OFFSHORE: Dolphin reports remain a bit inconsistent, but the better reports (size and quantity) seem to be coming in from a little deeper water (outside of 500'). Trolling small ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid remains a good choice for the dolphin. Blackfin tuna are biting in 200-300' of water during lowlight periods of the day. Try trolling small daisy chains and trolling feathers for the best tuna action. Wahoo action should start to improve with the growing moon. Look for the wahoo to be in 150-300' of water. High speed trolling with heavy lures is a good way to try and target wahoo specifically, while a split tail mullet pulled at regular speeds down deep is also a good method. Kingfish bite has been great along the 120' ledge, especially late in the afternoon. Best bait bait is live sardines. Bottom fishing remains strong, with a nice assortment of snapper an a above average number of grouper being caught.
INSHORE: Catch and release snook fishing remains the main game in town on the inshore side of things. Look for the snook to be in the inlets and around the bridges at night. Flair hawks are a great lure choice right now; as are big swimbaits (Like a SpoolTek) around the bridges at night. Live baits will be the best bet during the day, especially in the inlet. Summertime temps have other inshore fishing on the slow side. Some scattered mangrove snapper reports coming in around the bridges, and fair sandperch reports in the ICW. SURF/PIER: Snook fishing has really started to improve along the beach, including the appearance of some larger fish. Live croakers and sandperch are a solid live bait choice right now for the big female snook, while smaller pilchards and threadfins are a good bait choice for getting a larger number of bites. During lowlight periods of the day Rapala X-Raps and Yo-Zuri Longcast minnows are a great lure choice for the snook. In brighter sunlight a small jig or soft plastic paddletail will be a better choice; with white always being a good color choice. The Juno Beach Pier has had a fair number of Spanish Mackerel around, as well as a few kingfish still. Look for the early morning and late afternoon bite to be the best at the pier. Croakers and sandperch are biting good in the first trough on small pieces of shrimp. Scattered jacks and tarpon pushing along the beach as well right now.
