Weekend Fishing Outlook (10/2-10/4/15)

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing slowed a little this week, but did not go away completely by any means.  Most fish remain on the deeper side, with catch reports starting around 600' and moving out from that point.   Weather forecast (not the greatest, but looks fishable...just be careful!) for the weekend should ultimately help to push the dolphin in a little closer.  Sailfish action has improved over the past couple days, and may be quite good this weekend with the arrival of the first early season front.  A few scattered kingfish are being caught along the 120' ledge on live bait.  The full moon did not bring quite the wahoo bite that many were hoping for, but a few were caught.  Should still be a few wahoo around to be caught this weekend.  Snapper fishing remains very good in along the reef.  Good numbers of mutton, yellowtails, and mangrove snapper are being caught drifting with sardines. 

INSHORE- The mullet run is in full effect right now, and the fish are around...make sure you go if you can!  The snook and tarpon are feeding heavily on the mullet schools, especially at night.  Key ambush points like docks, bridge fenders, and seawalls are a good place to start the search; but don't be afraid to move around with schools of traveling mullet.  Jacks and ladyfish are also in the mix, and provide great rod bending action when the more glamorous species don't want to play.  Mangrove snapper are still hanging around the bridges at night.  

SURF/PIER-  Lots of good stuff going on along the beach right now.  The mullet are still coming down in good waves and the fish are with them!  God numbers of tarpon and snook are still along the beach.  Low light periods tend to be the best time to get the snook and tarpon.  As the sun comes up the fast striking bluefish, ladyfish, jacks, and mackerel tend to beat the lazy snook and tarpon to the bait.  A silver spoon is a great lure choice along the beach right now for catching a little bit of everything.  The pompano (although they are all very small!) are showing up in good numbers.  Sharks are also showing up in good numbers.  Lots of great action along the beach right now!
