OFFSHORE: Lousy weather kept everyone at the dock for the first part of the week and fishing reports to a minimum; but that should change this weekend with what looks to be ideal sail fishing conditions. The "Gold Cup" tournament is this weekend, and things look right for many boats to break double digit release numbers. Expect the sailfish to be in their normal stomping grounds from Palm Beach Inlet up past Jupiter Inlet in 150-250' of water. Live goggle eyes and blue runners will be there baits of choice for the sailfish under the kite; while thread fins, pilchards, and sardines will all be good flatline bait options. Mixed in with the sailfish should be some dolphin and kingfish. Bottom fishing reports were slow overall this week, but should remain good if water clarity is ok.
INSHORE: Not much to write about on the inshore fishing side of this things this week; thanks largely to poor weather conditions for the first part of the week. Cold weather could really help fire up the inshore flats around Muyon Island and Hobe Sound. This weather could push in pompano, ladyfish, jacks, and maybe even a few triple tail. Some sheepshead are being caught around area bridges. Snook fishing was tough this week with cold weather. SURF/PIER: Extremely poor water clarity (looks a lot like chocolate milk right now) has surf fishing slowed to a crawl this week. As soon as it clears things should really go off. Expect a good number of Spanish Mackerel, bluefish, and pompano to be around when water conditions improve. Could see some triple tail around the Juno Beach Pier as well.
