OFFSHORE- Another relatively nice forecast for this time of year coming up this weekend. Sailfish action has started to improve locally, with most boats putting the kites out seeing at least a fish or two. Most of the sailfish have been in 150-225' of water depending on the conditions. Dolphin, including some big enough to need a gaff on, will be mixed in with the sailfish in the same general area. Wahoo reports left a little to be desired on the moon last weekend, though a fair number did get caught down south. Snapper fishing seems to have picked up on the bottom. Some good yellowtail reports this week in 90' of water, along with some decent vermillion catches out a little deeper. A mixed bag assortment of lane snapper and grunts seemed to be coming off the bottom as well this week. INSHORE- Snook fishing was a bit tougher this week with cooler water temps, but still the best beer inshore. During the day the snook will really start laying up on dark mud bottoms to warm up. At night the snook have been feeding on outgoing tide around the bridges. The snook's metabolism hasn't slowed down much yet; so an assortment of flair hawks, bigger swimbaits, and shrimp jigs are all solid choices for the snook. During the day live mullet remain a top choice for the snook. Cooler water has helped get an assortment of smaller black drum and sheepshead biting inshore as well. Live shrimp remains a top choice for both the sheepshead and drum. The cooler weather should also start to get a little more life moving around on the Munyon Island and Hobe Sound Flats. SURF/PIER- Pompano reports have been good again this week both along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier. Best action on the pomps has been early morning, and then another decent bite later in the afternoon. The usual assortment of baits (Sandfleas, clams, fresh shrimp, FishBites, and Fishgum) have all been working on the beach for the pompano. The same baits are catching them on the Juno Beach Pier; as well as some decent numbers being caught on Doc's Goofy Jigs. Bright colored jigs (char, pink, orange, and yellow) seem to be producing the best action so far. A fair number of small bluefish have been caught on cut sardines and mullet. Some decent numbers of small jacks around as well. Croaker and whiting action remains good, with fresh pieces of shrimp being the bait of choice. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
