Hope everyone is having a very Happy Thanksgiving!  
Killer Black Friday/Small Business Saturday Sales this weekend...come check it out if you have a chance!  

OFFSHORE-  Would say we have a fairish forecast for this time of year.  Not super nice, but not un-fishable either.  Sailfish reports have been on the rise the past week.  Most boats putting the live baits out under the kite are getting at least a chance or two on the sails.  Dolphin fishing remains solid, with some good size fish in the mix.  Kingfish are scattered along the 120' ledge in pretty good numbers.  Pretty solid bottom fishing with some good yellowtail and mutton snapper reports.   Speaking of bottom fishing, last week saw some really really good deep water bottom fishing, especially on the Slow Pitch Jigs.  Our friends at JygPro Fishing  (http://jygprofishing.com) went on an absolute tear.  Cool pic from them below. 

INSHORE-  Windy rainy weather early in the week had the snook bite on fire inshore.  Another fair push of unexpected mullet had the snook and big jacks ready to go.  Clearing weather will slow that bite a bit; but expect the snook still to be fired up.  The bite will likely get better at night for the snook, especially around the bridges.  Did have a few more sheepshead reports, along with the occasional black drum report as well; getting to be that time.  Sounds like the pompano report up north (Stuart area) is hearting up inshore on bright colored Doc's Goofy Jigs. 

SURF/PIER-  Reports have started to improve along the beach.  Still dealing with less than ideal water conditions, but if you find cleaner water the fish have been around.  Pompano reports are definitely on the rise this week.  The usual baits (FishBites, Clams, Sandfleas, Fresh Shrimp) have been the way to go for the pomps.  You never know what the pomps will want any given day; so it generally pays to have a variety of baits to offer them.  A scattering of some late season mullet has a mix of jacks, bluefish, small tarpon, and even a few snook around.

OFFSHORE-  Well...after a nice little stretch of weather last weekend into the first part of the week; it looks like things go away from us again this weekend.  Over the past week dolphin fishing has been pretty solid.  The best dolphin reports seem to be coming in roughly 600-800' of water.  Depth has varied depending on water conditions.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, or squid remains the best bet on the dolphin.  Inside of 300' the sailfish have started to bite a little better.  Conditions do look right for the sails to bite this weekend (the same dolphin that have been out deeper will likely be in with the sails in 120-200' of water as well).  A few wahoo around the past week on the backside of the moon.  Kingfish also remain scattered along the 120' ledge in decent numbers.  Bottom fishing was good this week.  The current was on the slower side, which had the yellowtail snapper biting good! Nice mixed bag of porgies, grunts, and the other usual suspects on the bottom as well.   

INSHORE-  Pretty good inshore reports despite less than overall water conditions.  Snook fishing remains solid; especially with a slightly unexpected pop of mullet showing up after Nicole.    The Loxahatchee River has been holding a fair number of snook, along with a few tarpon and jacks.  The bridge snook bite remains good at night.  With temps remaining fairly warm the snook are still biting bigger baits well; but are also responding well to smaller presentations (3" NLBN or Shrimp Jig) as well.  As the water temps drop the smaller and slower the baits go the better!  A scattering of sheepshead around, but no big numbers yet.  Expect that to get better as the water cools off a little more. 

SURF/PIER-  Despite much nicer conditions along the beach this week the surf fishing remains on the slower side.  The water is still an off color after the storm; which is no doubt not helping the fishing.  The Juno Beach Pier is back open, with only limited reports coming through.  When catfish lead off what's being caught at the pier...you know things are not great.  The Juno Beach Pier has also had a few small jacks and ribbonfish around.  With any luck NE winds will help get some more Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Pompano headed in our direction.  Have heard a handful of rumors (We won't call them reports so much!) of some decent pompano fishing starting in Jensen Beach and headed north.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N NE winds around 15 kt with gusts to around 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers.

SAT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers in the morning, then a chance of showers in the afternoon.

