Juno Bait's "Weekend Fishing Outlook"
For Weekend of 6/20-6/22/25
OFFSHORE- Still getting some fairly decent dolphin reports this week. 500-800' of water seemed to be the most consistent range for the dolphin; with some reports coming in shallower and deeper a s well. The usual assortment of trolling baits (ballyhoo, bonita strip, squid) will continue to work on the dolphin. Blackfin tuna bite slowed agin this week, with some still some being caught in 200-300' of water. Wahoo bite never really seemed to get going on the full moon; hopefully a few more start to show up ahead of the July moon. Kingfish bite remains fair along the 120' ledge. Snapper fishing seemed to be a little better this week, with a good mixed bag of yellowtail and mutton snapper around.
INSHORE- Definitely moving into the summer inshore doldrums at a rapid pace. Catch and release snook fishing remains the best bet; but even that is getting a bit tough. Best bet is to target the snook at night around bridges and dock lights, especially on an outgoing tide. Bridges closer to the inlets will likely have more fish than ones further inshore. A few scattered mangrove snapper and sand perch reports, but overall a pretty tough pick.
SURF/PIER- The surf has been a bit quiet this week; with slightly chopped up conditions and a fair amount of seaweed and slime making fishing a bit tough. The Juno Beach Pier though has been producing a few fish this week. Catch and release snook fishing has been fairly good on the pier, especially on days that the bait pushes in good. Best bait for the snook has been sand perch and sardines, with the bite seeming to be a little better late in the afternoon. A fair number of jacks (mostly smaller) still swimming by. Some good schools of tarpon around as well. No mangrove snapper reports yet on the pier; but it is about time for them to start showing up a bit.
