OFFSHORE- Dolphin reports sound good this week; with a solid number of fish being caught in 800-1000' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a very good way to go for the dolphin.  Look for the dolphin to be on well formed weed lines, around floating debris, and on well defined current rips and color changes.  Most of the dolphin have been in the 5-10lb range, with a few bigger ones in the mix as well.  Conditions look good for the dolphin on Friday and Saturday.  The wind comes around out of the north on Sunday and the ocean kicks up pretty good; could trigger a good early season sailfish bite.  Bottom fishing reports have started to improve.  Water conditions and current are getting back to normal, and the fish are responding.  A good mix of snapper around, with sardines being the bait of choice on the bottom.     

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore right now.  Some decent pods of mullet around and the snook are tagging close behind.  Scattered tarpon and jacks will be mixed in with the snook as well.  The mullet will be most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and at night.  At night the snook will also be hanging around the bridges.  Outgoing tide seems to be the best bet on the snook, with a flair hawk jig remaining a top lure choice right now.  If the snook are popping mullet on top; a Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil or Yo-Zuri Mag Darter is a solid lure choice.  The toadies are biting well inshore this week.  Small pieces of fresh shrimp on a long shank hook is the way to go for the toadies.   

SURF/PIER-  Despite less than ideal looking water along the beach; the fishing has been pretty good.  A good number of mullet pods have been coming down the beach with snook and tarpon still being around in good numbers (When the bluefish show up...the snook go away!).  Some jacks and sharks have been mixed in the mullet schools as well.  A live mullet fished on the edge or under the school is a great way to go.  When you're fishing in a million baits, you have to figure out how to make yours look a little different.  The Juno Beach Pier snook bite is not red hot right now; but still a pretty good number of fish around.  The bait situation (unless a school of mullet comes by) is a little tough at the pier.  Pompano reports were good last weekend, with a nice number of fish around.  Conditions look good to hopefully se some pompano show up again this weekend as well.

IG @kidder1003 with a solid one out of "The Mighty" fishing with Capt Eric (www.countylinecharters.com) this week..."The Mighty" of course being the world famous Loxahatchee.

OFFSHORE-  Tough fishing continued offshore this week.  Inside of 300' the water remains dirty with very little current.  A few scattered dolphin out deep this week; with reports seeming to bounce from 800-1000' of water.  The usual smaller trolling baits are the way to go for the dolphin; with bonita strips and squid being solid choices. Most of the dolphin have been in the 3-5lb range with a few 10lb fish in the mix.  No wahoo reports this week to speak of, but that could change with the new moon this weekend.  This time of year the sea-witch and bonita strip behind a planer is the way to go for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing reports remain very hit or miss.  When the tide gets back to running north and the water starts to clean up the bottom fishing should improve.        

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now.  The snook will be following mullet schools and seem to be feeding best at first light or as the sun is going down.  A lot of freshwater in the Loxahatchee River and parts of the ICW right now, so look for the fishing to be a little better closer to the inlets.  A handful of tarpon and jacks will be mixed in with the snook as well.  A noisy topwater like a Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil is a good choice during lowlight periods of the day.  At night the snook have been hanging around the bridges in decent numbers.  A flair hawk style jig remains a top lure choice for the snook.  

SURF/PIER:  Despite rather gross looking conditions and a fair amount of scattered seaweed, fishing along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier has been fair this week.  The mullet run has been a bit sporadic this week, but still some decent pods coming by.  The snook, tarpon, and jacks have been following close behind the pods.  Early morning and late afternoon tends to produce the most action around the mullet schools.   The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a good number of small pompano, along with a decent number of ladyfish.  A bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig will work well for both.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 2 ft at 4 seconds and NE 2 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers likely with a chance of tstms.

