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. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft, occasionally to 5 ft.
