Offshore: Good looking forecast for the upcoming weekend. Dolphin fishing was very good again this week for those putting the time in. The dolphin have been scattered from 200-1500' of water with no super consistent depth. Setting up a chum slick in productive looking water and drifting has also been productive. A little ground chum and menhaden oil can really do some wonders for attracting the dolphin. Blackfin tuna, from small footballs to 15 pounders, were mixed in with the dolphin in fair numbers this week. A small trolling feather or smaller Tormenter Daisy chain have been solid choices for the blackfin. Inside the 120' ledge late spring/early summer fishing has really fired up good. The kingfish have showed up in good numbers. Best action on the kingfish has been in 90-150' of water during low light periods of the day. Mixed in with the kings have been a decent number of cobia, especially north of the Juno Beach Pier. Mutton snapper bite has also been very good in the same area with some good size yellowtail snapper in the mix as well. Sardines remain the top bait choice for bottom fishing.
Inshore: Snook fishing continues to improve with warming weather. The snook are more active by the day and really beginning to push towards the inlet. Best snook action will be at night around bridges closer to the inlets, with outgoing tide being the best. Bigger swim baits, flair hawk jigs, and swimming plugs are all good choices for the snook. Live mullet are also great bait choice for the snook. Mangrove snapper are starting to filter into their normal inshore summertime hangouts. Mostly smaller mangroves right now, but some better ones should be close behind. Sandperch are biting very good inshore right now, with small pieces of fresh shrimp being the top bait choice. Surf/Pier: Pompano action has started to slow, but is not totally done yet. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to target pompano right now. Sandfleas and clams remain the top bait choice for the pompano. Snook are starting to move along the beach in better numbers, have been around the Juno Beach Pier, and are filling into the inlets as well. Live croakers and sardines will be the top snook baits. The Juno Beach Pier has had good action this week with scattered Spanish and King Mackerel, big jacks, and snook all hanging around. The live baits are showing back up around the pier in better numbers...and the bigger stuff is not far behind. Lots of good stuff going on!
