OFFSHORE- Nicer looking forecast for the upcoming weekend. Reports have been a bit slim due to the weather; but those getting out have been finding some pretty good fishing. Starting to get some more dolphin reports; with depths seeming to bounce from 200-800' depending on conditions. Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid should all work for the dolphin. Sailfish bite remains good in 120-250' of water. Live baits under the kite are the way to go for the sailfish. Blackfin Tuna bite remains good in 200-300' of water. Live baits fished down deep or a vertical jig are the way to go for the tuna. Kingfish have continued to fill in along the 120' ledge. Bottom fishing reports have been a bit slim this week; but conditions look great headed into the weekend. Great time of year for the muttons, including some big ones, to start biting. Sardines are a great bait choice for the snapper. INSHORE- Snook fishing improved a bit this week. The snook have been eating mullet in the Loxahatchee River along seawalls during the day; with a few big jacks cruising around as well. The snook have also started to bite better at night around the bridges. Warmer weather has the snook more inclined to bite bigger swimbaits and flair hawk jigs. A handful of snook starting to sniff around the inlets as well. Mangrove snapper reports have ticked up a bit as well. SURF/PIER- Pompano fishing fired back off this week. The best pompano action came from the Juno Beach Pier early in the week; though the surf bite has started to improve later into the week. From the beach it's been sand fleas, fresh shrimp, and FishBites for the pompano; with the best bite going down early morning and then again late in the afternoon. The same baits are working well from the Pier; with a good number of fish coming over the rail on Doc's Goofy Jigs as well. Brighter colors (Orange or green) have been the ticket for the Doc's Goofy Jigs. Some decent schools of bluefish still cruising through. Getting a bit late in the year for the bluefish; but they haven't left completely yet. A few scattered schools of jacks cruising down the beach this week as well. The snook have been biting as little bit at the pier, with the best luck coming with dead sardines on the bottom. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 2 ft.
