OFFSHORE –Along with the South Florida heat, the dolphin bite is red hot right now, off the Coast of Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton. In Jupiter, the best depths of catching these bulls seem to be in 260-280 feet and around 500 feet because of the really nice weed lines gaining together in those ranges.
Sailfish have been reported in 200-300 feet from the Lake Worth/Palm Beach Inlet; Kingfish are also running in 95-105 feet.
On the bottom floor, yellowtail, mangrove and vermilion snapper are chewing in 75-95 feet along with the occasional mutton snapper. Red Grouper are showing up, however, most of them are undersized.
It has been a mixed bag off Boynton Beach, with kingfish, dolphin, blackfin tuna, cobia and yellowtail snapper all being hooked up by anglers.
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) are biting all over the place, scattering alone or in schools from 100-1,500 feet!

INSHORE –Tarpon are starting to make their appearance! Keep your eyes out for these "Silver Kings."
The snook are out in full force and are being found in the inlets, along the beaches and in the intercoastal.
*Keep in mind that snook season closed but will re-open on September 1st.*

Whichever way your boat drifts, you are bound to reel in a winner!
