OFFSHORE- Sailfish bite has been really good over the past week (FINALLY!), with boats finally getting some double digit chances. The bite has bounced up and down the line, but pretty much anywhere you stop and put them out in 150-200' of water has a pretty good chance of producing some bites. As always look for good current, large area of baits, and well defined color changes and current rips for the best chances. Live goggle eyes and blue runners under the kite will be the best bet for the sailfish. If you can track down some smaller baits (Pilchards, sardines, threadfins, etc) keep them on a flatline for hungry springtime dolphin and blackfin tuna that will also be in the same areas. Kingfish remain scattered up and down the 120' ledge. Bottom fishing has been pretty fair this week. A fair assortment of snapper around, springtime banded rudderfish showing up, and a few cobia as well. Sardines will be a top bait choice for all of them.
INSHORE- Snook fishing remains pretty good for those putting the time in. The bridge bite has been good at night. The smaller shrimp jig bite is being replaced by the flairhawk jig; a sure sign the snook are getting more active as they are becoming more receptive to the bigger baits. The snook are feeding around boat docks during the day in the Loxahatchee River, with live mullet being the top choice. Look for walls and docks with good current to be the top spots for the snook. The big jacks are starting to cruise inshore a little bit. A few scattered tarpon reports continue to come out of the Loxahatchee River as well. SURF/PIER- The Juno Beach Pier was a little better this week. Still a good number of Spanish Mackerel around, with the 1/8oz white crappie jig being the lure of choice. Pompano were also biting a little better off the pier as well this week. Doc's goofy jig in bright colors (green, pink, and orange) remains the way to go for the pompano. Sandfleas, Clams, FishGum, and FishBItes will work on the pompano for those looking to use bait. Bluefish action remains pretty good at night. Spinner/blacktip sharks are here in good numbers right now...time to get after them if that's your thing! NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRIDAY...Northeast winds around 15 knots with gusts to around 20 knots.
