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.

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!

OFFSHORE-  Good fishing offshore this week, with nice springtime fishing going on.  Good dolphin reports coming in, thought the fish are scattered over a wide range of depths.  Sailfish bite has been good this week, with some boats putting up double digits.  Best depth for the sails remains 150-250' of water, with goggle eyes remaining the baits of choice.  Nice number of kingfish scattered up and down the line, with a few cobia mixed in as well.  Bottom fishing reports remain pretty good, and should only improve with nicer weather in the forecast.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing has been fair this week, especially around the bridges at night.   Look for the outgoing tide to produce the best for the snook.  Flairhawk jigs and SpoolTek Swimbaits remain solid choices for the snook.  Docklights are also holding a good number of snook, with live shrimp being the top bait choice.   Snook fishing should only improve as the weather warms up.  Other inshore fishing has been a bit spotty.

SURF/PIER-  Nice mixture of fish around this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier (minus a few days when rough surf drastically slowed down the fishing).  The Juno Beach Pier had some reports of snook being caught this week along with a fair number of pompano.  The snook were biting flair hawk jigs in the dirty water, while Doc's Goofy Jigs have been the ticket for the pompano.  Late season bluefish have been coming through, along with a scattering of Spanish Mackerel.  The spinner sharks are still hanging around.  Along the beach a fair number of pompano are being reported as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
SYNOPSIS... NE winds will slowly back from the N today before backing from the NW overnight as a cold front passes through the region. Consequently, winds over all Atlantic and Gulf waters will pick up overnight tonight. These breezy winds look to stay around until late Friday morning, though cautionary winds will continue across the Atlantic until Friday afternoon. The winds will then swing to an easterly direction this weekend while simultaneously decreasing. Breezy conditions look to return Sunday. The northern Atlantic waters will remain in the 5 to 7 ft range, with occasional 8 ft seas, today into Friday morning before slowly decreasing to 4 to 6 ft by Friday evening into Saturday morning. The Atlantic waters will then decrease to 4 feet or less this weekend.

​OFFSHORE:  Crazy swings in weather this week saw a little bit of everything going on.  Calm conditions early in the week had it looking like a full kick off of springtime fishing.  Good numbers of kingfish were being caught from the Juno Beach Pier to north of St. Luice Inlet.  As is often the case with those early schools of springtime kings they were moving a lot, but good action when you found them.  Drifting sardines on a knocker rig is a good bet for the kings, as is trolling strip baits behind a planer.  Mixed in with the kings have been a nice amount of cobia.  Sardines are the best bait for cobia, and should be fished somewhere between 90-130' for best luck.  A few windy days later in the week had the sailfish and dolphin fired up good.  This weekend looks like we get a great little weather window and good conditions before a little kick up in rain and wind early next week.  Should be a good weekend to go; little bit of everything going on right now!

INSHORE:  Snook fishing improved this week  The bridges are producing some nice slot size fish, especially on outgoing tide.  A flairhawk or SpoolTek remain top lure choices for the snook right now.  Docklights are also holding a good number of snook.  Live shrimp or a DOA Shrimp remain solid lure/bait choices for the snook while fishing docklights.  Scattered jacks roaming around in the ICW right now, but not in huge numbers.  The Palm Beach Inlet continues to produce some big jacks.  Still a few sheepshead holding in the Inlet as well, though they have started to thin out.  

SURF/PIER:  The crazy swings in weather this week have led to a few good days along the beach and at the pier, and also has pretty much shut down other days.  The Juno Beach Pier continues, under the right conditions, to produce a fair number of kingfish.  Most of the kings seem to be coming up in the morning, and then a few stragglers again later in the afternoon.  Scattered bigger Spanish Mackerel mixed in with the kings.  A swimming plug (Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Longcast Minnow) continues to be the biggest producer for the kings and bigger Spanish.  Scattered pompano reports from the pier.  Not big numbers on a consistent basis coming over the rail, but a few days have managed to produce a fair number of good size pompano for those putting in time with the Goofy Jig.  Better pompano reports continue to come from Hobe Sound area beaches.  Blacktip/Spinner sharks continue to bite in good numbers for those looking for something bigger to pull on.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop.
 
SUNDAY...East northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers.

