OFFSHORE- A little bit of a slower week offshore. Dolphin action slowed considerably, but still a few around. Best dolphin action seemed to come in 200-400' of water again, with most of the fish being in small packs and not locked in on structure. Trolling bonita strips and squid has been a good bet for the dolphin. Some decent wahoo reports this week in 150-300' of water. Trolling bonita strips and mullet down deep has been the best bet for the wahoo. Scattered sailfish action this week, but a front later into the weekend/early next week could be just the trigger we need to get them snapping. Live goggle eyes and blue runners under the kite will (as is pretty much ALWAYS is the case!) be the best bet for the sailfish. Bottom fishing has been very good again this week. Strong snapper reports in 90-120' of water. Sardines, squid and bonita chunks have all been solid bait choices on the bottom.
INSHORE- Snook season is winding down...time to get after them if your looking to stop one or two away for the next few months. Snook bite remains good, especially at night. Most bridges are still producing a pretty jig bite; with the shrimp jig bite also starting to heat up. Wintertime sheepshead, drum, pompano, ladyfish, and others are beginning to fill into their usual hangouts. Live shrimp will be a top bait choice for all of them. SURF/PIER- Calm clear conditions slowed things down a bit this week surf wise. Pompano action suffered the worst, with no real numbers to speak of. Sounds like most of the pompano catches were north of Fort Pierce this week. Spanish Mackerel action slowed at the pier and on southern beaches; but remains very good at Peck's Lake. Shark fishing remains very good at night. Bluefish are also biting well at night; they haven't been biting all that well during the day for some reason.
