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. 

It is here in this quaint seaside town of Jupiter, that the Gulf Stream comes closest to shore in all of the United States.  Anglers worldwide, enjoy the best saltwater and freshwater fishing off our shores.

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.
