Fishing Report 1.8.15

Inshore

Pompano fishing once again has been the main target. We had a few good days, but the large schools have not pushed into the river yet. As usual fishing the edges of channels inside the river north of Jupiter Inlet using goofy jigs will produce ladyfish, pompano and jacks.  The trout fishing continues to be good using a DOA shrimp around area flats. The redfish have picked up as well in northern parts of the county. Look for sand potholes in area grass flats to bring a few of these fish to the yak. Finally Snook fishing in the Lantana area has been producing good numbers around the seawalls and docks. Try using a DOA Baitbuster or Cal jerk bait.

Offshore

The offshore fishing is finally picking up again after a dismal 3-4 weeks. Kingfish, mahi and sails have all been hitting the yak in the Boynton Beach area. Goggle eyes have been the best bet, but don’t overlook a good ole dead sardine on a triple j hook rig for dolphin and kingfish. The kings and dolphin have been running small, but there is plenty of action. Focus your attention in 100-130’ of water. In the next month action should continue to get better and hopefully the average size will increase as well.

Fishing Report 12.8.14

Inshore

The pompano are here! We have had some good cold fronts to push these guys in. Fishing the beach along the coast with sand fleas, clams and shrimp will give you a good shot at putting a few in the cooler. Fishing inside the river north of Jupiter Inlet using goofy jigs will produce ladyfish, pompano, jacks ad bluefish. Try working the edges of channels and flats. The pompano will be around for a few months so get on them. The trout fishing has been pretty good using a DOA shrimp around area flats. As always look for potholes on the grass flats and try fishing later in day.

Offshore

The weather has kept us beached the last few weeks, but the reports have been good for people getting out. The mahi fishing is still outstanding, especially in the Jupiter area. Live mullet and google eyes are the bait of choice. The sailfish bite has been mediocre, but in the coming months it will pick up. The nastier the weather is always better for these acrobatic fish. Take on the weather, but be safe!

Inshore

The first couple of cold front has pushed through the area. With these fronts some new inshore species start to show up. With the next couple fronts start to look for pompano and bluefish to be roaming the flats and channels. Places like Hobe Sound and the mouth of the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter are great places to check for activity. For pompano I love using a DOA shrimp in the pot holes on the flats and edges of the channels. For bouncing the bottom of channels a goofy jig or buck tail jig will do the trick for both pompano and bluefish. Just because the weather has become cold don’t think your redfish and trout have shut down. Try fishing a little later in the day so the water has a chance to warm up and target sand holes. These holes will warm up faster than surrounding areas.

Offshore

The mahi fishing has been outstanding up and down the coast. Live mullet and google eyes will intrigue these guys to have a snack. You can run circle hooks or stinger rigs if you don’t want to miss out on the king and possible wahoo bites. These cold fronts will continue to bring in the mahi and sailfish throughout the winter. Brave the weather and you should succeed.

Fishing Report 10/8/14

Inshore

The mullet run is in full swing! These tasty inshore treats have made their way inside the inlet and snook, Jacks, tarpon and sharks are having their way with them.  Fishing areas like “Beer Can” just north of Boynton Beach Inlet has been good for large jacks, snook and sharks as this area is holding large numbers of mullet. Large mullet schools can be found just off the beach up and down the coast. Tarpon are the main focus just off the beach. Try using live mullet with a 4/0 or 5/0 circle hook depending on the size of the mullet you have.

Offshore

October is here, one of my favorite times of year for fishing. The mahi mahi are showing up in good numbers from Palm Beach through Jupiter. Live mullet and google eyes are the bait of choice. Slow trolling and drifting in 90-150’ with these baits is your best bet. Don’t forget to have a pitch bait ready like a D.O.A. Baitbuster for the passing dolly. The blackfin tuna have started to show slowly. Trolling deep diver plugs and vertical jigging from 200’ to 300’ will get you on these fish.

Fishing Report 6/1/14

Inshore

The top water bite has picked up in the early morning hours of the day. I like using a DOA Airhead rigged weedless and weightless popped across the top for snook, trout and redfish. Getting up early will become critical in the coming hot summer months. The flats will be holding fish shallow in the wee hours of the day. Don't totally write off fishing mid morning and early afternoon, just rethink your approach. Look to move to deeper water as that sun gets higher in the sky. A DOA shrimp will work well during these times, as well as a jerkbait and jig head. Glass minnows have moved in good so trying to match that hatch will be your best bet. 

Offshore

The large blackfin tuna bite was on fire for a few weeks, but has since slowed. Don't give up on these guys just yet, there are still some jumbos around. Live goggle eyes have been the key for them at the current time but don't over look your vertical jigs and trolling plugs. Jigging has been producing a good number of bonita as well as small blackfin tuna. Having a quality depth finder and marine chart will increase your odds of finding areas where these guys are holding. Throwing one of these little blacks on wire rig can be a great way to pick up a wahoo or large billfish. Have some double stingers rigged and ready to get them on the hook fast and back out. There has also been a lot a school size dolphin. Make sure to have a pitch bait ready like a DOA terror Eyz or Baitbuster when these inquisitive little guys surround your yak. 

See you on the water!
