full moon this weekend could have the wahoo snapping.  Wouldn't be the worst weekend to give the wahoo troll a try.  A bonita strip or rigged split tail mullet on a planer or behind a inline trolling sinker is a great choice for the wahoo.  Dolphin fishing was a bit slower this week, but east winds in the forecast could help push some of those fish inshore.  Bottom fishing reports were good this week with some solid yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and even a handful of grouper being caught.  Sardines remain the bait of choice for bottom fishing.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore, and with just a few weeks left in the season now is the time to get after them.  Fishing the bridges at night with a Flair Hawk Jig or bigger Swimbait is a solid choice, especially if your looking to catch a slot size snook.  Those looking to find numbers of snook should target docklights with small jigs and live shrimp.  Good reports of some big jacks cruising ICW and Loxahatchee River seawalls early in the morning.  A loud topwater lure or big live mullet is the way to go for the jacks.  Scattered reports of tarpon in Palm Beach Inlet right now.  A few more reports coming in on the Mangrove snapper in inshore spots as well.  

SURF/PIER:  The Juno Beach Pier (Despite the "T" being closed) has been producing a pretty fair amount of fish this week.  Some solid Spanish Mackerel along with a few scattered Kingfish coming over the rails.  The "Bobber Rig" has been producing a fair amount of bites, as has the crappie jig on calmer days.  The Snook bite slowed a bit at the pier, but a few are still being caught on dead sardines and live baits.  It's not uncommon for the snook to bite very on and off like this early in the season at the pier.  Jupiter Inlet is also beginning to hold a fair number of snook as well.  Live croakers are the best bet for the snook in and around Jupiter Inlet.  Pompano reports didn't completely dry up, but they were much slower this week.  Best reports on the pompano continue to come from north of Jupiter Inlet, with Hobe Sound being a good starting spot.  Some decent schools of tarpon being spotted moving north along the beaches over the past week or so, especially early in the morning.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Chance of showers. Chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE-  Summer tournament season really kicks off this weekend with the Grand SLam KDW, and the forecast as of now looks pretty fishy for it!  Kingfish bite has been good this week, with some solid size fish being caught between Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlets.  The kings seem to be holding best in about 120-150' of water.  NO super hot spot to speak of as the fish seem to be bouncing north and south on a pretty regular basis.  Drifting with live sardines, threadfins, and pilchards is top bet for the kings right now; while trolling deep baits is also a good choice for them.  Mixed in with the kingfish have been a fair number of blackfin tuna, a few early season wahoo, and few late season cobia as well.  Dolphin reports remain scattered all over the place, but they are being caught if you can get out and find em.  Swordfish reports seem to be pretty good over the past few weeks for the daytime guys.  Snapper reports seemed a bit mixed this week, depending on the day and who you talked to...

INSHORE-  Snook fishing seems to be heating up pretty good inshore, and should only improve now as we move towards 
spawning season for them.  Bridge fishing at night, especially on an outgoing tide, is the way to go for the snook.  Flair Hawk Jigs, big swimbaits, and shrimp Jigs have all been good choices for the snook right now.  Some jacks pushing around inshore right now along with a handful of tarpon.  Starting to hear of a few more mangrove snapper taking up their summertime homes inshore.
​
SURF/PIER-  Nice little push of late season pompano this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Snook fishing continues to improve along the beach and at  the pier as well.  Dead sardines are still working well at the pier, and the snook are also starting to bite the live baits as well.  Fat Spanish Mackerel have been being caught at the Juno Beach Pier as well.  Croaker and whiting are biting fresh shrimp in the first trough.  Some big jacks cruising along the beach right now if your looking for something bigger to pull on.

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Chance of showers.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Chance of showers.

​OFFSHORE:  Less than ideal weather for a better part of the week has kept reports to a minimum offshore.  Before the weather turned fishing remained very good.  Dolphin fishing remains fair to good; with the main challenge figuring out where they are on a day to day basis.  In and around the 120’ ledge springtime fishing remains very good.  Sailfish, blackfin tuna, kingfish, cobia, and others are all hanging out in 100-250’ of water now in good numbers.  Livebaiting along the edge is hard to beat right now, as is simply drifting/chunking with dead sardines.  If you can find them live sardines, pilchards, and threadfins will be awesome bait choices; with goggle eyes and small blue runners also remaining solid bait choices.  The kingfish are scattered up and down the line, with drifting sardines or trolling baits down deep (via planer or trolling sinker) being solid tactics for targeting the kings.  Cobia are hanging near the bottom and biting sardines the best.  Snapper fishing has remained good in 80-100’ of water.  Sardines will be the best bait choice for the bottom fish, with squid being a close second. 
 