OFFSHORE-  This week has seen quite a weather swing, and some very good fishing.   Kingfish have made a solid showing this week, with good numbers of fish up and down the line.  Drifting sardines on a triple hook knocker rig is a great way to go for the kingfish right now.  Trolling a lipped diving plug or bonita strip behind a planer is also a good bet for the kingfish.  Look for the kingfish to be in the thickest numbers from Juno Beach Pier up to Jupiter Inlet in 100-150' of water most likely (As is usually the case, it shouldn't be too hard to spot the king fleet).  Sailfish action was good over the past few days with some north wind for those dealing with the rough ocean.  Dolphin action is a bit spotty, but reports do continue to roll in of catches.  As is often the case with springtime dolphin they are starting to spread out pretty good, making it hard to pinpoint a starting depth.  Cobia are also around in good numbers.  Look for the cobia to be in 100-120' of water, with sardines also being the bait of choice.  Other bottom reports are a bit spotty at best.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing prior to the little cold snap was very good.  A quick warm-up should have them biting good again in short order.  The Flair Hawk bite remains fair to good around the bridges, especially on an outgoing tide.  Docklight action is also very very good for catching numbers of snook right now.  Small white jigs and shrimp imitating lures are excellent choices for fishing snook around docklights.   Pompano fishing has been good inshore in the Stuart area, but slow in the local Juno/Jupiter area for the most part.  Fair number of jacks pushing around in the Loxahatchee River and ICW right now.  Hobe Sound Flats continue to produce mixed bag action on ladyfish, jacks, occasional trout or redfish, snook, sheepshead, and a few others.   

SURF/PIER-  Reports for the first part of the week were well...weak.  However, at time of writing the surf south of Jupiter Inlet has started to come alive.  Solid reports of Bluefish coming in from the Juno Beach Pier currently.  LOTS of blacktip sharks mixed in with the bluefish as well.  Pompano reports have also been on the rise with a few fish being caught south of Jupiter Inlet, and good numbers coming in from Hobe Sound.  Clams, Sandfleas, and FishBites remain the baits of choice for the pompano.  Looks like we could be in for some good fishing this weekend!

OFFSHORE-  Nice looking forecast for a run offshore this weekend (see forecast below).  Dolphin fishing remains good, with reports coming in from a wide range of depths (200-600').  Typical spring time dolphin fishing with most of the fish being a little better size and grouped up more in small packs than big schools.  Sailfish bite remains good as well between 120-250' of water from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners will be the baits of choice for the sailfish.  Kingfish are scattered along the 120' ledge in good numbers, with some big smoker kings in the mix with them.  Good numbers of kingfish holding a little up the coast...spring run isn't too far away from the looks of things.  Cobia fishing has been very good in 100-120' of water over the past few weeks.  Sardines on the bottom are going to be the bait of choice for the cobia.  Bottom fishing remains good, with some solid snapper reports coming in.  Not a usual component of our reports, but can't not mention that the swordfish bite has been ridiculously good over the past few week.  Bahamas wahoo reports are also still strong, with a fair number of yellowfin tuna showing up as well.  

INSHORE-  Warm weather has kept the snook fired up.  Should continue to be good snook fishing; especially if we don't have too many late season fronts.  Throwing the flair hawk at night around the bridges is a solid choice for the snook, especially on outgoing tide.  During the day look for the snook to be laid up around dark bottoms and under good cover producing docks and seawalls.  Docklights in the ICW are also holding good numbers of snook as well.  Solid numbers of jacks around in the ICW and Loxahatchee River right now.  The jacks love to cruise along seawalls looking for easy meals.  Topwater plugs and live mullet are solid choices for the jacks.  The flats around Munyan Island continue to produce a nice variety of fish; jacks, ladyfish, snook, an occasional redfish or trout, and others are all around right now.  

SURF/PIER-  Rough weather and unfavorable wind kept area surf reports a bit quiet this week.  Better pompano reports coming from Hobe Sound/Jupiter, with a few coming in later in the week from south of Jupiter Inlet as well.  Sandfleas, clams, and FishBites remain the baits of choice for the pompano.  Bluefish reports are slowing down, but we should expect a push of big blues before too long.  Spanish Mackerel action remains fair to good at Peck's Lake depending on the day and conditions.  The Juno Beach Pier has been very quiet this week...hopefully that changes very soon!  Solid number of spinner/blacktip sharks around right now.  Lots of fun on big topwater plugs early/late in the day.  Also a solid bite on the sharks at night using fresh chunks of bait.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East southeast winds around 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters smooth.

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

SUNDAY...South southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A slight chance of showers.

