OFFSHORE- Reports have been relatively slow offshore this week (largely all weather related). Before the weather turned last weekend the dolphin fishing was good, with lots of fish coming in 400-500' of water out of Jupiter. Trolling squid, bonita strips, and small ballyhoo remains a great way to go when targeting the dolphin. Conditions look good later in the weekend for the dolphin. Wahoo reports on the full moon were not all that good, with only a handful of fish coming in. Sailfish action slowed a bit this week, but still a good number around. About time to start seeing the cobia offshore, should start happening almost anytime. INSHORE- Snook fishing remains good inshore. During the day the snook will be on seawalls and under boat docks. A live mullet is a top bait choice to target them. Passing jacks and the occasional tarpon will also jump on a live mullet. At night the snook will be around docklights and bridges. Shrimp and shrimp like lures are top choices around the docklights. Around the bridges swimbaits and Flair Hawk jigs are top bait choices for the snook right now. Sheepshead action has slowed way down inshore this week, with only a few scattered ones being caught. SURF/PIER- Lots of life along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier this week. Pompano action has really improved over the past week, with some good catches coming from both the surf and the Juno Beach Pier. The usual bait assortment (FishBItes, Clams, and Sandfleas) has been producing along the beach. The Pier bite has been a mix of bait and jigs (Doc's Goofy Jig and JYG Pro Mycros). Best bite on the pompano will be first thing in the morning and then again late in the afternoon. A scattering of Spanish Mackerel, along with some bluefish, have been moving along the beach this week. No consistency to them, more a right time right place kind of deal. Springtime jacks, including some bruisers, have started to patrol the beach in better numbers. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...NW winds 20 to 25 kt, becoming N 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon.
