OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing was good again this week, with a good number of fish coming in from 300-500' of water. Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a great way to go for the dolphin. Strong E/NE winds this week will make it a challenge to get offshore; but it should help push another round of dolphin in closer. Look for the passing front to help fire up an early season sailfish bite. Water conditions finally improved in along the edge this week. With better conditions came a better snapper bite; with a mix of yellowtail and mutton snapper coming in. INSHORE- Snook fishing remains good inshore. Best snook action has been around the bridges at night and first thing in the morning. A topwater or shallow running plug has been good when the fish are fired up on top. When the snook aren't u high in the water column a flair hawk or straight tail soft plastic (JYG Y-Tail or NLBN Straight Tail) have been a great way to go. Solid reports of mullet moving down the ICW continue to come in. For the most part a lot of the schools haven't been holding a lot of fish. Takes some luck to find a school being harassed by a hungry jack, snook, or tarpon. SURF/PIER- A combination of calmer surf and better water early in the week let better fishing along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier (Though unfortunately those conditions don't look to hold out headed into the weekend). Action seemed to be best on the Juno Beach Pier this week; though those putting the time in on the sand have been catching a few fish as well. The Pier had a handful of Spanish Mackerel and small jacks around. The big news this week though was a nice little push of pompano; including some good size fish. A few pompano were caught on Doc's Goofy Jig; but seemed to be a better number caught on bait for the most part. Sounds like a few bluefish started to show up; with popular opinion being that a good push of blues will come behind the passing cool front this weekend.