Check out the size of this fat snook!!! Stephen and Jack had a great trip fishing with Captain Eric of www.countylinecharters.com 

OFFSHORE-  This may come as a bit of a surprise...but we haven't had any reports for the past week. The weekend forecast is actually looking halfway decent.  Saturday looks like it could be a dolphin day, and Sunday could have the sailfish biting.  If the water isn't too bad inside the 120' ledge, it could be a really good bottom bite as well.  A lot of would, could, and should's I know...but after the past week of weather it's about all we have to go with! 

INSHORE-  Water inshore (at time of writing) is way up and pretty dirty for the most part.  Areas of cleaner water will no doubt have the snook fired up: And as the water clears it will only help to get them biting better.  Use the wind to your advantage to help easily direct baits to easy ambush points.  Mixed in with the snook will be a fair number of tarpon and some big jacks.  Expect the rough weather to push some snapper into Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlet.  

SURF/PIER-  Surf has been blown out all week, and the Juno Beach Pier has been closed since lunchtime on Monday...so as you may guess, no reports of any kind this week.  No word yet on when the Pier will reopen, but it will likely be a few days before it does.  Palm Beach Inlet should have a fair number of jacks and possibly some bluefish and Spanish Mackerel around.  Hopefully SW winds help clean the water up quick, surf calms down as the weekend goes on, and the fish show up! 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...S SW winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts to around 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Period 4 seconds. NE swell 4 ft. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A slight chance of showers.

SAT...W SW winds around 5 kt becoming S SW in the evening. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Intracoastal waters smooth. A slight chance of showers and tstms in the afternoon.

SUN...N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Intracoastal waters light chop.

The new Yo-Zuri 3DR-X Pencil maybe the BEST small topwater lure on the market! Excellent walk the dog action, great casting, and perfect when the fish are keyed in on smaller baits! 

OFFSHORE-  Bit of a windy weekend ahead...to put it mildly.  A few days of NE wind in the forecast (unfortunately without much of a temperature drop) could really fire the sailfish up.  Look for 150-250' to be about right for the sails.  Dolphin reports have been good this week in 200-400' of water.  The dolphin should slide into the same depth range as the sailfish.  Both the sails and dolphin should jump all over a live goggle eye or small blue runner fished under a kite.  Wahoo reports were good again this week.  Split tail mullet or a big bonita strip fished behind a planer or trolling sinker is a good way to go for the wahoo.  Bottom fishing reports early in the week were pretty good; though conditions likely won't really make it worth trying on the bottom this weekend.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore.  Seems like just about every time it seems the mullet are gone a few more pods roll through.  With no significant temperature drops the snook have still been eating the bigger baits well.  Flair Hawk Jigs, 5" NLBN paddle tails, and live mulletother continue to get bites.  As the temperatures drop the snook will really begin to key in on shrimp and smaller baits.  Those baits will no doubt get bites now; but the bigger lures/baits are still in play for sure right now.  Still a few tarpon floating around the Loxahatchee River, along with some big jacks.  Closer to the inlets the smaller jacks have been around in pretty good numbers. 

SURF/PIER-  Dirty water along the beach has the fishing very very slow this week.  The Juno Beach Pier has been slow as well with the dirty water.  At time of writing the water has started to clear a bit along the beach: Fingers crossed it continues that way.  Been a fair number of small jacks and some ribbonfish around.  A very occasional pompano report or two this week, but not much.  With any luck the NE wind in the forecast will get some fish pointed in our direction.  Expect to see a fair number of Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and hopefully pompano in the very near future.  The sharks are around in good numbers.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin reports remain good this week, with most of the fish in 300'-400' of water.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, or squid all seem to be producing bites from the dolphin.  NE winds in the forecast will likely have the dolphin in a little closer this weekend.  Along with the dolphin; expect the NE wind to fire up the sailfish bite.  150-250' of water seems to be a good depth to start looking for the sailfish.  Still a few wahoo caught over the past week (side note- Bahamas wahoo fishing has really started to fire off!). Bottom fishing remained good this week.  A fair number of snapper around, and still a fair number of red grouper around as well.  Sardines remains the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore right now.  Still a fair number of mullet around, and the snook haven't lost interest yet (As the water begins to cool the snook won't bother to chase down the mullet as readily; and prefer shrimp and smaller easier to digest baits).  Flair Hawks, NLBN Swimbaits, and swimming plugs all remain solid lure choices for the snook.  The tarpon are still mixed in with the snook, along with some bruiser jacks.  Starting to get a few sheepshead reports coming in, along with the occasional inshore pompano as well.  Seasons are no doubt shifting.  

