OFFSHORE- Dolphin reports remained decent offshore this week. The depth continued to bounce around a bit, but overall it was better out deep (800-1300' of water). A swell and some east winds should help push some dolphin in closer over the weekend. Trolling squid, bonita strips, and small ballyhoo remains a good bet for the dolphin. The moon is getting bigger through the weekend...the wahoo should be biting! Look for the best wahoo action to be along the 120' ledge early in the morning and late in the afternoon. As the sun gets up a little higher the wahoo tend to slide off the edge into 200-300' of water. Tide changes and overcast conditions can get them back up on the edge in the middle of the day though. Trolling Nomad DTX Minnows and the Nomad 190 Madscad AT remains a great way to go for the wahoo. A horse ballyhoo or bonita strip behind a planer or trolling sinker is also a great way to go for the wahoo. Kingfish action remains constant along the 120 ledge. Best bite on the kings (No surprise here) will be early and late in the day. Snapper fishing reports remain good. Some nice mutton and mangroves around. Depending on how the swell shakes out, look for the snapper to likely be pushed into some shallower water spots. INSHORE- Catch and release snook fishing remains goods inshore. The snook are in and around the inlets in solid numbers. Look for the snook to start to slowly break out of the inlets after this full moon and the arrival of the mullet in the not so distant future. This weekend could see a nice push of snapper show up in the inlets as well. We haven't had a good hurricane swell yet this summer...time for some of those mutton and mangrove snapper to get pushed in! Other inshore action remains spotty. Could see the resident tarpon rolling around in the Loxahatchee River a little more fired up as a few early season finger mullet start to show up. SURF/PIER- Catch and release snook fishing remains good at the Juno Beach Pier and along the beach, with a little more summertime bait (pilchards and threadfins) finally filling in a bit more. A change in the weather the next few days will shake things up a bit though! As Hurricane Ernesto scoots up the coast it looks like a decent swell is going to build in over the next few days. What exactly will happen is hard to say: But it could push the summer bait out and bring in some early mullet. The other hope is that the swell helps push the snapper into the pier and inlets. Last week saw a few early season pompano around; east winds and a swell this weekend could have another little push of pomps around. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
