OFFSHORE-  Less than ideal weather and a rough ocean has kept reports to a minimum this week.  Not going to be especially calm this weekend; but conditions do look good for the sailfish to bite.  Wouldn't be surprising to hear about a good number of releases and good numbers of sailfish tailing down the waves.  Live goggle eyes and small blue runners under the kite will be top bait choice for the sails.  Expect a few big dolphin to be mixed in with the sailfish.  Blackfin Tuna action remains good in 200-300' of water.  Kingfish have filled back in along the 120' ledge in pretty good numbers.  Bottom fishing reports were slow again this week thanks to the weather.  It is time for the rudder fish to show up, but no great reports yet.  A handful of cobia reports have trickled in over the past few weeks from the bottom; about time for them to start showing up in little better numbers anytime.      

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains a bit tough inshore this week, and cooler temps headed into the weekend won't make for any big improvements on that front.  While a few snook have been biting during the day in the Loxhatchee River on mullet(including a handful of big ones); the best bite will be at night around the bridges.  Shrimp jig has still been a solid lure choice for the snook at night.  Sheepshead action slowed again inshore, but still a handful of them around.  Live shrimp is the top bait choice for them.  Have started to hear about a few more big jacks cruising around the ICW.    

SURF/PIER-  Tough conditions this week have kept reports to a minimum; and conditions don't look to improve much until later in the weekend.  As conditions start to settle down expect a good bite on the pompano.  Early morning and late afternoon have been the best bet for the pompano.  FishBites, fresh shrimp, and sandfleas remain the top bait choice for the pomps.  The pompano have also been biting Doc's Goofy Jigs from the Juno Beach Pier.  A few schools of bluefish still around; though they are starting to thin out a bit.  Jack schools are also starting to show up as well.  The snook have begun to make an early season showing at the Juno Beach Pier.  As the weather warms up more and more will start to show up.

Spring is coming and we are ready for it with a FRESH new selection of JYG Pro Slow Pitch Jigs!!! Some awesome new sizes and colors; come check them out!!!

OFFSHORE-  Bit of a bumpy forecast for the upcoming weekend.  Conditions look good for a strong sailfish bite on Friday and Saturday.  A scattered pick on the sailfish throughout the week.  A handful of dolphin reports this week in 300-500' of water.  Blackfin tuna action remains good up to the north (Push Button Hill), with a fair number of tuna scattered up and down the line in 200-300' of water as well.  Kingfish have been scattered along the 120' ledge.  Bottom reports were a bit slow this week.  

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing has been a bit slow this week.  Snook fishing remains a bit slow, but should improve as the weather warms.  Best snook has been at night around the bridges.  Outgoing tide will generally produce the best action on the snook.  Sheepshead have started to thin out; slowly starting to be replaced by mangrove snapper.  

SURF/PIER-  Pompano fishing picked back up this week, with a few good schools moving through.  Best action on the pompano has been early morning; with sand fleas and FishBites working well.  The arrival of some solid schools of pompano have brought in another good wave of blacktip sharks.  Bluefish action slowed way don his week, with only a few around.  Croaker and whiting have been biting well on small pieces of fresh shrimp.  Small hooks and minimal terminal tackle are the way to go for the croaker.  A few snook have been biting at the Juno Beach Pier.  Dead sardines and small live croakers are the way to go for the snook. 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 8 seconds and N 3 ft at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. A chance of showers.

SAT...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: N 4 ft at 8 seconds and NE 3 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers likely with a chance of tstms.

SUN...SE winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: SE 3 ft at 5 seconds and NE 3 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. Showers likely with a chance of tstms.

OFFSHORE-  Strong east wind has kept the ocean rough and reports to a minimum this week.  Sailfish action remains good, with boats fighting through the conditions all seeming to get at least a few chances, and some boats seeing ten or more fish.  The bite has bounced around; but 120-150' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to just north of Jupiter Inlet remains a consistent bet for the sailfish.  A handful of dolphin mixed in with the sailfish, along with a wahoo or two.  Kingfish action remains fair along the 120' ledge.  Bottom fishing reports were slim this week, but it is about time for the rudder fish and cobra to start showing up on the bottom. 

INSHORE-  Inshore reports have not been very good this week.  Snook fishing has been a little off, with even hardcore anglers struggling along.  A few snook biting around the bridges at night, but no solid numbers to speak of.  The sheepshead have been biting fair inshore, but are starting to slow a bit.  The sheepshead will soon start to be replaced with mangrove snapper inshore.  Live shrimp is a solid bait choice for both of them.  

