With the mullet run being the highlight of the past couple of weeks, most fishing has been geared toward snook, large tarpon, and amberjack chasing schools through inlets, inshore, on the beach, and at the Juno Pier. Your trustiest bait is live mullet itself, which can be found during low light periods of the day away from boat traffic. If you’re looking for a little more fun in exchange for less reliability, using top water plugs creates some exciting action as snook will strike these much harder, sometimes becoming airborne exploding on the surface.

Reef anglers should be catching some kingfish and snapper this time of year, but this week has

You’ve seen it mentioned in luxury listings, you’ve known friends or family members who can’t live without one, and you may have had one yourself without even knowing it, but what exactly is a “chef’s kitchen”?

While most of us aren’t the next Rachel Ray or Bobby Flay, it’s still nice to prepare dinner in a kitchen fit for a professional chef. Here are examples from some of our luxury listings modeling qualifications for the ever-desirable “chef’s kitchen”. Click on each photograph if you would like to see more on the complete listing!

The City of Lake Worth is calling for local designers, architects and dreamers to come up with a vision for their Cultural Arts District. All submissions will be showcased at a formal gallery opening, on display for residents, entrepreneurs, property owners and investors.

Now, we are inviting the design community to look at the city with fresh eyes and to envision what its future might hold," says the Envision Lake Worth website.

Everyone in Jupiter has seen the PonTiki boats cruising around the Jupiter Intracoastal during sunset. The open-air tiki barge promises tasty libations on the water, jamming out to island music, and showing its passengers a taste of the Jupiter good life, but they’ve decided to step up their game...literally.

Not only has PonTiki cruises gone public, but they now offer Monday Night Football cruises for all-American sports fans out there. Starting at 8:00 pm kickoff, PonTiki’s Shaka boat departs from Harbourside Marina fully loaded with 40 passengers, two satellite TVs, beer, wine, wings, and sliders. We know what you’re thinking, and yes, there’s even a bathroom on board.

This Monday, cruise down the Jupiter Intracoastal while cheering on your

The only thing better than the Phat Panda's logo of a chubby panda on a surf board is their appetizing menu of tasty cultural food! The Phat Panda is a brand new spot on Donald Ross Road in Juno Beach that has a casual atmosphere and a simple menu packed with flavor.

The eatery opened just a couple of weeks ago with a kick-off menu of authentic street food including open-faced tacos served on two corn torillas (pictured above), Banh Mi Vietnamese-style sandwiches on French Baguettes, and rice bowls like the "Halal at ya boy" with basmati rice, organic mixed greens and tomatoes, naan bread, white sauce and a choice of grilled chicken or roasted chickpeas. There's also a "half-pint" option where you can choose from a taco, half banh mi, or half

The historic "Duck's Nest" on the island of Palm Beach is the town's oldest residence, reminding us of the pioneer days of the Palm Beaches. At 125 years old, the property is ready for some revamping- and the town is expressing major excitement about it. 

Built in 1891, the Duck's Nest at 305 Maddock Way is the oldest standing house in Palm Beach. This was before the barrier island was connected to the Florida mainland by bridges, so much of the home was assembled in parts in New York and shipped here by barge- the only option for transportation. 

The home was built by the Maddock family and they resided there for 125 years. In July, the family sold the house after their proposal to demolish and replicate it was unfavored by the community.

Blowing Rocks Preserve in Hobe Sound is a beautiful display of natural Anastasia Limestone rock along the coast of our clear Atlantic waters.
