OFFSHORE- Not going to be the most pleasant weekend offshore; but the fishing will most likely be pretty good. Dolphin fishing remains solid in 600-1000' of water. Trolling bonita strips and squid remains a solid choice for the dolphin. Blackfin Tuna action remains very very good as well in 250-400' of water. Live sardines fished down deep are the best way to go for the bigger blackfins. A metal vertical jig is also a good way to go for them. Kingfish action has picked back up big time along the 120' ledge. A few cobia still mixed in with the kings as well. Also mixed in with the kingfish have been some big mutton snapper. The muttons love to hangout under the kingfish schools and pick up easy meals drifting down to them. INSHORE- Snook season is closed; but this should be a great weekend for some really good catch and release action. Between a good amount of wind and rain in the forecast the snook should be in a feeding kind of mood. If the Spillways open up the bite should be absolutely on fire. The Loxahatchee River will also be a safe bet with the wind blowing. A few tarpon and jacks will no doubt be in the mix as well. Mangrove snapper reports continue to improve on a weekly basis. Conditions should be good for them as well this weekend. SURF/PIER- Not the most ideal forecast for a trip to the beach this weekend. Still a few late late season pompano around for those willing to tough it out. Best bite on the pomps will be just before the sun comes up. It's a short window that the pomps bite: As the sun starts to get up in the sky the bite is pretty much over. Snook continue to show up in the surf in better numbers. The weather this weekend will no doubt make it a little tougher to target them. The Juno Beach Pier has been good for mixed bag action. Snook fishing continues to improve. Still a good number of big jacks cruising through. An occasional kingfish and some tarpon as well passing by. Croakers have been biting good in the surf.