SURF/PIER-  Strong east winds have made the fishing tough this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Bluefish action was good early in the week; but has fallen off later in the week.  A few schools of jacks have been cruising by, but have overall been tricky to get to eat.  A few snook have started to show up at the pier, with dead sardines fished patiently on the bottom the best bait choice.  It's boring fishing, but is the best way to go for an early season bite.  No great pompano reports this week, but it is time for some reel numbers to start showing up.  Spinner shark action remains good along the beach.  A loud noisy topwater plug is an extremely fun way to target the sharks.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: E 4 ft at 5 seconds and N 1 foot at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas.

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action has been good this week; with a good number of fish being caught from the Juno Beach Pier to just north of Jupiter Inlet.  The best depth has been 150-200' depending on the conditions.  Live goggle eyes under the kite will be hard to beat for the sailfish.  Expect a few nice dolphin to be mixed in with the sailfish in the same depths.  Kingfish have been scattered along the 120' ledge in good numbers; with some solid size smokers in the mix.  Blackfin Tuna action remains good up to the north; with solid numbers continuing to be caught off Push Button Hill.  Bottom fishing has been a bit slow this week, but a few snapper around for those putting the time in.  

INSHORE-  Overall the fishing has been a bit tough inshore.  Snook fishing has been tough; but those spending the time not eh water have been catching a few fish.  Look for the best action on the snook to come at night, especially on the outgoing tide.  Sheepshead action slowed a bit this week, but still a fair number around.  Live shrimp has been the best bait choice for the sheepshead.    

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier has been alive this week; with a lot of fish around.  A bulk of the action has been bluefish, including some big ones.  A GT Ice Cream or JYG Pro Vyper casting jig have been great lure choices for the bluefish.  The Juno Beach Pier has also had a lot of jacks cruising by, including some bruiser size fish.  A Rapala X-Rap or Yo-Zuri Mag Speed have been great lure choices for the passing jack schools.  Pompano action has been a bit slow this week, with only a few scattered fish around.  Conditions headed into the weekend look decent for the pomps.  Strong bite on croakers and whiting; with fresh shrimp remaining the top bait choice. 

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...S winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: SE 2 ft at 4 seconds and W 1 foot at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

Here's a happy Topwater Charters (topwaterchartersjupiter.com) customer with a great, and very random, catch for Jupiter!

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action has picked up as the week goes on, with a handful of boats releasing five or more.  Best bite seems to be south of Lake Worth Inlet; but a fair pick going on north of the inlet as well.  Not the most "ideal" sailfishes conditions headed into the weekend; but expect some good numbers ahead of a cold front early ext week.  No dolphin reports to speak of this week; but conditions do look like they could bite this weekend.  A light south wind will hopefully get some dolphin swimming up our way.  Trolling bonita strips and squid in 300-500' of water will likely produce some dolphin.  Look for the fish to be on any noticeable color changes, current rips, or on floating debris.  Along the 120' ledge the kingfish have been around in scattered schools, including some good size fish.  Juno Pier to Jupiter Inlet has had a fair pick of the kings, especially early in the morning.  A decent assortment of snapper on the bottom.  Sounds like the yellowtail and mangroves have been making up a bulk of the catch, with a mutton or two in the mix.  Sardines will be the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing improved a bit this week with warmer weather; and should remain good through the weekend ahead of a cold front early next week.  Snook continue to bite best at night, especially around the bridges.  Outgoing tide will likely be the best bet; but can vary depending on location.  Sheepshead action remains fairly good inshore, with live shrimp being the top bait choice for them.  The ICW north of Jupiter has been holding some small jacks and ladyfish, with the very occasional pompano mixed in.  

SURF/PIER-  Pompano reports slowed down this week; but conditions do look good for a push of fish to come through this weekend.  Along the beach sand fleas and Fishbites have been producing the best, with clams starting to get some play as well.  The same baits work well on the Juno Beach Pier; with bright colored Doc's Goofy Jigs and JYG Pro Mycro Jigs working well.  The pompano will likely bite best early morning and late afternoon. Bluefish action remains good along the beach and on the Juno Beach Pier as well.  GT Ice Creams and JYG Pro Vyper casting jigs have both been slid choices for the bluefish.  Spanish Mackerel have been in and out at the Pier; biting white crappie jigs pretty good when they show up.  Croaker and whiting continue to bite very well in close.  Fresh shrimp remains the bait of choice for them.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: SE 2 ft at 4 seconds and NE 2 ft at 12 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SAT...SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: SE 2 ft at 4 seconds and NW 1 foot at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SUN...SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: W 2 ft at 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers in the afternoon.

