OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing remained very good this week. Best depth range remained in the 500-700' range for the most part. Best depth has bounced around a bit depending on weather conditions. Pretty good overall size on the dolphin, with a good number of them at least requiring a small gaff to bring them in the boat. Trolling bonita strips and squid has been the go to choice for the dolphin. North wind would/could/should fire up the sailfish bite this weekend. Ideal looking conditions this weekend to get the kites out, dusted off, and some baits flying. Don't be surprised if the dolphin end up mixed in with the dolphin in 150-250' of water. Small goggle eyes and blue runners will be the best bet for the sailfish and the dolphin. A handful of really nice Blackfin Tuna in the same areas as well. A couple wahoo reports this week, but no big numbers to speak of. Bottom fishing slowed down this week, but still a few decent snapper reports.
INSHORE- The mullet are thinning out a bit inshore, but still good fishing overall. Snook fishing remains the highlight, but a good number of jacks and tarpon in the mix as well. The snook have been keyed in on small mullet pods along good ambush points and docks during the day; and locked onto the bridges at night. The flare hawk bite remains pretty insane right now; as does the topwater bite. The Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil and Top Knock are just absolutely crushing it these days at night and during lowlight periods of the day. The Hobe Sound Flats perked up a little more this week. The action will only continue to improve up that way as we move into the later fall/winter. SURF/PIER- Surf action slowed a bit this week, but overall remains pretty good. Still some mullet pods coming through; and the snook, tarpon, and sharks are close behind them. With the stretch of weather we've had the smaller baits (Pilchards, cigar minnows, etc) are still around as well, so lots of activity up and down the beach. The Juno Beach Pier remains very good with Spanish Mackerel, Ladyfish, Jacks, Blue Runners, and more all around. Early season Pompano action remains good. Lots of small fish, but a fair number of keepers mixed in to make it worthwhile. The sharks remain around in very good numbers...so reel them in quick!
