Weekend Fishing Outlook (10/16-10/18/2015)

OFFSHORE-  Looks like it gets a little sporty towards the end of the weekend, so if your looking to get offshore try and do it early.  Northeast winds will make for some fun fishing most likely, but it will most likely be on the bumpy side.  Look for the dolphin bite to move inside of 500' of water if the weather forecast holds.  The last few weeks have seen some good dolphin fishing, and this is one of those weather weekends that will no doubt produce some BIG dolphin for those who can make it out.  Trolling an assortment of ballyhoo, strips, and jet head lures will be a good choice for the dolphin.,  This should  be a good weekend for those anglers interested in targeting sailfish.  Kite fishing with live blue runners or goggle eyes will be a good choice in 120-300' of water.  Pay special attention to hard edges, color changes, or large areas of bait...the sailfish won't be far behind!  Mixed in with the sails will no doubt be a few dolphin, a stray kingfish or two, maybe a wahoo, and the occasional blackfin tuna or cobia.  Snapper fishing has slowed a bit, but those spending time with baits on the bottom are finding some muttons and yellowtails.

INSHORE-  The mullet run, which had seemed to taper off a bit, has kicked back up into high gear for the Jupiter/Loxahatchee River area over the past few days.  Huge schools of fingers have pushed back in, and the snook and tarpon are not at all far behind.  Ladyfish, jacks, and even a few redfish are all also taking advantage of the endless buffet.  Best action remains during low light periods of the day and at night.  When you find yourself in the middle of hug bait schools getting a bite can seem almost impossible.  Keep your baits well separated from the school, underneath, or try a fresh dead bait for a little different look.  The Munyon Island/MaCarthur area is also stacked with finger mullet.  Lots of good action inshore right now, and when you find the big mullet schools its also a great show!

SURF/PIER- Surf action has been great most of the week, and the northeast wind in the forecast should help make it even better.  Lots of action for those chunking silver spoons along the surf early in the morning and late in the afternoon.  Bluefish, ladyfish, spanish mackerel, and jacks make up a bulk of the action; but a big tarpon, shark, or snook in between will no doubt keep the constant action that much more exciting.  Pompano action was good later in the wok, with some good size keepers being caught from the Juno Beach Pier and surrounding beaches.  The Juno Beach Pier also saw a handful of redfish caught this week, with a few falling in the right slot to take home for dinner.  If the fish have the minnows rounded up along the beach try tossing a "bobber rig" with a clark spoon for fun exciting action (great for kids!).  Really good fishing out their right now, go if you have the chance!

SHOP UPDATE- We are introducing a new daily fishing report/info update.  It will be a recorded phone message (try to keep it to the point and between a minute or two) available anytime at (561) 627-1556, and may also from time to time appear on our social media pages.  Much like a surf report, it'll be a quick check on whats going on.  Feel free to call it and check it out!

We do have a small batch of fresh ballyhoo just in, live shrimp supply is pretty good, and we should have live pinfish again tomorrow (10/16) afternoon.
