Weekend Fishing Outlook (1/18-1/20/2019)

Read Now
 
OFFSHORE-  The sailfish bite a lot of us hoped for this week never really materialized, but the fronts are starting to stack  up and the fish should be pushing south soon.  The large body of sailfish that the Pelican Tournament caught off Cape Canaveral last week for a couple days will push south eventually...just need some good north wind and cooler temps to get those beaks headed down.   For those looking to find a few sailfish locally, the Juno Pier to Jupiter Inlet (150-250' of water)  continues to produce a few fish daily.  This weekend is the "Operation Sailfish" tournament out of Sailfish Marina; so we will no doubt get a good line on whats going on offshore with some of the best of the best in town this weekend.  Goggle Eyes and blue runners continue to be the top live baits for the sailfish.  No dolphin reports to speak of this week, beyond a few here and there fish.  Kingfish are still scattered up and down the 120' ledge, but not in the numbers the last week or two has seen.  Snapper reports remain fair to middle of the road.   

INSHORE-  The big news inshore this week was a nice push of pompano into the Loxahatchee River (and a few into the ICW up north as well).  The pompano are biting sandfleas, shrimp, and Doc's Goofy jigs the best.  Sounds like the traditional river  jig colors (orange, pink, yellow) are working best for the pompano; with 3/8oz being the top size.  Look for the pompano to "skip up" behind the boat while running,  and set up in that area for best results.  The black drum and sheepshead continue to bite fairly well around boat docks and seawalls in the ICW, especially those with acess to some deeper water close by.  Snook fishing has been a bit slower this week.  A handful of tarpon reports starting to trickle in from Palm Beach Inlet.

SURF/PIER-  Very tough week along the beach and at the pier this week overall.  The Juno Beach Pier has had a small handful of Spanish Mackerel around, but for the most part they are turning down most lures in favor of bait (sardines).  Kingfish action slowed as well at the pier this week, with just a few being picked off on trolley rigs.  A handful of pompano are being caught north of Jupiter Inlet, but overall slower pompano fishing this week.  Bluefish were biting cut bait at Hobe Sound Beach earlier in the week, but large swell later in the week slowed that down as well.  Just kind of a tough week overall along the beach.

NOTE---The Fishing Report is now also done weekly on our YouTube Channel, and posted under the "Catch365" section of our website.  They are usually fairly close in info, but sometimes one will have a good little piece of info the other doesn't; so be sure to check em out both ways!  And who knows, we might add a third way soon...did I HEAR somebody say Podcast.
