PRE-THANKSGIVING FISHING FORECAST

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.

OFFSHORE:
With the extreme breezy weather, it may have perked up the fishing offshore! South Florida offshore should expect some schools of dolphin in the 150’-300’ range. 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…

CATCHING OFFSHORE FISH...INSHORE!

Far back inshore of the Intracoastal Waterway of Tequesta, Florida, a flats boat was anchored up in the north fork of the Loxahatchee river, right next to the Tequesta Bridge, where anglers were just casually fishing.

Normally, back in the Loxahatchee River, fishermen are more likely to hook up on a Jack crevalle, a lady fish or even a snook, where the saltwater is brackish, shallow and murky. On the other hand, sometimes the waters may have you guessing on what you’re reeling in.

A couple weeks ago, Captain Joe Kelly, informed me that his friend’s son was casually fishing along the north fork of the river, when he reeled in a fish he couldn’t even imagine to catch inshore. The kid saw a blaze of bright colors of mixed blues, deep green and yellow. Can…