SURF/PIER- Dirty water in on the beach has fishing a bit slow this week.  A handful of pompano around, and that should only improve as the water (hopefully) begins to clear up a little.  A few bluefish around, with the best action on them coming late in the afternoon into the evening.  Cut sardines and mullet are a good bait option for the blues; while a silver spoon or diamond jig typically works good lure wise.  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce a fair number of Spanish Mackerel.  White crappie jigs continue to produce the most action on the Macs.  A solid number of sharks around these days for those looking for something bigger to pull on.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

​SAT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

SUN...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft. N NE swell 3 ft. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

OFFSHORE-  Going to be a bit sporty offshore this weekend; but that north wind will likely fire up the sailfish bite.  Ideal conditions to get the kites out and look for the sails tailing down the waves.  With varying water conditions its hard to say what will be the prime depth; but if we get a well defined blue/green edge in 150-250' that will be the place to start.  If the dirty green water is further offshore (Hopefully the east wind pushes the blue water in) don't be afraid to set up a little deeper.  Expect a fair number of dolphin, including some bigger ones, to be in the same areas as the sails.  A few wahoo were caught early in the week on the backside of the moon.  A split tail mullet or big bonita strip behind a planer is the way to go for the wahoo right now.  Bottom fishing was fair this week, including some good fishing for Vermillion Snapper in 180-250' with slower current early in the week.  

INSHORE-  First cool front of the season slowed snook fishing down just a bit; but expect them to be back to biting good over the weekend.  Still a good number of finger mullet inshore, and the snook are keyed in on them (with that said...also starting to get bites on the shrimp jig as well!).  Mixed in with the snook have been a pretty good number of tarpon, a few bruiser jacks, and still a stray redfish or two.  As the mullet run does taper off and the weather cools down a bit, look for the sheepshead and black drum fishing to start to pick up inshore.  Also, a handful of Pompano reported in the ICW up north this week.  A small bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig is the way to go for the pompano.  

SURF/PIER- Pretty good mixed bag action along the beach this week.  Still some late season pods of mullet coming down the beach, with all the usual suspects around them.  Snook haven't totally left the beach, but they are beginning to thin out.  They are largely being replaced with good numbers of Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.  Jacks and Ladyfish are also scattered along the beach in fair numbers.  Pompano reports were good this week, with the Juno Beach Pier having a few good days on the pomps.  A bright colored Doc's Goofy jig remains the top producer for the pompano.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts to around 25 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft along the coast and 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft in the Gulf Stream. Period 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of tstms in the morning. A chance of showers. A chance of tstms in the afternoon. .

SAT...N NE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts to around 20 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SUN...N NE winds around 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Intracoastal waters a light chop.

It's about that time...

OFFSHORE-  Reports were again a bit slow offshore this week.  A handful of dolphin reports continue to come in.  Most of the better dolphin reports seem to be coming in from 700-1000' of water.  Standard dolphin fishing...find something floating, a good current rip or color change, or temp break and the dolphin will be in the area.  Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid are all good choices.  Still been a fair number of smaller blackfin tuna in 300-400' of water.  Most of the tuna are smaller, but a few good ones in the mix (especially on the vertical jigs).  Scattering of kingfish along the 120' ledge, but not great numbers.  Doesn't sound like the full moon wahoo bite is red hot(It does sound like the Bahamas wahoo bite got going though!), but a few are being caught in 150-250' of water.  Trolling split tail mullet and Nomad DTX Minnows continues to work for the wahoo. Mixed reports on the bottom fishing.  One day the snapper bite good, the next its a terrible current and a slow bite.  We are seeing a fair number of red grouper around (Often the case following a hurricane that moves through the Gulf of Mexico).   

