OFFSHORE- Fishing was very good offshore this week, with a variety of reports coming in. Dolphin reports have been good in 200-500' of water. Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a great way to go for the dolphin. The dolphin for the most part have been in small packs and out roaming. Finding current rips, floating debris, or large areas of flying fish will increase your odds on the dolphin. Sailfish action improved this week in 120-250' of water. Live goggle eyes or blue runners (which both are in very short supply right now) under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish. Good numbers of sails released this week, with a couple of boats seeing double digits. Wahoo fishing was absolutely insane early in the week. Just about everyone pulling a planer and bonita strip or Nomad DTX minnow had a wahoo bite, with a lot of boats getting multiple shots. Early morning, late afternoon, and tide changes will be the best bet for the wahoo. Bottom fishing has been good this week. A nice amount of yellowtail snapper being caught, with a few muttons in the mix as well. A mixture of porgies, grunts, and other assorted species in the mix as well on the bottom. INSHORE- Snook fishing was very good inshore this week ahead of the front. Still a decent number of medium size mullet around, and the snook have been all over them. Docks and seawalls with some current on them will be the best spot to look for snook during the day. At night the snook have been around the bridges in good numbers. The top of the outgoing tide seems to be working best for the snook. Medium sized swimbaits and shrimp jigs have been working well for the snook around the bridge. Sheepshead and black drum are biting a little better this week with cooler water. Live shrimp is a solid bait choice for both of them. A few tarpon moving around in Palm Beach Inlet, along with a few big jacks. Cooler water should start to improve the fishing around Munyan Island and Hobe Sound/Jupiter Island flats. SURF/PIER- Fishing improved along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier early in the week; before tapering off a bit at time of writing. Pompano reports picked cup a bit, with a few more showing up along the beach. It hasn't been limits, but catching 2 or 3 pomps was not out of the question this week. Early morning has been the best bet for the pompano. Spanish Mackerel action was good at the Juno Beach Pier early in the week. Crappie jigs, small Rapala X-Raps, and small metal flash jigs have all been solid lure choices for the Macs. A few bluefish around this week, but no big numbers. The jacks, mostly smaller, have been around in big numbers. A decent number of croakers and whiting around. Small pieces of fresh shrimp is the best bait for them. The blacktip sharks have been around in decent numbers. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...NW winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft, occasionally to 9 ft. Wave Detail: N 7 ft at 7 seconds.
