Weekend Fishing Outlook (6/20-6/22/14)

OFFSHORE- Beautiful looking ocean forecast for the upcoming weekend.  Dolphin fishing was good this week for those heading way offshore.  While a few dolphin were picked at in 300-500'; the best mahi action started at 1000' and got even a little better out deeper.  A lot of the dolphin were small schools, but some big ones have been around as well.  The wahoo showed up last weekend, and into the early part of the week, on the full moon.  Most of the wahoo have been caught on split-tail mullet pulled down deep on a planer or inline trolling sinker.  Best depth for the wahoo seems to be 150-250' of water, with some hoos being caught out of both Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlet.  The 120' ledge has a pile of fish on it right now, a pile of bonita fish that is!  The bonita are around in full force; which means the big sharks, marlin, and stud wahoo are lurking around as well.  While the bonita may be a pain in the butt, they do bring around lots of cool stuff at the same time.  Snapper fishing remains very good on the bottom.  The first and second reefs, in 60-90', are both producing some nice mutton, mangrove, and yellowtail snapper.  Sardines, threadfins, and squid are all good baits for the snapper.  

INSHORE- Warm weather has inshore fishing on the slow side.  Some snook to be caught during lowlight periods of the day.  Look for the snook to be holding in deeper channels, and feeding aggressively on moving tides.  Scattered reports of a few mangrove snapper holding around area bridges.  Other action remains very spotty.

SURF/PIER- Tarpon are moving along the beach north of Jupiter Inlet.  Catch and release snook action is solid along the beach right now. Still catching some whiting and croaker in the first trough.  The Juno Pier is producing some stud snook right now.  Scattered schools of resident spanish mackerel have been around the pier as well.  Not much doing bait wise on the pier right now.

Good Luck This Weekend Everyone
