OFFSHORE- Sailfish action has been good this week; with most boats getting at least a few chances, and quite a few with five or more releases. The sails have been strung up and down the line, though it does sound like the bite was a little better south of Palm Beach Inlet (at least early in the week). The usual 150-225' seemed to be working good for the sailfish, with the depth changing depending on the daily conditions. A good number of dolphin in the mix as well this week. 200-300' of water seemed to be working good for the dolphin, with bonita strips and trolling squid being a good way to go. Despite the full moon no wahoo reports to speak of; though that could change headed into the weekend. Bottom fishing has remained good, with a good mix of snapper around. Sardines and squid remain the top bait choices on the bottom. INSHORE- A little slow on the inshore reports this week. Only about ten days left for snook season. The snook are still biting decent around the bridges at night. The slightly cooler water does have the snook biting the shrimp jig pretty good, especially on outgoing tide. A few more sheepshead showing up inshore. Live shrimp is the top bait choice for the sheepshead. Starting to get some inshore pompano reports from the Sailfish Flats in Stuart. A small bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig is a great way to go for the inshore pompano. SURF/PIER- No big numbers of pompano around this week, but those putting the time in have been finding a few. FishBites and sand fleas remain the top bait choices for the pompano. Bluefish have been biting decent along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier, especially at night. A chunk of sardine or mullet is a good way to go for the blues. The Spanish Mackerel have been cruising in and out of the Juno Beach Pier. A white crappie jig tipped with shrimp is a solid choice for the mackerel. The croaker and whiting continue to bite well. Small pieces of fresh shrimp is a great way to go for the croaker and whiting. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 2 ft.
