Weekend Fishing Outlook (4/14-4/16/2023)

Full Disclaimer...this is not the most exciting report you will ever read! 
​
OFFSHORE- If for some reason you didn't walk outside at all this week, or look out the window, or somehow did not hear the wind whipping since Sunday; you maybe expecting some good reports!  Of course here in the real world...nobody has fished this week.  Rough nasty conditions have kept everybody at the dock.  The weather though for the weekend (FOR A CHANGE!!!) looks really nice.  Hard to say what the fishing will do; but just about everything is in play.  Sailfish have still been around and will likely bite well.  Conditions do look good to see some dolphin push through.  Blackfin Tuna bite remains good in 200-300' of water.  Kingfish continue to fill in along the 120' ledge as well.  

INSHORE- Nasty conditions kept reports down to a minimum this week.  A handful of snook around (it's no fun to fish in, but the snook like the wind) for those pushing through the weather.  It wasn't a great bite on the snook; more of a grind it out for a few bites.  Dirty water and a lot of seaweed pushing in from offshore made it tough.  As the water begins to clear up expect the snook fishing to continue.  

SURF/PIER-  No reports this week from the beach.  Weather conditions do look good for the weekend.  If the water clears up a bit (clarity and seaweed both) the pompano fishing should be good.  Before it kicked up this week the pompano fishing remained good.  The snook have started to show up a little bit at the Juno Beach Pier, hopefully the rough stuff didn't mess with them too much.
