OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing slowed a bit this week, but those putting the time I are still finding a few. 800' of water remains a solid starting point for the dolphin. Trolling small bright colored jetted lures, bonita strips, and trolling squid have all been a good bet for the dolphin. Just make sure to find some fishy looking water before you put them out. The bigger dolphin are being caught mainly by setting up a chum slick in good areas and fishing with larger live baits. The big news this week has been the very good wahoo boîte out of Jupiter. The August full moon has so far been a good one and that should continue through the weekend. 100-300' of water is a solid depth choice for the wahoo. High speed trolling with the lures has been a good choice, as has pulling split tail mullet down deep on a inline trolling sinker or planer. Early morning and late afternoon will be best for the wahoo. Kingfish action is fair, not what many were hoping for with the full moon. Snapper reports remain pretty steady in 90-100' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to Jupiter Inlet.
INSHORE- More and more reports of the first mullet showing up are trickling in. Shouldn't be long till things really start rolling inshore. Looks like the mullet run may time up very nicely with the opening of snook season this year. Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now. The snook are starting to slowly break up the spawning party, and should be heading back inshore in better numbers very soon. The Loxahatchee River has had some very good snook fishing over the past week. Mangrove snapper action remains fair inshore. Some decent jacks, and maybe a tarpon or two, pushing around in the ICW these days. SURF/PIER- The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce nice mixed bag action on a variety of species early each morning and again late in the afternoon. The bait has been around the Pier in good numbers attracting a few kingfish, mackerel, blue runners, jacks, tarpon, and of course the snook. Flatlining live baits is a good choice for everything listed above; as is throwing a Rapala X-Rap early and late. The bait has been a bit of a pain in the but sometimes, so make sure you have a few #3 Red Hayabusa Sabiki's when they get tough. For those not into the pier, the snook have been biting along the beach very well. Again, not to sound like a broken record, early and late will be best for the snook. The summertime pompano bite is still fairly good north of Jupiter Inlet. Those looking to take a ride further up the line will find the glass minnow schools up towards Fort Pierce and north filled up with tarpon, sharks, snook, and other predators. Definitely a cool deal to se up that way. Just takes a little driving and patience to find them! Good Luck Everybody! NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRIDAY...South winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas around 2 feet.