OFFSHORE-  Good fishing overall this week, and a fair forecast for the weekend should keep the fish around.  Sailfish bite was good this week.  Most boats targeting sails have been getting at least a few chances, and a handful of boats have seen over ten.  The sailfish are scattered up and down the line (which should make for an interesting "Sailfish Challenge" 3-Inlet Tournament), with consistent catches coming between the Juno Beach Pier and Jupiter Inlet in 150-225' of water being the top depth.  Very good dolphin fishing this week, and with the forecast it looks like that should continue through the weekend.  Best bet for the dolphin has been 200-400' of water, but that depth could vary quite widely so don't be afraid to go look around if it's not happening in that depth range.  The same live goggle eyes and blue runners that work well for the sailfish are going to be top baits for the bigger dolphin around as well.  Trolling ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid are also solid choices for the dolphin as well.  Kingfish action has been very good again this week, with 120' being a good depth to start with for the kings.  Commercial kingfish action has been very good a little farther north, so the spring run of Jupiter fish are not far away now!  Cobia are around in good numbers off of Jupiter in 100-150' of water.  Sardines have been the top bait choice for the cobia.  Other bottom fishing has been fair this week, with some good snapper catches coming in.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing continues to improve with the warming weather.  As the water inshore begins to warm back up a bit the snook will begin to become more and more active.  Snook reports are improving at night around the bridges.  Look for outgoing tide to be the best tide for the snook; with flair hawk jigs and SpoolTek swimbaits being top lure choices.  Snook, mostly smaller ones, are also around the docklights in good numbers.  Live Shrimp, DOA Shrimp, and Vudu Shrimp (see a pattern here...) are good choices around the docklights.  Look for the snook to bite best on the top of the outgoing tide, but that may vary depending on where your fishing.  Other inshore fishing reports were a bit slower this week.  Has been a few jacks cruising around inshore, but no big numbers yet.  Area bridges are producing a good number of sandperch on pieces of fresh shrimp.  The Hobe Sound Flats in the ICW are still holding a nice assortment of fish as well.  

SURF/PIER-  Good pompano fishing this week north of Jupiter Inlet.  Top producing baits have been sandfleas, clams, and FIshbites.  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce a few kingfish each morning, with Rapala X-Raps being a great lure choice for that.  Spinner/Blacktip sharks remain around in good numbers for those looking for something a little bigger to pull on.  Good numbers of bluefish and jacks scattered up and down the beach as well. 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers.

SATURDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots along the coast to southeast around 15 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers.

​SUNDAY...South winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers.

OFFSHORE-  The weather looks good for a trip offshore this weekend.  It's been a bit of a funky week offshore, with some big weather swings and some assorted species being caught.  Sailfish action has been fair and this mild front could push a few fish from up the line down this way.  Still seems like a bulk of the sailfish are up north and we should still see a good push of fish.  Look for the sailfish to be in 120-250' of water from the Palm Beach Inlet up to the Loran Tower.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners will be the baits of choice, as usual for the sails.  Scattered reports of dolphin, with some being pretty good size, coming in from 200-400' of water.  The same livebaits for sailfish will work; as will trolling ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips.  Decent number of kingfish scattered up and down the 120' ledge, with a lot of the fish being good size.  Cobia are beginning to hang out in fair numbers with the sharks in 100-150' of water.  Snapper fishing reports have been fairly good when conditions allow.  Sardines remain the bait of choice for the cobia and snapper.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing has been pretty good this week, especially at night around the bridges.  FlairHawk Jigs are a solid lure choice right now, especially on outgoing tide.  Docklights in the ICW are also holding a good number of snook, but most of the fish are on the smaller size.  Live shrimp are a solid choice for the snook when fishing around docklights.  The sheepshead are in Palm Beach Inlet in fair numbers right now, and biting live shimp.  Hobe Sound Flats are still producing a nice assortment of fish.  Live shrimp, Vudu Shrimp, and Doc's Goofy Jigs have all been good choices in Hobe Sound.  No reports to speak of from Munyan Island, but the time is right for some fish to be around...could/should be worth checking out!

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce a few kingfish almost every morning on X-Raps or trolley rigs.  Scattered Spanish Mackerel are also mixed in at the pier.   Pompano action has been fair this week, and conditions look right for them to bite this weekend.  Doc's Goofy Jig remains the lure of choice for the pomps on the pier; while sandfleas, clams, and fishbites will be the top producers from the beach.  Blacktip/Spinner Sharks are around in good numbers for those looking for something bigger to pull on.  The sharks will bite loud noisy topwater plugs a lot of times early in the morning, and are wrecking pieces of fresh bait at night.  Lots of fun from the beach if you've never caught them before!

