The weather forecast in the southeast region of Florida for this weekend may leave the ocean on the rougher side. As for Friday and Saturday, it will be the nicer of the days and Sunday will pick up some breeze and cause the marine forecast to be a bit bumpier. That being said it is predicted to be a fishy weekend!

OFFSHORE-
The north winds will be in the forecast causing the sailfish action! Search for the best action to be between 150’-300’ if your out of both Palm Beach and Jupiter inlets for the sailfish. Around the same areas, Dolphin fishing has been really good and showing up in great numbers along with a mixed assortment of other decent size fish.

Florida’s gentle giant, the Manatee, roams around the Southeast of Florida all year round, but in the months from November to April you will be able to see a lot more of these mellow sea creatures when things get a bit chilly.

Manatees head to places like freshwater springs, warm waters, or places where the water temperature remains at a constant in South Florida. In spite of their size, the endangered gentle giant has very little body fat and needs warm water to survive. As the cooling waters of Florida have started to subtly change into winter weather, the manatee travels inland and offers kayakers or small vessels with an an amazing opportunity to see these gentle creatures. “Seeing a large number of manatees in one place is an amazing experience,…

10.31.14 Fishing Report

For the thrill of Halloween weekend, it seems the fishing will be facing a trick instead of a treat. Not just one, but two cold fronts will affect our fishing forecast. The first cold front is moving in on Friday (Halloween) night and then a second on Saturday, with strong winds making the ocean rough for anglers.

OFFSHORE-
The ocean will be very rough this weekend, but if you are able to sneak through the winds, you may scout a sailfish as the rough conditions are perfect for them and will most likely see dolphin as well. Cobia made a nice display this past week along the edge and around wrecks. Snapper fishing has remained very good out of Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlets too.

The last school of the mullet run is still…

Daylight Savings Time (DST) is this weekend, which means we get an extra hour of sleep this Sunday morning.  Plan on turning your clocks back an hour at 2:00am, Sunday, November 2, 2014.  Most smartphones, computers and cable television box connections will do this automatically.

This will mark the beginning of Standard Time.  Standard time means we will have one less hour of daylight in the evening for the next four months through March 8. The days will lengthen and transition back to Daylight Savings Time in the spring. 

If you get confused, remember the phrase “spring forward, fall back”.