OFFSHORE-  Not a lot to write about offshore wise this week; with a lack of tide along the edge, strange funky water, and an ocean full of crabs.  The strange ocean conditions have kept the rock shrimp floating around the surface, but have left the fishing sub par at best.  It does look like a mild front pushes through into the weekend and that will hopefully help get conditions more back to normal.  Despite the conditions a handful of wahoo are being caught on the backside of the full moon.  The wahoo have been biting bonita strips with a sea-witch much better than anything else.  Most of the wahoo have been coming in the 175-300' range.  A few scattered dolphin reports way out deep, but not very predictable.  Snapper fishing remains very hit or miss on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  The mullet have started to flow inshore in pretty good numbers this week.  As usual the mullet will move much better at night and during lowlight conditions.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, and even the occasional redfish could be hanging around the mullet schools.  The snook have been locked in on the mullet around the bridges at night.  A flair hawk, larger swimbait, Yo-Zuri Mag Darter, or Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil are all good lure choices for the snook.  Outgoing tide seems to produce a little better, but incoming tide with cloudy water will also work well.  During the day look for the snook ands tarpon to be following mullet schools further up the Loxahatchee River and in the ICW.  Docks and  seawalls with some water depth are great areas to look for as they make ideal ambush points for predators following the mullet.  Doesn't get the same press as the mullet run...but the fall toadie run is on for those into that kind of thing! 

SURF/PIER- The early part of the week saw some nice pods of mullet with snook and tarpon rolling down the beach.  A slight building swell and funky water conditions into the middle of the week seem to have slowed things down a bit.  That will likely change headed into the weekend with favorable conditions lining up.  The mullet should be around in very good numbers headed into the weekend.  The best action will likely be early morning and then again late afternoon.  Fishing mullet on the edge of the school or underneath the school is. solid way to go.  Loud noisy lures in bright colors can also be a good way to go when fishing around mullet schools.  A handful of early season pompano around, but most of the fish have been on the smaller side.

Longtime customer Dave and friends found a nice fall pumpkin...
​

OFFSHORE-  The new moon wahoo bite has been good this week, with some good numbers around.  The wahoo have been biting along the 120' ledge early in the mornin g, and then sliding out to 250-400' of water as the sun gets up higher in the sky.  A sea-witch and bonita strip behind the planer is a great way to go for the wahoo.  The Nomad DTX minnow is also getting some wahoo bites.  A few scattered dolphin out deep; with the better catches coming outside of 800' of water.  The usual assortment of small bonita strips, squid, and ballyhoo remain solid choices for the dolphin.  Bottom fishing remains relatively tough.  The current has been on the slow side and the bite has been very slow.  When the current gets back to more normal conditions the snapper fishing should improve.  

INSHORE-  Tough fishing inshore this week for the most part.  A few mullet have started to trickle in, but the full on mullet run has not started yet.  It looks like things should open up soon; but as of now it remains a waiting game.  Snook fishing has been fair, with those really putting the time and effort in finding a few.  The snook fishing has been better at night, with outgoing tide tending to be the better bet.  Flairhawks and swimbaits remain top lure choices for the snook.  When the mullet really start to flood inshore expect the snook and tarpon to really fire up inshore; but when that happens remains anyones guess.  

SURF/PIER-  Fishing remains relatively tough overall along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Everyone is waiting on the mullet to show up.  At the time of writing a few small pods of passed by; but overall things have not really started happening yet.  A few snook biting late in the afternoon at the Juno Beach Pier, with bigger live baits being the way to go.  The Spanish Mackerel have made a decent little showing this week at the pier.  A smaller swimming plug or bobber rig with a Clark spoon have been a good way to go for the macs.  Freelining a small live bait is also a great way to go for targeting the mackerel.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...W winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming S in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 2 ft at 7 seconds and SW 1 foot at 3 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers, tstms.

Some sick new hats in this week...

OFFSHORE-  Fishing offshore was a bit slow this week; though it has been showing signs of improvement as the week goes on.  Dolphin fishing has been good, with some good catches coming in 200-300' of water and also outside of 1000' of water.  The dolphin have been largely found around floating debris and along well formed current rips.  Smaller baits (Small ballyhoo, bonita strips, squid) have been a very good choice for the dolphin.  The wahoo reports have fallen way off, but still a handful of fish around.  Trolling planes with sea-witch and bonita strip combo has been the best bet for the wahoo.  As the moon starts to get bigger over the next few week expect the wahoo bite to pick up again.  Bottom fishing has been slow this week, with very little current early in the week.  As the current starts to get back to normal expect the bottom fishing to start picking up.     

