OFFSHORE- Tough fishing continued offshore this week. Inside of 300' the water remains dirty with very little current. A few scattered dolphin out deep this week; with reports seeming to bounce from 800-1000' of water. The usual smaller trolling baits are the way to go for the dolphin; with bonita strips and squid being solid choices. Most of the dolphin have been in the 3-5lb range with a few 10lb fish in the mix. No wahoo reports this week to speak of, but that could change with the new moon this weekend. This time of year the sea-witch and bonita strip behind a planer is the way to go for the wahoo. Bottom fishing reports remain very hit or miss. When the tide gets back to running north and the water starts to clean up the bottom fishing should improve. INSHORE- Snook fishing remains the best bet inshore right now. The snook will be following mullet schools and seem to be feeding best at first light or as the sun is going down. A lot of freshwater in the Loxahatchee River and parts of the ICW right now, so look for the fishing to be a little better closer to the inlets. A handful of tarpon and jacks will be mixed in with the snook as well. A noisy topwater like a Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil is a good choice during lowlight periods of the day. At night the snook have been hanging around the bridges in decent numbers. A flair hawk style jig remains a top lure choice for the snook. SURF/PIER: Despite rather gross looking conditions and a fair amount of scattered seaweed, fishing along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier has been fair this week. The mullet run has been a bit sporadic this week, but still some decent pods coming by. The snook, tarpon, and jacks have been following close behind the pods. Early morning and late afternoon tends to produce the most action around the mullet schools. The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a good number of small pompano, along with a decent number of ladyfish. A bright colored Doc's Goofy Jig will work well for both.