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains very good inshore, along with a fair variety of other species as well.  Still a solid number of finger mullet around, and the snook are not far behind them.  Smaller tarpon are also hanging around the finger mullet schools in good numbers.  The finger mullet will get up on the surface during lowlight periods of the day or at night making them easier to find.  During the day look for them in protected canals and areas without a lot of boat traffic.  Along with the snook and tarpon, reports include ladyfish, jacks, and even a handful of redfish.  All kinds of good reports from www.countylinecharters.com this week. 
​
SURF/PIER-  Fishing along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier remained pretty good this week, despite less than ideal water conditions.  The mullet run has largely wound down along the beach; with a few pods still likely to come cruising through.  The bulk of the action has moved to fall/winter species for the most part.  Spanish Mackerel, bluefish, jacks, ladyfish, and a few pompano are making up a bulk of the action.  At the Juno Beach Pier it has been the above species, with a few kingfish and a scattered redfish or two still in the mix.  For all around action a bobber rig with a clark spoon is a really good choice.  Doc's Goofy Jigs in bright colors are also a good way to go for pompano and a mixed bag of just about everything else.  A large swimming plug (Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Hydro Longcast Minnow) is a good choice for the kingfish.  Live shrimp is the way to go for the last of the redfish around.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N NW winds 5 to 10 kt becoming N NE 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Period 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A slight chance of tstms in the morning. A slight chance of showers.

SAT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. A slight chance of showers.

SUN...E NE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts to around 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

Sometimes they need a hug too! @allwatertripp taking advantage of the killer inshore fishing right now! Give Tripp a follow on IG... don't be fooled though www.arushcharters.com is teaching him all the tricks! 

OFFSHORE-  Slim reports this week from offshore.  Rough conditions and less than ideal water quality out to the edge hasn't made anybody rush offshore too fast.  Some pretty good dolphin reports (mostly smaller fish...but decent numbers) early in the week when conditions were a little better.   Most of the fish were in 600-800' of water and caught around floating debris leftover from the storm.  The weekend forecast looks pretty sport; but for those who wanted to brave it we could/should see a nice sailfish bite.   Won't be ideal conditions to fish for them; but could also seem some wahoo around this week with the moon getting bigger.  Bottom reports were slim this week due to lousy water conditions in on the reef.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remained strong inshore this week.  Finger mullet schools are still around in good numbers and the snook aren't far behind.  The mullet will move best during lowlight periods and at night.  A Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil or Mag Darter remain top lure choices.  Still a lot of freshwater coming out of the spillways, but overall hasn't  slowed the snook fishing down too much.  Still a god number of tarpon mixed in with the snook.  Other inshore action has been on the slower side.  

SURF/PIER-  Dirty water and rough conditions kept surf fishing a bit slow.  Still a fair amount of mullet coming down the beach: Still a few tarpon and snook mixed in with them, but bluefish are starting to make up a bulk of the action.  Definitely time to start moving away from the soft plastics on the beach and moving towards spoons and plugs.  The Spanish Mackerel have been biting very good at the Juno Beach Pier.  A bobber rig with a Clark spoon is a solid choice for the macs.  A few redfish were caught at the pier in the dirty water as well this week.  Pompano (mostly shorts) have also been around in good numbers this week.  A bright colored Doc's Goofy jig is the lure of choice for the pomps.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts to around 25 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A slight chance of showers. A slight chance of tstms.

OFFSHORE-  Weather report has bounced around a bit; but it looks like the later part of the weekend will end up being fishable.  Pretty good dolphin reports before the weather turned on us this week.  A bulk of the dolphin came in 300-500' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to just north of Jupiter Inlet.  Trolling small ballyhoo and bonita strips seemed to be as good of method as any for picking up the dolphin.  Most of the dolphin are in the 5-10lb range, with a handful of bigger gaffers in the mix as well.  Pretty good fall blackfin reports in 300' of water as well; with a mid size vertical jig working great on the tuna.  Small trolling feathers are also a good choice for the blackfin.  A handful of wahoo around as well.  No snapper reports to speak of, but it is likely that the big muttons will be in feeding heavily on the shallow reef.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains very very good inshore right now.  Lots of mullet inshore (mostly smaller finger mullet) and the snook are close behind; as are a good number of mid sized tarpon and jacks.  During the day look for mullet schools to be in protected coves and areas without a huge amount of boat traffic.  At night those schools will be more prone to move more freely up on the surface.  Look for the snook and tarpon to be staged at likely ambush spots (Seawalls, bridges, boat docks, etc), waiting for the tide to push the mullet to them.  Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil and Mag Darters are two great lure choices right now for fishing around the mullet schools.  Snapper fishing remains very strong in Jupiter Inlet right now.  It's primarily mangrove snapper, but could still be a few mutton snapper around from the storm.  

