OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing has really picked back up this week; with both some decent numbers and decent size fish as well around. Reports have been a bit all over the place again as well; with good reports coming in from 250-300' and outside of 1000' as well (Check the pics below of Steve with some good dolphin caught in 850' this week). Small ballyhoo, squid, and bonita strips have all been good bait choices for the dolphin. Look for the dolphin to be on weedlines, around floating debris, and on current rips. Blackfin tuna action remains very good in 200-300' of water. Trolling early morning has been good for the tuna. Later in the day getting a bait down deep or sending a vertical jig a hundred feet down is the way to go for the tuna. Kingfish action has been very good along the 120' ledge. Early and late bite have been best for the kings. Snapper fishing was good on the bottom this week. Some nice yellowtail and mutton snapper coming in over the past week. INSHORE- Catch and release snook fishing remains good inshore. The snook are getting into spawning mode; which has them headed towards the inlet and beach. The snook will stop off at bridges and seawalls along the way. Look for the snook to feed best on the top of the outgoing tide. During the day the snook will be laid up under boat docks and along seawalls with some current. A live mullet is a top bait choice for the snook during the day. At night the snook are biting flair hawks and swimbaits well. The tarpon have been hanging around Palm Beach Inlet in fair numbers. A live shrimp is a top bait choice for the tarpon. Other inshore action is a bit spotty. The warmer weather should help get the mangrove snapper biting, though reports have been a bit slow on them this week. A few scattered sand perch biting in the ICW. SURF/PIER- A little slow overall on the beach and pier this week. Catch and release snook fishing remains fair to good. The Juno Beach Pier has been holding a bit more bait and that will get the snook more and more fired up. Look for the snook to bite best early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The tarpon have been pushing up the beach in good numbers. Typically it's easiest to find the tarpon early in the morning in calm conditions. A live pilchard or sardine is top bait choice for the tarpon. If they are in the feeding mood a well presented fly or swimming plug will also get some bites. A few scattered kingfish bites late in the afternoon at the Juno Beach Pier this week. A good number of blue runners around this week. Decent croaker fishing later in the afternoons as well this week. Pieces of fresh shrimp is top bait choice for the croaker. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...S SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas less than 2 ft.