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing has been pretty good again this week.  Snook season opens Monday, and if current patterns hold the snook should be biting well.  The mullet have started to trickle inshore (moving around better at night) and the snook have taken notice.  Now is a great time for throwing bigger topwater plugs and swimbaits.  mixed in with the snook should be some bruiser jacks and tarpon.  Look for the snook to be staged up on ambush points with good current flow.  At night the snook have been hanging around bridge shadow lines and docklights.  As the mullet start to flow in better and better expect the fishing to really heat up.  

SURF/PIER-  This week saw a little more action along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Following the big swell last week a few pompano, including some keepers, showed up.  Along the beach a few pompano were biting sand fleas, while the Juno Beach Pier had some pomps coming over the rails on Doc's Goofy Jigs.  The snook fishing has  been good along the beach and at the Juno Beach as well this week.  The snook have been biting small swimbaits and swimming plugs along the beach; with the best bite coming early in the morning.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a good number of pilchards around, and the snook have been floating up top and biting free lined baits on the surface.  A few scattered tarpon along the beach over the past week.  Everything looks good for the mullet run to really ramp up anytime.  No big mullet schools yet; but it can't be far off!  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SW winds around 5 kt, becoming SE in the afternoon. Seas less than 2 ft or less. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 3 seconds and N 1 foot at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth. A chance of tstms. Showers likely, mainly in the morning.

The fishing world lost a giant this week.  Flip Pallot was an icon in every sense of the word, and he will be missed by so many.  In the words of Flip "More to come. Bye for now"

OFFSHORE-  Reports have been a bit slim this week.  Those making it offshore have found a decent number of dolphin around.  600-800' of water seems to be a pretty good range for the dolphin.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid has been the best bet for the dolphin.  Wahoo action slowed way down; but still a handful of them around.  Kingfish action came to a grinding halt early in the week.  Not a lot to write about this week; hoping things change headed into the weekend.  A big swell this weekend will hopefully get things moving enough to fire the fish up a bit.    

INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains pretty good inshore.  The snook are still in and around the inlets in good numbers; but have also started to put back into the ICW and River in a little better numbers.  The mullet run hasn't started yet, but a few early arriving mullet have caught the snook's attention.  At night the snook have been around the bridges in decent numbers. Outgoing tide tends to produce the best results on the snook, but if the incoming tide is cloudy they will bite on that tide as well.  Mangrove snapper have been biting a little bit at night.  

SURF/PIER-  Fishing from surf has been pretty much a wash this week, with a large swell and dirty water making things tough on the beach.  The Juno Beach Pier snook bite has been fair this week.  With dirty water and a swell the snook have been willing to bite swimbaits and jigs a little better; with that bite likely continuing into the weekend.  The bait has thinned out with the swell, but conditions do look right for some early season mullet to start showing up.  A few tarpon have been mixed in with the snook at the pier, another good indicator that the mullet are likely not too far away.  No snapper bite yet at the Pier with the hurricane swell, but that hopefully will change headed into the weekend.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...W winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming SW in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NE 5 ft at 11 seconds and W 3 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers and tstms in the morning, then showers and tstms likely in the afternoon.

SAT AND SAT NIGHT...SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NE 4 ft at 13 seconds and NW 2 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers and tstms likely.

SUN...SW winds around 10 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NE 4 ft at 12 seconds and W 2 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers and tstms in the morning, then showers and tstms likely through the night. A chance of showers and tstms after midnight.

Our buddy Murf and his Dad caught a solid one fishing with Capt Eric on Countyline Charters last week! 

