OFFSHORE- Reports have been a little slim to start the week; though things are looking up heading into the weekend. Dolphin fishing has slowed down a bit, with most of the reports coming from out deeper (800-1000' of water). Southwest winds in the forecast will likely keep that trend up. Blackfin Tuna action has started to slow a bit. Still decent Blackfin Tuna bite up to the north. Big hope this weekend will be for a strong wahoo bite. The full moon is Sunday, the seaweed has thinned out a bit, and the ocean forecast is favorable...should hopefully be hearing about a lot of wahoo being caught. Trolling a planer with a sea-witch and bonita strip combo is a great way to go for the wahoo. Kingfish action remains fair along the 120' ledge. The full moon should have them biting good first thing in the morning and then again later in the afternoon. Snapper fishing reports have been slower this week, though that should improve this weekend as well. INSHORE- Snook season comes to a close this weekend. Last chance for a few months to invite one home for dinner. Snook fishing has been good this week, and that should continue into the weekend. A fair number of snook in the Loxahatchee River, with those fishing mullet along seawalls finding some solid fish. The snook have also been around the bridges at night, especially bridges closer to inlets. The snook are moving towards the inlets to spawn, and they are eating just about anything that gets in their way. The snook will likely be fairly stacked in both the Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlets with the full moon this weekend. Mangrove snapper fishing remains fair in the ICW. SURF/PIER- Surf fishing remained a bit slow this week. A few more snook starting to show up along the beach, and conditions do look good to to target them headed into the weekend. A smaller swimbait (Like the JYG Pro 3" Chubby) is a top lure choice in the surf. The Juno Beach Pier has had some fish around this week as well. The snook have been biting live baits at the pier, especially late in the afternoon. Conditions have looked good for a few kingfish to come cruising by the pier late in the afternoon looking for a Rapala X-Rap. Been a decent number of moonfish around the pier this week as well. A few croaker and whiting in the first trough. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...W winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming S in the afternoon. Seas less than 2 ft or less. Wave Detail: SW 1 foot at 4 seconds.
