Fishing Forecast 2.10.16

Inshore

March is here! Clean water and grass flats will most likely be more difficult to find with the Lake Okeechobee releases.  Try fishing more structure like docks, bridges and mangrove to locate your fish. Focus your time on points in the mangrove line and docks with the most current. Throwing DOA shad tails and jerk baits will work well.   

Offshore

Fishing will start to pick up this month with larger kingfish and more mahi swimming in our waters. The sailfish bite will continue to be good as well fishing goggles eyes from 90-180’. Always be on the lookout for rip lines and color changes.  Setting up in these areas will bring you greater success without the work of trolling around. Cobia in March has always been good for us. These fish will start to move from the beach to the reef line. Fishing Jupiter to Delray Beach reefs bouncing the bottom with jigs, sardines and pilchards are your best bets.  Put your time in and you should find a few.

Fishing Forecast 1.10.16

Inshore

February is a good time to target a lot of different species. From Pompano, Jacks and sheepheads around deeper cuts to snook, reds , flounder and trout on the flats and structure.  Launching at Sawfish Bay Park in Jupiter will give you quick access to great pompano flats and docks for snook. The snook in this area can be picky so small baits are best and a fly rod even better. During this time the water is a lot colder than most of the year. When fishing the flats, hit the water a little later in the day and target sand holes and areas with dark mud. These spots will warm quicker than surrounding areas and should be holding fish.  Remember snook season opens February 1.

Offshore

The cobia will start to move into the beaches following around the rays, sharks and turtles. I like to have a DOA Swimming Mullet ready to pitch to them when spotted.  Sailfish, wahoo and dolphin will also still be frequent catches in February. Look for these 3 to be found from 90-120 feet chasing goggle eyes, runners and pilchards. Remember to watch the weather closely as launching in the winter things can change quick offshore.
