OFFSHORE- Really good dolphin fishing this week offshore. Solid bite in 300-500' of water; though plenty of fish shallower and deeper as well. Trolling small ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips has been very productive on the dolphin. Setting up a drift on productive looking area and chumming and chunking some sardines has also been bringing the dolphin to the boat. Most of the dolphin have been along the several well formed weed lines; though don't overlook any good looking rip or edge as well. Blackfin Tuna action remains solid in 200-300' of water. Kingfish action remains tough, with the big springtime push of fish not quite materializing as it should. Some decent mutton snapper reports coming in from 90-100' of water; with the occasional cobia mixed in as well. Overall pretty good fishing this week; well worth a trip if you can make it out! INSHORE- Snook action remains pretty good inshore. The snook are most definitely in a pre spawn pattern and have been eating well. Best action, as usual, will be at night; though a few will be caught during the day as well. During the day it's a live bait along seawalls and under boat docks kind of bite. At night look for the snook to be stacked up along bridge shadow lines and under dock lights. Anywhere a little deeper with a good current and a shadow line is a great place to sweep a flair hawk jig or swim a bigger straight tail. Under docklights smaller swimming plugs or shrimp imitating lures are the way to go. SURF/PIER- Good pompano fishing again along the beach this week. Seaweed made it a bit tough; but those fighting through the weeds have been rewarded with some very good catches. Still hearing a few reports of pomps to the south; so could possibly see a few more solid weeks of pompano action ahead. The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a few pompano (Primarily early morning) as well. The pier has also had a good number of jacks cruising through; with the occasional Spanish Mackerel and late season bluefish around as well. A handful of snook biting at the Juno Beach Pier as well; should only get better as we wind down the last few weeks of snook season.

Thanks For Reading, Todd Hersh (IG @hershxsingh) spent a few days fishing with Capt Eric of Countyline Charters this week. They had a solid mixture of action, including a little bit of the good dolphin bite that has been going on!  Comments are closed.
