Five species of turtles are found nesting on Florida beaches and protected by Florida state statutes.  Illegal harvesting, habitat encroachment, pollution, and hazardous boating are some of the things sea turtles fight to survive.

If you ever encounter an injured or dead sea turtle, please report it to Florida Fish and Wildlife…

Juno Beach Pier
The fishing this year in South Florida has been so plentiful and outstanding with anglers catching a variety of different species very consistently all year along.

Fishing Report
Rough and windy ocean kept a bunch of boats at the dock this past week and the weather doesn’t look so enticing this weekend due to the cold fronts, there has been a bit of fishing inconsistency.

The past few cold fronts that have moved in have helped the sailfish jump our way. Boats that are on the lookout for these sails should see multiple per day. Fishermen have been dropping a line to the bottom and have been hooking up on some nice size mutton snappers and couple groupers too.

INSHORE/SURF/PIER:
Inshore action remains best early in the mornings and late evenings. The flats fishing…