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action early in the week was absolutely on fire, with numerous boats getting ten plus chances.  The bite was good up and down the line; with some of the best action coming from the Lake Worth Pier up to Palm Beach Inlet.  Depth bounced around a bit; but 150-225' remains a fairly consistent depth.  Per usual; a frisky live goggle eye under the kite is the best way to go for the sailfish.  A handful of good size dolphin mixed in with the sailfish; and they are just as happy to chase down the same goggle eye under the kite.  Mid week has seen a good little bite on the wahoo, with a handful of 15-25lb fish hitting the dock.  A switch and bonita strip  combo behind the planer is the way to go for the wahoo.  The wahoo seem to be hanging in best numbers right along the 120' ledge.  Bottom fishing also heated up a bit later into the week.  A good mixture of snapper around, along with a few cobia.  Best action on the bottom seems to be coming in the 90ish foot range.  Sardines and squid are the bait of choice on the bottom.  

INSHORE-  Snook fishing improved a bit this week with slightly warmer weather.  The snook have been hitting the shrimp jig at night around the bridges, especially on the outgoing tide.  Daytime snook action remains a bit tough, but should start to improve as the temps continue to rise.  Sheepshead action remains fairly good inshore right now.  Small to medium size live shrimp are the top bait choice for the sheepshead.  The jacks have thinned out of Palm Beach Inlet, but still a few stragglers around.  

SURF/PIER-  Some of the best pompano action of the year went down this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier as well.  Best bite for the pompano seems to be later in the afternoon.  Along the beach sandfleas and FishBItes are the top bait choice.   At the Juno Beach Pier the same baits work on the bottom, while a bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig will also catch the pompano well.  Bluefish have still been around in fair numbers, along with a few scattered Spanish Mackerel.  Calm conditions towards the end of the week had the croaker and whiting biting well in close.  Small live shrimp or pieces of fresh shrimp are the top bait choice.    

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N winds 5 to 10 kt, increasing to 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 3 ft at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. .

Snook love that JYG Pro Shrymp...Cooper sneaking a solid one in after work

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action was very good this week for those making it out.  The cold weather had the sailfish snapping; with numerous boats posting double digit days.  Live goggle eyes under the kite remain the best bet for the sailfish; but don't overlook pilchards or threadfins on the flats for a lot of bites as well.  A handful of good size dolphin have been mixed in with the sailfish.  Good bite from south of Palm Beach Inlet up to north of the Juno Beach Pier, with the best depth holding in 150-250' for the most part.  A scattering of kingfish along the 120' ledge this week.  Bottom fishing has been a bit slow this week.  A handful of snapper around, but nothing crazy to speak of.   

INSHORE-  Cold weather has the snook bite slowed way down.  A few bites from the snook for those really putting the time and effort in; but overall a tough bite.  Cooler weather again for the weekend will have the snook slow back down again as well.  The cool weather has had a few bluefish and jacks moving around inshore; along with a few pompano as well.  Sheepshead action has been good inshore; though the big numbers of sheepshead have not been holding in Palm Beach Inlet as expected.  Speaking of Palm Beach Inlet; the jacks have been pushing through in good numbers.  

SURF/PIER-  The pompano finally showed up in some decent numbers this week.  The pompano were biting along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier as well.  From the beach the pomps have been snapping on sand fleas, fresh shrimp, and FishBites.  On the Juno Beach Pier the pompano have been biting the same baits, and also smacking bright colored Doc's Goofy Jigs.  The bluefish have been around this week in solid numbers.  The Juno Beach Pier has been good for the bluefish; with GT Ice Creams and JYG Pro Vyper jigs being the top lure choices.  A few Spanish Mackerel around the Juno Beach Pier this week as well.  Overall a good amount of life around this week.  Hoping it hold up headed into the weekend.   

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NW winds 20 to 25 kt, diminishing to 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon. Seas 6 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: N 8 ft at 8 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

SAT...NW winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: NW 7 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

Another happy customer with Captain Eric of County Line Charters!
(www.countylinecharters.com​)

OFFSHORE-  Another week of scattered sailfish action; with boats trolling up to the north picking away at a few sails and the live baiters getting chances south of Jupiter Inlet.  A few dolphin have been mixed in with the sailfish, along with the occasional wahoo and blackfin tuna.  Most of the live bait action has been from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet in 150-225' of water.  Live goggle eyes under the kite are the baits of choice, but small blue runners will get some attention as well.  The full moon is coming up in a few days; which should have the wahoo biting a little better.  No bottom fishing reports to speak of this week.    

