Most of the fish have been in the 10-15-pound range, and trolling ballyhoo seems to be the most effective technique for catching them. There are also good numbers of sailfish being caught and released in 65-120 feet. Cobia are hanging around in 50 feet around the Sand Pile. Off Jupiter, the best dolphin action has been in 110-120 feet, but there are also plenty being reported about 15 miles out, if you’re willing to run that far. There are a lot of small blackfin tuna around as well, in 150-250 feet. The best fishing for blackfin tuna has been from Jupiter Inlet to the Hobe Sound public beach. The bait of choice seems to be a blackfin tuna feather (nothing larger than 3 inches). Larger fish should be appearing in the coming weeks. On the bottom, large mutton snapper are chewing in 95-105 feet, straight out the inlet. There are also big numbers of Spanish mackerel being caught right outside the inlet in 20 feet. Dolphin and a few scattered wahoo were reported in 150-225 feet off Palm Beach. There are also some blackfin tuna in the area, mostly in 200-250 feet. Some nice kingfish were hooked this week in 125-190 feet, and there has been some good mutton snapper action in 70-90 feet. Don’t be surprised if you hook a cobia while you’re working the bottom. Big numbers haven’t been reported yet, but there are definitely some around. The dolphin bite has been excellent off Boynton Beach this week, and they are biting in anywhere from 50-300 feet. Sailfish have been spotted in 100-200 feet. Kingfish are also running through the area. Most of the catches are under 7 pounds, but there have been a few over 30 pounds. The best action has been in 130-250 feet, although they’re being reported in as shallow as 65 feet. Mutton snapper are holding in 75 pounds, and there are some yellowtail snapper mixed in. The fall cobia migration has brought nice fish to the area, and they are biting in 120-165 feet. Blackfin and skipjack tuna are also chewing in 150-300 feet. The daytime swordfish bite has been solid off Boca Raton in 1,400 feet, and the best dolphin action has been 20 miles offshore. there has been some decent fishing in shallowere water, however, including big wahoo in 100-120 feet and yellowtail snapper in 80 feet. INSHORE The beach fishing along the Treasure Coast has been great this week. Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, bluefish, jacks and pompano are all biting. Spoons are working extremely well. There are still some tarpon hanging around but most of them are a little too far out to catch from shore. Boats running along the beach are having success though. Trout and redfish are both being caught n the west side of the Indian River, and snook are biting around bridges and deeper docks. The beach fishing in Jupiter has also been very active, with pompano, Spanish mackerel, bluefish and jacks all being snagged. There are still some mullet around but not in big schools, and you’ll also see the occasional snook and tarpon. Casting spoons has been very effective. In the Intracoastal Waterway and Loxahatchee River, jacks, snook and tarpon are all biting around mangrove edges, bridges and docks. The best action is, as you’d expect, at night. Ladyfish and jacks are being caught in the surf along Palm Beach. Those fishing early in the morning are also reporting some snook and tarpon. Jacks and small snapper are being caught in the Intracoastal throughout central and southern Palm Beach County, but the best bite is still snook around bridges and docks after the sun goes down. Jacks, bluefish and sheepshead are all being caught in the Intracoastal near the Lantana bridge, and moonfish and sand perch are hitting at night. There are still some decent mullet schools around the Boynton Beach Inlet and the beaches in south county. As a result, ladyfish, jacks, snook and tarpon are all being caught in the surf and near bridges in the Intracoastal. FRESHWATER The bass fishing has definitely improved on Lake Okeechobee. Better numbers and sizes of fish are being caught, and you can now hook them throughout the day - not just early in the morning, although that is still the most productive time to be out on the water. The fishing will continue to get better in the next few weeks, and November should be an excellent month for bass fishing. If the weather conditions will allow, your best bet is fishing the outside edges. Areas such as East Wall have been on fire this week. Artificial lures and live shiners are both working well, so it’s a matter of preference. However, on windy days, throwing artificial lures back in the grass is the way to go. The current water level on Lake Okeechobee is 15.75 feet.
