fishing around Jupiter Flordia in April?
Was wondering how the offshore fishing was around Jupiter in April and what the water Vis. usually is. I am going down around April for the first time and I am looking to do some offshore fishing and Spearfishing. Also some good spots to hit while Im down there thanks much.
Its damn good in april here. We still have sails thick, monster kings move in and the first waves of big dolphin show. We even have a fairly good marlin fishery. The swordfish peter out later in the month but early on is fair to very good ... Our "shelf " is pretty small and we have a big population of people beating on it so spearfishing is only ok but still not too bad.
There are ten zillion good bars up and down the line. Some on the water, some dives and some "Chip and Muffy " kinds of places...
Generally clear and blowin from the east pretty good but still fishable. Jupiter inlet can be a ***** on the east and especially bad on out going. Palm Beach inlet is about 14 miles to the south. Much safer route out.
Though not common that late in the season, we do get some cold fronts. Usually blows hard from north west for a few hours. Northwest isn't bad but it will swing north and then north east before going east or soouth east and backing off. That north and north east can get big in a hurry.
As one of those fronts approach we often get a really nice day or even two before it gets here. Thats when to look for dolphin or get a sword drift in. When the front arrives, slow things up , stay in tight and pick some sails...
