OFFSHORE- Not a lot to write about offshore wise this week; with a lack of tide along the edge, strange funky water, and an ocean full of crabs. The strange ocean conditions have kept the rock shrimp floating around the surface, but have left the fishing sub par at best. It does look like a mild front pushes through into the weekend and that will hopefully help get conditions more back to normal. Despite the conditions a handful of wahoo are being caught on the backside of the full moon. The wahoo have been biting bonita strips with a sea-witch much better than anything else. Most of the wahoo have been coming in the 175-300' range. A few scattered dolphin reports way out deep, but not very predictable. Snapper fishing remains very hit or miss on the bottom. INSHORE- The mullet have started to flow inshore in pretty good numbers this week. As usual the mullet will move much better at night and during lowlight conditions. Snook, tarpon, jacks, and even the occasional redfish could be hanging around the mullet schools. The snook have been locked in on the mullet around the bridges at night. A flair hawk, larger swimbait, Yo-Zuri Mag Darter, or Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil are all good lure choices for the snook. Outgoing tide seems to produce a little better, but incoming tide with cloudy water will also work well. During the day look for the snook ands tarpon to be following mullet schools further up the Loxahatchee River and in the ICW. Docks and seawalls with some water depth are great areas to look for as they make ideal ambush points for predators following the mullet. Doesn't get the same press as the mullet run...but the fall toadie run is on for those into that kind of thing! SURF/PIER- The early part of the week saw some nice pods of mullet with snook and tarpon rolling down the beach. A slight building swell and funky water conditions into the middle of the week seem to have slowed things down a bit. That will likely change headed into the weekend with favorable conditions lining up. The mullet should be around in very good numbers headed into the weekend. The best action will likely be early morning and then again late afternoon. Fishing mullet on the edge of the school or underneath the school is. solid way to go. Loud noisy lures in bright colors can also be a good way to go when fishing around mullet schools. A handful of early season pompano around, but most of the fish have been on the smaller side.