INSHORE-  Not exactly ideal weather for the opening of snook season (Season opens Sunday 2/1) this weekend.  The cold weather could help get the sheepshead, pompano, and possibly even a triple tail or two biting though.  Sounds like the Loxahatchee and Jupiter ICW have had a few pompano around; this hard cold front could help push a few more in.  A Doc's Goofy Jig is a great way to go for the pompano; as well as ladyfish and jacks.   

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier had a few fish around this week; with a fair number of bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and jacks cruising through in waves.  The Bluefish have been hanging out a decent way out from the pier; so a good casting lure like a GT Ice Cream or JYG Pro Vyper continue to work well.  The hope is this front gets a good push of pompano headed this way.  By the looks of the wind forecast...gonna need a heavy Goofy Jig to get down to them.  Blacktip sharks have been cruising through in good numbers.  A loud noisy topwater is a super fun way to go for the blacktips.       

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...E winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming N in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft. Wave Detail: NE 3 ft at 7 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers.

SAT...W winds 20 to 25 kt, increasing to 25 to 35 kt in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft, building to 5 to 7 ft, occasionally to 9 ft in the afternoon. Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 6 seconds and NE 1 foot at 9 seconds, becoming NW 7 ft at 6 seconds and NE 1 foot at 9 seconds. Intracoastal waters rough in exposed areas. A chance of showers.

SUN...NW winds 30 to 40 kt, diminishing to 25 to 30 kt in the afternoon. Seas 10 to 14 ft, occasionally to 18 ft. Wave Detail: NW 14 ft at 10 seconds. Intracoastal waters extremely rough in exposed areas.

OFFSHORE-  Sailfish action picked up a bit this week from Palm Beach to Jupiter Inlet.  No huge release numbers; but most boats putting the time in have at least been seeing a few fish. Conditions do look decent for the sails headed into Friday and Saturday.  A few dolphin mixed in with the sailfish, along with a few scattered Blackfin Tuna.   Most of the action has been in 150-250' of water.  Not a lot of bottom reports this week, but Friday and Saturday are shaping up to be decent looking days to give it a try.   

INSHORE-  Inshore action remains on the slower side this week.  Catch and release snook fishing remains tough.  A few fish around the bridges for those really putting the time in; but it's a grind at best.  A few sheepshead inshore.  The sheepshead have not been holding in Palm Beach Inlet yet, have to start showing up soon.  

SURF/PIER-  The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce a good bite on the croaker and whiting.  Small pieces of shrimp are the top bait choice for the croaker and whiting.  A decent scattering of bluefish hanging around the pier this week as well.  A large metal casting jig (Like the new JYG Pro Vyper) or GT Ice Cream is the way to go for the bluefish.  A couple schools of jacks have cruised by the pier as well.  Pompano reports remain on the slow side.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...NE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Wave Detail: N 2 ft at 6 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop. A chance of showers in the morning.

SAT...E winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft. Wave Detail: N 2 ft at 5 seconds. Intracoastal waters light chop.

SUN...SW winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: S 4 ft at 5 seconds and N 3 ft at 9 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

OFFSHORE-  Tough fishing offshore this week, with very few reports.  The general hope is that the cold front passing through Thursday gets the sailfish fired up.  Conditions are looking ideal for Friday and pretty good for Saturday as well....time will tell if they want to bite!  Bluewater Movements "Operation Sailfish" Tournament, out of Sailfish Marina, is Friday and Saturday and could possible produce some good numbers.  A few blackfin tuna reports in 250-300' of water this week.  Bottom fishing reports seemed slow this week.  

INSHORE-  Relatively tough fishing inshore this week.  Sounds like a few snook were biting ahead of the cold front.  Sheepshead action seemed to improve a bit, along with a few black drum.  Still getting a few pompano reports from Sailfish Flats in Stuart.  

SURF/PIER-  Not much to speak of on the beach this week.  The croaker and whiting have been providing the best action, especially at the Juno Beach Pier.  Live shrimp remain the top bait choice for the croaker and whiting.  No pompano reports to speak of.  A stray bluefish or two is possible.  A lot of hope that the cold front helps push some fish this way.  

NOAA MARINE WEATHER:
FRI...N winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt, becoming E in the afternoon. Seas 5 to 8 ft, occasionally to 10 ft. Wave Detail: N 8 ft at 9 seconds and NW 7 ft at 9 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.