INSHORE: Snook fishing has been good and should remain the best bet inshore for the near future.  Look for the bridges to produce well at night, especially those close to an inlet.  Flair hawk jigs and bigger swimbaits remain a very good lure choice.  Outgoing tide seems to be producing the best action on the snook.  Look for the snook to be laid up under boat docks and around seawalls during the day.  Mangrove snapper are beginning to show up in their summertime inshore spots, but not in huge numbers yet.  A few jacks and tarpon cruising around inshore, but not in big numbers.
 
SURF/PIER:  Kind of a transition period along the beach right now.  The winter species (bluefish, mackerel, etc) have largely moved on minus a few stragglers, and the snook and other summer species aren’t here fully just yet.  Pompano are still around in fair numbers, especially to the north of Jupiter Inlet.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a few jacks and some Spanish Mackerel (Note…The “T” of the Juno Beach Pier remains closed at the moment for construction.).  Snook fishing has been improving at the pier, with dead sardines still remaining a solid bait choice at the pier.  Jupiter Inlet has also began to produce some snook.

OFFSHORE:  Mild cold front pushing through Friday/Saturday kinda throws things up in the air a bit.  This week saw pretty good springtime fishing patterns prevailing.  Dolphin fishing remains pretty good, it's just anybodies guess on where they will be on a day to day basis.  Dolphin reports have come from just off the deep side of the ledge in 150' of water to over thirty miles out and everywhere in between.  Kingfish action remains very good up and down the 120' ledge.  The fish seem to be loosely schooled up and down the line, and have not locked into tyhe big late spring/early summer school off of Jupiter Inlet just yet.  Mixed in with the kingfish have been a fair number of blackfin tuna as well.  The blackfin have ranged in size from small footballs to fat twenty pound fish, and all sizes in between. Snapper fishing remains very good along the bottom, with a few cobia in the mix still as well.  Sardines will remain the baits of choice for the snapper and cobia.  Banded Rudderfish have shown up in good numbers as well this week in with the snapper and cobia.  

INSHORE:  Snook fishing has been very good this week, especially at night.  The snook are definitly beginning to move towards the inlets and they are eating along the way.  Big swimbaits and flair hawk jigs are working well around the bridges at night, while big live mullet are a great choice during the day around boat docks and seawalls.  Mixed in with the snook have been a few bruiser jacks.  Tarpon are hanging around Palm Beach Inlet in fair numbers.  Other inshore action is a bit spotty at present.  

SURF/PIER:  Pompano fishing remains good this week; but not as good as the past few weeks.  Sandfleas, clams, and FIshBites remain the baits of choice for the pompano.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a good number of Spanish Mackerel around, along with a handful of KIngfish as well.  A few big jacks and tarpon have been seen at the pier as well.  Best action will be early in the morning and late in the afternoon for the most part.  Rapala X-Raps and Yo-Zuri Longcast Minnows are a great choice for all around action.  Snook continue to increase in numbers around the pier and along the beach.  The Juno Beach Pier snook bite has been best on dead sardines over the past week.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southwest winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to south southwest 15 to 20 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning. Chance of showers. Chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...East northeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet along the coast and 2 to 4 feet with occasional to 5 feet in the Gulf Stream. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers.

