ANDREW "RED" HARRIS FOUNDATION

Andrew “Red” Harris Foundation is working on improving our marine environment along with keeping Andrew Harris’ legacy alive.  Andrew, like most Floridians, had pure love for our local south Florida waters, whether it is leisurely snorkeling and observing the natural wildlife or hunting for fish and lobsters, fishing out in the ocean or the Intercostal Waterways. Heartbreakingly, on June 8, 2014, Andrew life was taken abruptly after being struck by a boat while snorkeling in the Jupiter Inlet. Andrew’s family and friends have joined together to build this Foundation to represent all what Andrew lived for. His athletics, his love for the ocean, and you can do anything attitude. 

The first foundations fundraising event will be a golf tournament at Tequesta…

JUPITER – A COASTAL WAY OF LIFE

Tucked into the northernmost corner of Palm Beach County is the beautiful waterfront Town of Jupiter.  Jupiter is blessed with an abundance of water and natural beauty.  Its small town charm is enhanced by the historic Jupiter Lighthouse, which has stood protectively overlooking the Jupiter Inlet for more than 150 years.  To the east lies miles of sandy white Atlantic Ocean beaches with turquoise blue waters.  To the west is “the wild and scenic Loxahatchee River” thought to be one of the last remaining wild river ways in the nation.

BEAT THE HEAT

Fishing Report 8.1.14

It is looking like a pretty nice weekend ahead. Possibly a few scattered thunderstorms to deal with and hopefully just enough south/southeast breeze to help get some fish fired up!

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing should improve by this weekend if the weather forecast stays true, usual light west winds have most of the dolphin beyond way offshore; so a little southeast wind should help get some dolphin pushed back in a little closer.
Kingfish have started to show back up with the building moon. The usual August kingfish school is starting to stack up off of Jupiter, along the 120’ ledge.  In Miami-Dade reefs, the Kingfish bite is on fire.
Wahoo action was scattered this week, but a few were brought in. Expect the wahoo to improve as the…

BUG HUNTERS GET READY

Florida Lobster season opens with a two-day recreational mini season, which is your chance to catch the biggest tails before the commercial fishermen set their traps. The mini-season opens on Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. and there are many clues that there will be more scuba divers and snorkelers chasing the tasty crustaceans than ever before. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a total of 121,181 annual lobster permits were purchased from July 2013-June 2014, an increase of nearly 30% from last year. The competitive advantage is minimized by the fact that as many as 50,000 other divers invade the state's reefs during this intense 48 hours.

In Broward and Palm Beach, the first reef line is an easy swim from shore and holds…
