Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. Somehow the fishing report slipped my mind (I never even thought about it once yesterday!!!) with everything going on. OFFSHORE- Still a scattering of dolphin offshore, with most of them coming in 200-400' of water. It remains smaller packs of fish for the most part. with a bigger fish or two in the mix. If your targeting dolphin specifically try trolling smaller baits (bonita strips and squid or a small trolling lure like a Ballyhood All-Star). Sailfish action continues to improve in 120-200' of water. Live baits under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish, but don't be too surprised when a nice dolphin comes up and takes a shot at that expensive goggle eye intended for a sailfish. Blackfin tuna remain mixed in with the sailfish and dolphin in good numbers. Wahoo action slowed down a lot this week, but still a decent number caught. Snapper fishing was fair this week, with the usual assortment of yellowtails, mutton, and occasional mangrove in 60-120' of water. Current wa s a touch slower as well so some vermilion came up in 180-300' of water as well. INSHORE- Snook fishing remains good inshore. Still a fair number of mullet hanging around keeping the snook fired up on bigger baits. The Loxahatchee River continues to produce a few good ones during the day, while the bridges are the way to go at night. The bridge bite remains a mixture of big and small baits; with flair hawks and swimbaits producing, as well as smaller shrimp jigs. The jacks have been in Palm Beach Inlet in good numbers this week. A lot of small to medium jacks, with a few bruisers in the mix as well. The sheepshead and black drum are starting to bite better up north (Stuart/Jensen), with a few showing up locally as well. SURF/PIER- Despite nice conditions most of the week; fishing was a little slower along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week. Pompano bit good early n the week for a day or two, and then slowed down drastically. Still; most people putting in the time on the beach have been catching a pompano or two (Reel them in quick...the sharks are showing back up in bigger numbers!). Spanish Mackerel have been around in decent numbers. Small flashy metal jigs, Clark Spoons, and Flash Minnows have been good lure choices for the Mackerel. A good numbers of jacks (Mostly 2-5 pounders) along the beach; with a few scattered bluefish as well. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: TODAY...W winds around 5 kt.
