OFFSHORE- The upcoming full moon has the wahoo absolutely chewing right now! The reports have been very good on the wahoo out of both Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets this week. Early morning and late afternoon they slide in a little shallower to feed (Mostly on those pain in the butt bonita), before sliding back out to 200-300' of water when the sun is up higher in the sky. Trolling Nomad DTX Minnows, Rapala X-Rap Magnums, or a Sea-Witch with a bonita strip remains a solid way to target the wahoo. A live bait (especially sardine or small goggle eye) fished 25-50' below the surface is also a great way to go for the wahoo, especially later in the day. Try and stay out a little deeper with the live baits to cut down on the number of bonita grabbing the live baits. Dolphin reports have fallen off pretty good; but still some being caught for those covering ground. Better dolphin reports seem to be coming from out deeper (800-1000' of water). Kingfish have been scattered along the 120' ledge in decent numbers. The kings have been biting better late in the afternoon with the upcoming full moon. Snapper fishing has been fair this week, with some good late afternoon reports. A decent mixture of muttons, mangrove, and lane snapper being caught in 80-90' of water. INSHORE- The Snook have been biting well in Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlet. Live sand-perch and croakers are top bait choice for snook in the inlet. Some of the snook will also break out of the inlet and lay up along seawalls in the Loxahatchee. A few early season mullet have trickled in, with the snook taking notice of the early arriving mullet. At night the snook have been hanging around the bridges in good numbers. Outgoing tide has been producing the most bites on the snook. A few scattered tarpon and jacks in the mix. Mangrove snapper have been biting pretty good inshore, with the better bite coming at night. SURF/PIER- Relatively slow fishing this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier. Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet these days, with the snook biting best early in the morning and late in the afternoon. A fair number of small pilchards around; with the snook getting up floating pretty good in the bait schools. When the snook get up and float in the bait schools they are easy targets for the free line live baits. A few snook biting along the beach very early in the morning, with small swimbaits and twitch baits being top lure choices. NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...SE winds around 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft.