​SUNDAY...East southeast winds around 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet along the coast and 2 to 4 feet with occasional to 5 feet in the Gulf Stream. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

Easter Sunday HOURS- 6AM-12PM

OFFSHORE-  The offshore fishing was a bit off this week.  A late season sailfish bite from the Juno Beach Pier to north of Jupiter Inlet was the main thing going on.  Mixed in with the sailfish were a handful of bigger dolphin, but not the numbers that the previous few weeks had produced.  Also, in with the sailfish have been a few very nice size blackfin tuna up to twenty pounds.  Live goggle eyes, small blue runners, and pilchards are the baits of choice.  Kingfish remain scattered up and down the 120' ledge from south of Palm Beach Inlet to north of Jupiter Inlet.  The kings have schooled up on a few days, but for the most part remain scattered up and down the line.  Dolphin reports over all remain better out deeper, but with the weekend forecast a long run offshore may the be the most desirable situation.  Trolling ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid has been the ticket for the dolphin.  Snapper reports remain pretty good overall, with some really nice yellowtail snapper being caught along with a handful of mutton snapper.  Sardines remain the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE- Snook fishing has been getting better and better, and should continue as we move on through the month.  Little late season front may slow them down a bit, but hopefully not too much.  The snook are moving off of their wintertime shrimp diet and beginning to look for larger baits in front of the upcoming spawning season.  During the day large live mullet around boat docks and seawalls is a good bet for the snook.  While throwing flair hawk jigs and big swimbaits is a good choice at night.  The bridges are starting to hold a fair number of snook at night, especially on an outgoing tide.  Mixed in with the snook should be a handful of bruiser jacks.  The upper stretches of the Loxahatchee River has had a fair number of smaller tarpon around.  Smaller panfish (Sandperch, a few croakers, maybe a sheepshead or two) have been biting pieces of fresh shrimp in the ICW.  

SURF/PIER-  Hard to forecast the weekend with the upcoming late season front in the mix.  The Juno Beach Pier saw fair action this week, with a nice mixture of springtime species around.  Some big jacks, a handful of kingfish, and fair number of bigger Spanish Mackerel all made a showing this week at the pier.  Early morning and late afternoon proved the most effective, especially for those throwing lures.  A Rapala X-Rap, Yo-Zuri Hyrdo Longcast, or Daiwa SP minnow have all been good choices for the jacks and kings.  The Spanish Macs have been biting small X-Raps and white crappie jigs the best.  A handful of snook are showing at the pier, and should begin to increase in numbers almost by the day.  Pompano fishing slowed a bit this week, but a few are still being caught.  Doc's Goofy jigs are still pulling a few from the pier; while clams, sand fleas, and fishbites are the best choice from the surf.  The spinner and blacktip sharks have largely left the beach, but they have been replaced by a smaller number of much larger ones (Including a 12' hammerhead that has been around the pier on quite a few occasions...)

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...South winds 20 to 25 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with a dominant period 6 seconds. Rough on the intracoastal waters. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers with thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.

SATURDAY...West winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 3 to 4 feet. Choppy on the intracoastal waters.

SUNDAY...Northwest winds 5 to 10 knots becoming north 5 knots in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 feet.

Offshore- Another wide swing of weather this week, with some swings in the fishing as well.   The best action overall remains around/along the 120’ ledge from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.  It’s the usual springtime pattern with a nice mixture of fish in the mix.  The kingfish, cobia, and banded rudderfish will be the main players along the ledge; with dolphin, wahoo, sailfish, bonita, and a host of others all being realistic possibilities as well.  Drifting sardines is a solid choice and will work for all species listed above.  Dolphin fishing has been good this week as well, with fish being caught in depths ranging from 150-800’ of water.  Trolling bonita strips and squid is a solid choice for the dolphin right now.  Sailfish are still around and will snap a goggle eye or blue runner under a kite for those looking to wrap up the sailfish season with a few releases.  Snapper fishing has been good this week inside the 120’ ledge with some mutton and yellowtail snapper being caught.  Sardines remain the absolute best bait choice along the bottom.  A little bumpy forecast wise this weekend: however, those who can get out should expect some pretty good fishing. 
 
Inshore- The springtime mullet run continues to file through and the snook and big jacks are taking advantage of the easy pickings.  The spring mullet run doesn’t produce much in the way of finger mullet, and the average bait size tends to be a little larger.  Not a bad thing if your looking to catch bigger fish, but don’t expect the same non-stop action that the fall mullet run can produce.  Live mullet fished along seawalls and under boat docks is a solid bet.  Throwing noisy topwater lures in the same areas early/late in the day for a shot at the snook and jacks if you’re not into fishing live baits.  Other inshore fishing is in a bit of transition, without a lot of other action to write about.
 
