OFFSHORE- This week has seen quite a weather swing, and some very good fishing. Kingfish have made a solid showing this week, with good numbers of fish up and down the line. Drifting sardines on a triple hook knocker rig is a great way to go for the kingfish right now. Trolling a lipped diving plug or bonita strip behind a planer is also a good bet for the kingfish. Look for the kingfish to be in the thickest numbers from Juno Beach Pier up to Jupiter Inlet in 100-150' of water most likely (As is usually the case, it shouldn't be too hard to spot the king fleet). Sailfish action was good over the past few days with some north wind for those dealing with the rough ocean. Dolphin action is a bit spotty, but reports do continue to roll in of catches. As is often the case with springtime dolphin they are starting to spread out pretty good, making it hard to pinpoint a starting depth. Cobia are also around in good numbers. Look for the cobia to be in 100-120' of water, with sardines also being the bait of choice. Other bottom reports are a bit spotty at best. INSHORE- Snook fishing prior to the little cold snap was very good. A quick warm-up should have them biting good again in short order. The Flair Hawk bite remains fair to good around the bridges, especially on an outgoing tide. Docklight action is also very very good for catching numbers of snook right now. Small white jigs and shrimp imitating lures are excellent choices for fishing snook around docklights. Pompano fishing has been good inshore in the Stuart area, but slow in the local Juno/Jupiter area for the most part. Fair number of jacks pushing around in the Loxahatchee River and ICW right now. Hobe Sound Flats continue to produce mixed bag action on ladyfish, jacks, occasional trout or redfish, snook, sheepshead, and a few others. SURF/PIER- Reports for the first part of the week were well...weak. However, at time of writing the surf south of Jupiter Inlet has started to come alive. Solid reports of Bluefish coming in from the Juno Beach Pier currently. LOTS of blacktip sharks mixed in with the bluefish as well. Pompano reports have also been on the rise with a few fish being caught south of Jupiter Inlet, and good numbers coming in from Hobe Sound. Clams, Sandfleas, and FishBites remain the baits of choice for the pompano. Looks like we could be in for some good fishing this weekend!