OFFSHORE-  Wahoo fishing has remained good this week on the backside of the full moon.  Trolling Nomad DTX Minnows in the 165 and 200 size has worked well for the wahoo in 130-300' of water.  Hot Pink Mackerel, Pink Lava, and Wahooligan have all been great lure color choices for the DTX Minnows.  Trolling planers with a sea-witch and bonita strip combo also remains very effective for the wahoo; although the scattered wed has be relentless.  No secret for dealing with the weed; you just have to fight through it.   A few scattered dolphin reports out deep this week, but overall a tough pick on the mahi.  Snapper fishing has been fair this week.  Seems to be a fairly steady pick of mutton snapper around for those putting in the time.  A few yellowtail and mangrove snapper in the mix as well.  Sardines remain the bait of choice for the snapper.     

INSHORE-  The inshore summer mangrove snapper fishing has finally seemed to get going over the past week or so.  The mangrove snapper generally bite best at night around bridges and deeper boat docks with some current.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp will be the best bet for the mangrove snapper.  It's always a fine line in bait choice with mangrove snapper.  Fishing smaller baits for the snapper gets a lot more bites, but leaves you picking through a lot of 8 and 9" fish before finding a few keepers.  A bigger pilchard or good size chunk of sardine will catch the bigger snapper, but the bites come a lot slower.  Snook fishing remains pretty good inshore, with fish both around the inlets and pushing into the ICW and Loxahatchee in decent numbers.  A few early season mullet (mostly bigger mullet, not much in finger mullet) have pushed inshore, and the snook and occasional tarpon have taken notice of the early arrivers.  The snook fishing remains better at night, with bridges and docklights being the best bet still.  The dock light fish are still (and generally always will) eating smaller lure better, with the bridge fish being pretty tuned in on flair hawks these days.   

SURF/PIER-  For the most part fishing has been rather tough this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Catch and release snook fishing has been the most consistent thing going on this week; but slightly off colored water and a fair amount of seaweed has made even that tough.  Live bait has been around the Juno Beach Pier in decent numbers this week, but it does seem to be thinning out a bit:  This is a very common late summer deal that  generally indicates a slow turn to fall patterns, and likely the start of the mullet run before too much longer.  A few early season pods of mullet have already come down the beach, but we are still a week or two away from seeing real start of the mullet run.  If Tropical Storm (and later on Major Hurricane) Erin's probable track holds true it should help get a big push of mullet headed our way late next week.  (Right at about time of publishing...it does sound like water conditions have started to improve)

Some exciting new stuff in shop these days...gotta come by and check it out. Also stay tuned for news about our upcoming Shimano day! 

OFFSHORE-  The upcoming full moon has the wahoo absolutely chewing right now!  The reports have been very good on the wahoo out of both Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets this week.  Early morning and late afternoon they slide in a little shallower to feed (Mostly on those pain in the butt bonita), before sliding back out to 200-300' of water when the sun is up higher in the sky.  Trolling Nomad DTX Minnows, Rapala X-Rap Magnums, or a Sea-Witch with a bonita strip remains a solid way to target the wahoo.  A live bait (especially sardine or small goggle eye) fished 25-50' below the surface is also a great way to go for the wahoo, especially later in the day.  Try and stay out a little deeper with the live baits to cut down on the number of bonita grabbing the live baits.  Dolphin reports have fallen off pretty good; but still some being caught for those covering ground.  Better dolphin reports seem to be coming from out deeper (800-1000' of water).  Kingfish have been scattered along the 120' ledge in decent numbers.  The kings have been biting better late in the afternoon with the upcoming full moon.  Snapper fishing has been fair this week, with some good late afternoon reports.  A decent mixture of muttons, mangrove, and lane snapper being caught in 80-90' of water.  

INSHORE-  The Snook have been biting well in Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlet.  Live sand-perch and croakers are top bait choice for snook in the inlet.  Some of the snook will also break out of the inlet and lay up along seawalls in the Loxahatchee.  A few early season mullet have trickled in, with the snook taking notice of the early arriving mullet.  At night the snook have been hanging around the bridges in good numbers.  Outgoing tide has been producing the most bites on the snook.  A few scattered tarpon and jacks in the mix.  Mangrove snapper have been biting pretty good inshore, with the better bite coming at night.  

