OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing remained good offshore this week, with the biggest challenge being guessing the right depth to find them. Heard of dolphin being caught as shallow as 120' this week all the way to 1200'. Best bet has been to find well defined weediness, floating debris, temperature changes, and large areas of flying fish...the dolphin won't be far behind. Trolling bonita strips and squid has been a very safe bet for the dolphin. A handful of kingfish showed up this week along the 120' ledge. Blackfin Tuna continue to bite in 200-300' of water; along with a wahoo or two as well. Lots of bonita, big blue runners, and sharks around the 120' ledge. Snapper fishing improved this week, with some nice muttons being caught this week.
INSHORE- Snook fishing remains very good inshore and in the inlets right now. Full on summertime spawn mode right now; so take care of those big female fish. Look for the snook to be most active around the bridges at night. A flair hawk is a great choice for the snook right now. Outgoing tide tends to be best for the snook, but don't discount incoming tide in certain situations. Mangrove snapper reports remain pretty good for those putting the time in. SURF/PIER- Fairly typical summertime pattern setting in on the beach and at the pier these days. Catch and release snook fishing will be the most consistent game in town, with the numbers really starting to improve over the past week or two. Look for the snook to be the most active early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and at night. Swimbaits and swimming plugs are a good choice for the snook for lures. For live bait it's hard to top a sand perch or croaker; especially for the bigger fish. The Juno Beach Pier has had a fair number of blue runners and Spanish Mackerel around, along with a kingfish or two. A white crappie jig is the top lure choice for the mackerel; while a small freelanced pilchard is the way to go baitwise. Some decent schools of jacks and tarpon cruising the beach as well. Actually heard of a summer pompano or two caught this week NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRIDAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas less than 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a light chop.
