Jupiter & Palm Beach Offshore Saltwater Fishing Report

West Palm Beach Fishing Gets Hot! Dolphin, Sailfish and Kingfish dominate offshore fishing from Jupiter to Palm Beach. After poor summer fishing for dolphin this fall has been awesome. Fish to 30lbs. have been common but most fish are 10-15lbs. The larger dolphin have been caught live baiting with goggle eyes and small blue runners, while the smaller fish have beentaken on small jigs and cut bait. Proving an excellent light spin tackle opportunity. Most dolphin have been caught from 180-400 feet of water, look for scattered weeds and color changes for the best action. Sailfishing has been good as well, hopefully this is a prelude of what's to come as peak season approaches. Last tear's warm southerly winds and warmer water temps discouraged a full-blown sailfish migration into our area. There are quite a few here now, let's hope the rest of the pack joins the party and settle in off Palm Beach. Although there have not been many all-out kingfish "blitzes" we caught many drifting dead bait in 90-130 feet of water. On more than one occasion we've had a large "smoker" king sky-rocket a kite bait. King Mackerel can be tough to hook when they blast a bait 10 feet in the air, but just witnessing the event is worth it.
