OFFSHORE- Some good fishing reports offshore this week (amazing what a little weather window will do!). Dolphin fishing was good in 200-500' of water. Most of the dolphin were 5-10lbs, with a handful of bigger fish in the mix. Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains the best bet for the dolphin. Sailfish action has been good in 150-250' of water. Live baits under the kite are by far the best bet for the sailfish. A live bait under the kite will also work on a passing dolphin. Wahoo fishing has been very good this week on the moon. A seawitch and bonita strip behind the planer is a solid choice for the wahoo. A Nomad DTX minnow is also a solid choice for the wahoo. Bottom fishing bite was good as well. A mixture of yellowtail, mutton, and mangrove snapper around. INSHORE- A little bit slower inshore this week. Snook fishing remains fair, but it is slowing down a bit. The full moon definitely has the snook feeding better at night. Bridges with a defined shadow line and docklights will be the best bet for the snook. With the water still being a bit off colored both incoming/outgoing tides will produce; the water just needs to be moving. Still been a decent bite on the jig and bigger swimbaits; but the shrimp jig is really starting to produce as well. Starting to see a few more sheepshead show up inshore, along with a small scattering of black drum. The drum and sheepshead reports have been a little better to the north of us (Stuart/Jensen). A handful of scattered jacks (including some big ones) cruising ICW seawalls this week. Best action on the jacks will be early morning and late afternoon. A loud noisy topwater or NLBN Lil' Mullet is hard to beat for the jacks. SURF/PIER- Weather and sea conditions improved a bit this week, and so did the fishing. Pompano action picked up along Juno/Jupiter Beach. It wasn't huge numbers, but those spending some time on the beach got a handful of bites from the pompano. Sandfleas and Fishbites have been the bait of choice for the pomps. The Juno Beach Pier has had a good Spanish Mackerel bite, along with a good number of smaller jacks. Small swimming plugs and diamond jigs have been a solid lure choice for the mackerel and jacks. Croaker/whiting bite has been good on small pieces of fresh shrimp. Conditions look good for the bluefish to bite this weekend. A loud noisy popper, GT Ice Cream, or Silver spoon is a solid lure choice for the bluefish. Lots of blacktop sharks along the beach.
