Subject: Good "snookin" in Jupiter
Jupiter Inlet is holding large concentrations of snook of all sizes. While the main body(bodies) of fish are is very mobile, the tip of the north jetty has been the best producer. When the sun is high and the water is clear you can see the fish holding on the bottom. The "knocker" rig is the most common presentation used in Jupiter. It holds the bait on the bottom without allowing the baitfish to swim too far off the bottom.
During an outing one evening while anchored an angler on the boat next to us hooked a tarpon on a small casting outfit. The guy was by himself and had to pull anchor, throttle up and fight(attempt to fight) an 80-100lbs. tarpon. Last we saw of him he was south of Jupiter halfway to the Juno pier. Hope he doesn’t get too close to the pier!
Westerly winds have seemed to have pushed the weedlines away from the coast. Dolphin fishing has still been decent. There has been a strong north current and there has been no shortage of current edges and riplines around 145 feet. We have been fishing around this type of "structure" and have seen fish almost everyday. Mostly schoolies. Runnin’ and gunnin’ would be your best bet for larger fish.
In the same areas sailfish, wahoo, bonito, kingfish, cuda’s, marlin, and blackfin tuna have been caught recently off Jupiter.
Weather’s been great early with afternoon T-storms. Now is time to do your thing, but be smart you don’t want to be caught out there if there is lightning in the area. After the storms until dark has been an exceptional time to be out. Give it a thought

If it doesn’t have fins, props or hooters…Count me out!!! Captain Rob