SURF/PIER-  Relatively slow fishing this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet these days, with the snook biting best early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  A fair number of small pilchards around; with the snook getting up floating pretty good in the bait schools.  When the snook get up and float in the bait schools they are easy targets for the free line live baits.  A few snook biting along the beach very early in the morning, with small swimbaits and twitch baits being top lure choices.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: SE 1 foot at 3 seconds and N 1 foot at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Tstms likely. Showers.

SAT...SE winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: SE 2 ft at 4 seconds and N 1 foot at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers with tstms likely.

Drew, Bryan, and Grant kicking it old school and catching one at night!  

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing remained pretty good this week, with some solid reports coming in from 600-1000' of water.  The usual trolling spread of smaller baits (Strips, Squid, ballyhoo) continues to produce the dolphin.  Overall most of the fish are in the 3-10lb range, so the smaller baits are just getting more bites.  Decent amount of east wind in the forecast for the weekend which could help push the dolphin in a little shallower.  A handful of wahoo around this week, and the general hope is to see a little bite of them around the current new moon.  A scattering of kingfish along the 120' ledge, though it continues to be a tough to catch them through the bonita.  Some solid mutton reports this week, with a handful of fish close to double digits being reported.  

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing remains on the tougher side right now.  Catch and release snook fishing has been the best bet inshore.  The snook remain largely in and around the inlets; with a fair number of fish in the Loxahatchee River and in the ICW as well.  The snook bite remains best at night, with Flair Hawks and bigger body swimbaits being solid lure choices.  Outgoing tide seems to be producing the most bites; with incoming tide working in areas that don't have as clean of water.  A few jacks and tarpon remain mixed in with the snook, though it seemed a little slower on them this week overall.   Mangrove snapper reports remain fair inshore, with the best action on them coming at night. 

SURF/PIER-  Catch and release snook fishing remains fairly good along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week.  This week saw the bait, including a good push of smaller bait, pick up a bit and the snook fired off a little better.  Early morning and late afternoon remain best times for the snook, though they will fire off ahead of approaching storms as well.  When the snook are actively feeding and patrolling the bait schools try free-lining live baits in front of them for best results.  When the snook are not as active, a bottom bait fished around the pilings or under the pier is the way to go.  A few bonita still pushing through the pier, along with some big barracuda.  Still waiting for the mangrove snapper to show up in little better numbers, but a few are around.  Also hearing a few reports of permit around.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...SE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: SE 3 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

We were at Cast last week and the Gulfstream Dealer show this week..lots of fun new stuff will be rolling out in the shop over the next few months!  Our friends at JYG Pro (@jygprofishing) have some stuff coming we are really looking forward to! 

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing remains decent for those willing to put the time (and fuel!) into finding them.  Best depths continue to be deeper, with 700-1100' of water seeming to hold a good number of fish.  Trolling the usual assortment of smaller baits will work, as will setting up on good looking areas and chunking for them.  Wahoo fishing remains good on the backside of the moon.  A little tough trolling with the large amounts of scattered weed, but the fish have been around.  150-300' of water will be the best depth for the wahoo, with sunrise and sunset being ideal times to look for them.  Bonita continue to take over the 120' ledge.  Snapper fishing seems to have improved a bit this week.  A handful of good mutton and yellowtail reports coming in from 90-100' of water.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  The snook are in and around the inlets for sure.  At night the bridges closer to inlets will be top choice for sure.  Flair hawks and bigger swimbaits have been working well for the snook, especially on outgoing tide.  Some tarpon remain mixed in with the snook, along with a few scattered jacks.  Inshore snapper reports remain decent.  The snapper have been biting better at night the past week with the big moon.  Small live pilchards and shrimp have been the baits of choice.  

SURF/PIER-  Catch and release snook fishing remains very good along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Early morning and late afternoon will be the best time for the snook.  The Bonita have not been moving through the pier quite as well this week, but still a handful pushing through.  Other action seems to be a bit hit or miss this week both at the pier and along the beach.  Hopefully a little east wind will get the ocean moving just a little this weekend and stir things up a bit.
