OFFSHORE: Should be a pretty good weekend offshore. A little bit of southeast wind could really help the dolphin fishing; which seemed to slow just a bit this week. Southeast wind should help get their noses pointed towards us. Usual dolphin fishing drill should do the job...anybody's guess on what the best depth will be right now! The full moon is coming up next week; and that should hopefully mean a good wahoo bite this week. The June and July moons were both kind of disappointing; so hopefully August is a little better! Trolling bait has been more productive than high speed trolling so far this summer. A split tail mullet or horse ballyhoo pulled behind a trolling sinker or planer is a good way to go for the wahoo. Kingfish action has remained pretty good along the 120' ledge. Live sardines remain the bait of choice for the kings, with the best bite coming mainly late in the afternoon. Snapper fishing seems to remain day to day. Good reports from the Jupiter drift boats the last few days on the snapper; with a decent assortment of yellowtail and muttons around.
INSHORE: Snook fishing remains the main game in town on the inshore side of things. The bridges have been pretty good as of late, especially at night on the outgoing tide. Flair hawk jigs and big swim baits remain the top lure choices for the snook. The spillways are also producing a good number of snook and a few tarpon. A few mangrove snapper are being caught around the bridges as well. Best snapper bite seems to be on live shrimp and pilchards; mainly at night as well. SURF/PIER: Catch and release snook fishing remains very good at the Juno Beach Pier, along the beach, and in Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlets. Live sandperch and croakers will be the best live bait choices; especially for those looking for a big end of summer snook. Looks like the wind is going to blow just a little; if the forecast is right it could lead to some really good lure fishing for the snook. A little chop and some color in the water will have the snook ready to bite flair hawk style jigs, swimsuits, and swimming plugs. Lowlight conditions will be best for fooling the snook on the lures. The upcoming full moon could really fire them up at night as well. The Juno Beach Pier has had some bonita cruising around as well as a handful of kingfish. A Rapala X-Rap is a good lure choice for the kings and bonitas. Like the snook; best action on the kings will be early morning and late afternoon. Other surf action remains a bit spotty. Scattered schools of spanish mackerel around. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRIDAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Period 4 seconds. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.