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRIDAY...East northeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet with occasional seas to 5 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

OFFSHORE-  This week has seen some pretty good fishing offshore.  Calmer weather (which is unfortunately not in the forecast for the weekend! See below...) allowed for some spring like fishing conditions, and some early spring fishing.  The small drift boats out of both Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlet have been reporting good catches of kingfish along the 120' ledge , with some of the kings pushing twenty pounds or better.  Mixed in with the kingfish have been a handful of cobia riding along with the sharks.  Sardines will be a good bait for both the kings and the scattered cobia.  Dolphin reports were also good this week with some catches coming in 120' of water and others out to 600'.  With stronger east  winds in the forecast expect the dolphin to be pushed in closer this weekend.  Should be a pretty good sailfish this weekend.  Look for the sailfish to be in the usual 120-230'range, with Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet being a good spot to start looking for the spindlebeaks.  Live goggle eyes or blue runners will be the bait of choice for the sailfish(as well as some big dolphin).  Bottom fishing has been pretty good, but conditions most likely will limit the bottom fishing this weekend.  

INSHORE-  Snook season is back open, and the reports are starting to come back in.  The flair hawk bite has been good at night around the bridges, especially on an outgoing tide.  (Expecting an order of First Light Jig Snook Jigs into the shop almost any day...opening of season put a hurting on the jig wall).  Juno Bait Shrimp Tails have also been a solid choice for the snook.  Reports around Hobe Sound (Mile Marker 40-44) remain pretty good for mixed bag action of ladyfish, jacks, snook, and occasional pompano.  Pompano reports in the Loxahatchee River have fallen way off over the past week.  Should be some sheepshead in Palm Beach inlet willing to eat a live shrimp on the bottom. 

SURF/PIER-  Surf fishing really fired up last weekend and early into the week, but slowed a bit as the week went on.  Last week saw a solid push of bluefish, jacks, and spinner sharks for those into catching hard fighting fish on lighter tackle and artificial lures.  GT Ice Creams, diamond jigs, and heavy spoons have all been great lure choices.  Spanish Mackerel action has been fair at Peck's Lake, but not lights out like it can be.  Pompano reports were very good up and down the line last weekend, but have slowed as the week went on.  Best pompano reports now are coming from north of Jupiter Inlet again, with clams being the top producing bait of choice.  As mentioned a bit earlier, the spinner sharks are here in solid numbers right now.  Best action for them will be early morning and late afternoon for those trying to catch one on a lure, while bait fishing is best at night for the sharks.

OFFSHORE- The sailfish bite was fair this week; with a decent scattering of fish from Palm Beach Inlet up to the Loran Tower.  No hot spot for the sailfish, instead it was more a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and then capitalizing on the chances.  A handful of boats saw close to 10 fish this week; with most on average getting three to five shots.  Live goggle eyes and blue runners under the kite have been the main bait of choice for the sails.  Mixed in with the sailfish have been a fair number of good size dolphin.  Sounds like 180-260’ of water seems to be the main zone of travel, with some fish being caught deeper and/or shallower depending on the day’s conditions.  Kingfish bite slowed a bit, but still a good number of bigger fish scattered up and down the 120’ ledge.  Bottom reports were a bit slow this week; most likely due to less than ideal water conditions inside of 120’.  Fair looking weekend coming up should hopefully lead to some good reports.
 
INSHORE-  Snook season opens tonight at midnight (2/1) for the east coast, and reports sound pretty good overall.  Winter snook fishing is always a little bit tougher, but those putting the time in are finding a fair number of willing fish around.  The bridges will be a good starting spot, especially on an outgoing tide.  A shrimp jig is a good lure choice, as is a flair hawk.  The snook won’t be super active, so presentation of the lure and patience is key in getting the bites.  The Hobe Sound Flats (west side of ICW between Mile Marker 40-44) continue to hold a nice mixed bag variety of species.  A few spotted seatrout, occasional redfish, ladyfish, pompano, jack, and small snook are all hanging around the flats right now.  Pompano action slowed a bit in the Loxahatchee River this week, but a handful of fish have been caught throughout the week on Goofy Jigs. 
 
SURF/PIER-  A large swell made fishing tough early in the week, but overall things seem to be picking up.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair number of bluefish, a few pompano, scattered Spanish Mackerel, some kingfish, and plenty of blacktip sharks.  Fishing from the surf was a bit slower this week, but pompano reports north of Jupiter Inlet have started to improve (still a bit spotty south of Jupiter).  Bluefish are biting fairly well in Hobe Sound.  Plenty of sharks moving along the beach for those looking for something a little bigger to pull on!  Super Bowl Weekend tends to really mark the kickoff (pun intended) of the full on spinner/blacktip migration for South Florida. 
 
NOAA MARINE WEATHER-
FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers. 

SATURDAY...East winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. .SATURDAY NIGHT...East northeast winds 5 to 10 knots along the coast to east 5 to 10 knots in the Gulf Stream. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

SUNDAY...East winds around 5 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Intracoastal waters smooth. A chance of showers.
