OFFSHORE: Less than ideal weather conditions kept offshore reports to a minimum this week. Weather looks a lot nicer for the weekend though! The hard south winds we've had should definitely help push some dolphin up from the Keys. Hard to guess on what depth they'll be in; so be prepared to cover some ground to find them. Trolling bonita strips and squid will be a good way to find the dolphin. Blackfin Tuna are still biting pretty good in 200-300' off water out of Jupiter. Live sardines are hard to beat for the tuna. Good number of sailfish out in the same areas as the blackfin. Key to both is getting the bait down a little deeper. Inside of the 120' ledge the kingfish remain scattered up and down the ledge from the Juno Beach Pier up to Loran Tower. Live sardines are the best bait for the sails; while a knocker rig dead sardine or diamond jig will also do the trick on the kings. Snapper fishing remains fair. Much better on the snapper from Juno Beach Pier north. Hard to beat a fresh dead sardine with his tail trimmed off for the snapper. No avoiding the bonita and sharks along the 120' ledge right now as well.
INSHORE: Catch and release snook fishing remains really good right now. The spillway bite has slowed a little, but is still producing some fish. The bridges and inlet have been solid with snook. Big swimbaits and flair hawks are solid choices for the snook right now. Look for both outgoing and incoming tide to produce bites now as the water has not been super clear as of late. A few summertime mangrove snapper being caught around the bridges. Small live pilchards or live shrimp are a great choice for the snapper. Mixed reports on the inshore sand perch right now. SURF/PIER: This week of hard south winds kept the surf a little turned up and water color off a bit; which in turn helped fire up the fishing. Catch and release snook fishing was very good this week; both from the beach and the pier. Lowlight periods of the day will no doubt be best for the snook. Sandperch and croakers are biting well in the first trough on pieces of cut shrimp. Some good schools of jacks cruising the beach, especially first thing in the morning. Good reports of some tarpon pushing north along the beach right now as well. Tarpon are moving best first thing in the morning and north of Jupiter Inlet in the best numbers. Even a handful of stray summertime pompano being caught this week with the wind. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRIDAY...SOUTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. SEAS AROUND 2 FEET. DOMINANT PERIOD 4 SECONDS.
