Jupiter & Palm Beach Offshore Saltwater Fishing Report

Dolphin Days Ahead Windy conditions are keeping most boaters at the dock. Relatively strong East/Northeast winds have prevailed for seven days now, so I can honestly report that except for a day or two of inshore plugging, my boat has been on the rack. Typically, a transitional period occurs this time of year. Fishing will be difficult for several days or weeks, due to unstable weather. To some, this occurrence is not a bad thing. After two or three months of hardcore sailfishing, many boats (and crews) need some kind of servicing. Get it done now! Any day, the seas will calm, and the easterly winds will have pushed clean, warm Gulfstream water close to our coast. Filled with weeds and other debris, the fish will follow. Change the line and grease your reels because as the bait moves in, fishing will break open. Dolphin, amberjack, jack crevalle, cobia, snook, bonita and wahoo will be the target of many anglers. Trolling, live baiting or casting, those who put in their time are sure to score with a variety of fish. Deep jigging and bottom fishing will produce as well. Get ready! Sooner or later a good body of fish will pass through our area. You know what they say about the early bird. As soon as the wind calms, I’ll be out there for sure. Hope to see you too!!