Surf/Pier-   Pompano fishing continues to fire off, and with strong south winds forecasted this weekend it could be lights out!  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBites will be the bait of choice for the pompano.  Early morning and late afternoon should be best for the pomps.  Spanish and King Mackerel are being caught at the Juno Beach Pier in good numbers.  Crappie jigs are great for the Spanish, while Rapala X-Raps are the ways to go for the kings.  Snook fishing continues to improve on a nearly daily basis at the pier.  Snook reports beginning to trickle in from the surf as well.  A stray tarpon or two being reported along the beach as well.  Good overall fishing right now along the beach…get after it!
 
NOAA Marine Weather:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots increasing to 10 to 15 knots in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 4 feet with a dominant period 7 seconds. A moderate chop on the intracoastal waters.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet. A moderate chop on the intracoastal waters. Slight chance of showers in the afternoon.

SUNDAY...South winds 10 to 15 knots increasing to 15 to 20 knots in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 5 feet. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Another up and down weather week offshore, but the fishable days saw a fair amount of action this week.   Springtime fishing patterns continue with a solid mixture of fish around.  Kingfish and cobia remain solid bets around 120' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter.  Sailfish bite remains good, with some boats getting close to double digit release chances.  Dolphin are here in good numbers; but remain scattered over a very large area (Reports ranged from 250-800' of water this week).  Snapper reports remain fair to good along the bottom, with sardines being the bait of choice.  Fair looking forecast for the weekend...should be pretty good fishing! 

INSHORE-  Springtime mullet run is on right now, and the big snook and jacks are taking notice.  The spring mullet run doesn't have the same amount of bait (or predators) as the fall migration; but for quality fish it is a great time to go.  Great time for catching the bigger snook as they begin to bulk up for the upcoming spawning season.  Jacks will also be hungry and cruising the seawalls ready to eat.  Tarpon reports are still coming in from Palm Beach Inlet, with some good ones being caught on live shrimp.  Look for the most action to go down early and late in the day, and don't be opposed to fishing at night either.  THe snook bite around the bridges at night has also been improving as of late.  

SURF/PIER-  Pompano action has been very good this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Fishing Pier.  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBites are the top bait choices for the pompano.  Doc's Goofy Jigs have also been producing well along the beach.   Bluefish seem to be making their end of season push back north, with a fair number being caught at the pier and also north towards Hobe Sound Beach.  Cut mullet and sardines are the top producing baits for the bluefish.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a fair number of both Spanish and King Mackerel around, especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Snook are showing up in better numbers at the Juno Beach Pier.  Frozen sardines remain a solid bait choice at the pier for the snook.  Overall good fishing along the beach,; should be a good weekend to give it a try!

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 9 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Chance of showers in the morning. Slight chance of thunderstorms. Slight chance of showers.

SATURDAY...East southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

SUNDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

OFFSHORE-  Quite a roller-coaster ride the weather has thrown (figuratively and literally) at us this week; and from the looks of the forecast the ride continues into the weekend.  The early part of the week saw some really really good springtime fishing.  Kingfish and cobia remain solid from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet in 90-150' of water.  Sailfish are snapping pretty good and the wind could fire up a great late season bite.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners fished in 120-250' of water should get some good shots at sailfish.  Keep a bait down deep for the cobia.  Dolphin fishing was a bit slower this week, but still some nice mahi being caught.  No specific depth on the dolphin right now, more a matter of getting out and tracking them down than anything.  Snapper fishing has been pretty good this week.  Sardines remain the bait of choice for the snapper.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing (like the weather) has been all over the place this week; but still remains the best bet in town.  The Snook are feeding well at night around the bridges, especially on outgoing tide.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up under docks and seawalls providing ambush points for unsuspecting mullet.  A few jacks cruising around inshore, but not great numbers by any means.   A handful of tarpon reports around Lake Worth Inlet.  

SURF/PIER-  Great pompano fishing at the Juno Beach Pier and along the beach this week.  Clams, sandfleas, and Fishbites are the bait of choice for the pompano.  Bright colored Doc's Goofy Jigs have been working well from the pier, especially during lowlight periods of the day.  The Juno Beach Pier has also had a good number of Spanish Mackerel around.  Crappie Jigs and Rapala X-Raps have been working well on the Macs.  Still a few blacktip/spinner sharks around; but the numbers are dwindling.  Get out and catch the last of the sharks now; they won't be around for much longer! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