SURF/PIER-  Before the wind started blowing we had been seeing a nice push of mullet.  Keep your fingers crossed that they didn't all get pushed past us too quick.  It doesn't seem like that is the case though; and hopefully as the surf lays down the good tarpon and snook fishing continues along the beach.  Best action has been early in the morning and then late again in the afternoon;  with some mid day pop offs as well.   A live mullet fished on the edge or under the schools is a good way to go.  For Lures the 8" NLBN Straight Tail has been the number one lure of choice.  The only problem with the NLBN is...the bluefish are showing up and making quick work of the soft plastics!  The Juno Beach Pier (not sure at time of writing; but hoping will reopen Friday) has had a solid Spanish Mackerel bite.  A few pompano starting to show up as well.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...W SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft, occasionally to 9 ft. Period 10 seconds. N swell 3 to 6 ft. Intracoastal waters light chop.

​SAT...N winds 5 to 10 kt becoming NE in the evening. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Intracoastal waters a light chop. A slight chance of showers and tstms.

Great wahoo caught last weekend by Trish Brown off of Juno. 

OFFSHORE-  Dolphin fishing was good early in the week, with a fair amount of fish in 600-900' of water. Drifting and chunking on weedlines has been effective, as has trolling a spread of the usual smaller baits (strips, squid, small jetheads). Conditions do look like they are about to totally change going into the weekend; with a run way offshore not being quite as friendly as earlier in the week.  With that said, we could see a really nice sailfish bite pop off this weekend.  North-Northeast winds and some swells could provide for some early (or as the case maybe this summer...late) season tailers and good kite fishing conditions. The dolphin that have been offshore will likely be in the same 200-300' range as the sailfish as well.  Fair number of small blackfin tuna around this week.  Small trolling feathers (Williamson Flash Feather or Tormenter Mini Tuna Dart) are a good way to go for the football sized tuna.  Bottom fishing reports remain fair, with a handful of good mutton and yellowtail snapper around. 

INSHORE-  Snook fishing has been good this week; it just takes some time and effort to get them dialed in.  Fishing pressure has been high, so it also takes a little creativity and/or luck to find a spot not filled up with people.  Finger mullet, along with a handful of silvers, have started to push inshore in good numbers.  The snook, and tarpon, will be keyed in nicely on them.  Look for the best action to be during lowlight periods of the day or at night.  The mullet will move more and on the surface at these times making them easier for you...and the fish to find.  A live mullet fished on the outside edge of the school, or sometimes underneath is a good way go.  If your throwing lures the small Yo-Zuri Mag Darter or Topknock Pencil will be a good way to go.   With a building swell on the beach, it is likely that the mullet could be pushed inshore in big numbers this weekend.  In other words...GO FISHING; its likely going to go off!  

SURF/PIER-  The mullet run has grabbed everybody's attention this week...and the fishing has been good when you find them!  The early part of the mullet run attracts the most snook and tarpon so don't wait around too long to try and find them.  A live mullet fished on the edge of the pods is always going to be a good choice; for lures try a good casting lure like a Yo-Zuri Longcast minnow. A building swell this weekend is going to make surf fishing tough (at least in spots), but as long as the water doesn't go to complete garbage the fish will no doubt be around.  The Juno Beach Pier has been good this week with a fair number of snook, Spanish Mackerel, ladyfish, and blue runners around.  The Pier has still been holding a decent amount of sabiki bait (pilchards and cigar minnows), but hard to say if that will still last through the weekend.
