OFFSHORE- Offshore reports were pretty slim this week due to the weather. Conditions do look like the sailfish could bite this weekend. Look for the sailfish to be in 120-250' of water; and the stretch from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet is never a bad section to start the search. As always look for current rips, color changes, and schools of bait and the sailfish shouldn't be too far away. With the east wind in the forecast should find a decent number of dolphin in the same area as the sailfish as well. Live goggle eyes or small blue runners under the kite will be a good way to go for both the sails and bigger dolphin. Keep a smaller livebait, or even a dead bait, around for any smaller dolphin that may cruise by. Pretty slim reports on the bottom this week, but it does sound like a few cobia have been around.
INSHORE- Snook fishing reports slowed a bit this week, but overall remains your best inshore bet. Still some schools of mullet around, and if you hit the right tide/time/location combo (of course that's the hard part...) the snook fishing has been pretty good. Swimming plugs (Rapala X-Raps, Yo-Zuri Mag Darters, and Daiwa SP minnows), Flair Hawks, and of course live mullet have all been good choices for the snook. The bridge bite has been fair as well for the snook. It's not full on shrimp jig season just yet...but it is getting close! Other inshore action remains a bit spotty at best. SURF/PIER- Surf conditions were less than ideal, and it reflected in slower fishing than you would expect for this time of year. A handful of pompano reports, but no good numbers to speak of. Bluefish and Spanish Mac action remained spotty at best as well. Palm Beach Inlet did have a day or two that the jacks came through pretty good. Overall pretty tough fishing the past week...hoping for better for the weekend! NOAA MARINE FORECAST: FRIDAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with occasional seas to 6 feet.
