What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard our skiff in Jupiter, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise through some of the most productive inshore waters in South Florida, hitting prime spots for tarpon, snook, redfish, and permit. Your guide knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you'll be tapping into years of local knowledge. We're talking grass flats, mangrove shorelines, and hidden creeks that most tourists never see. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety - one minute you might be sight-casting to tailing redfish, the next you could be battling a silver king (that's guide-speak for a big tarpon). And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll show you the ropes and have you casting like a pro in no time.

Rods, Reels, and Tactics

On this trip, we're all about matching the hatch and using the right tools for the job. We'll be armed with a mix of light and medium tackle, perfect for the inshore species we're after. Expect to use a variety of techniques throughout the day - from finesse live bait fishing for snook under the mangroves to throwing artificial lures for sea trout on the flats. We might even break out the fly rods if conditions are right and you're up for it. The name of the game is versatility, and we've got all the gear you need to adapt to whatever the fish are biting on. Don't sweat it if you're not familiar with all the gear - your guide will walk you through everything, from how to work a topwater lure to the art of setting the hook on a big tarpon.

Top Catches This Season

Jupiter's inshore waters have been on fire lately, with anglers scoring some impressive catches. We've seen clients hook into monster snook pushing 40 inches, redfish tailing in skinny water, and tarpon that'll make your arms sore for days. One group last week landed a grand slam - that's a snook, redfish, and tarpon all in one trip. Talk about bragging rights! The permit fishing has been particularly hot, with several fish in the 15-20 pound range coming to the boat. Whether you're looking to check species off your list or just want to bend a rod, the fishing here rarely disappoints.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are a staple of Jupiter's inshore scene. Known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps, snook love to hang around structure like mangrove roots and dock pilings. They're most active during the warmer months, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Landing a big snook is a real thrill - they're smart, strong, and not afraid to use the current to their advantage.

Tarpon: The silver king is the crown jewel of inshore fishing. These prehistoric giants can grow well over 100 pounds and are famous for their spectacular aerial displays. Tarpon season peaks in late spring and early summer, but we see them rolling in Jupiter's waters throughout much of the year. Hooking a tarpon is one thing - landing one is a whole different ballgame. It's a test of skill, patience, and sometimes sheer determination.

Sea Trout: Often overlooked but always fun to catch, sea trout are abundant in Jupiter's grass flats. They're great for anglers of all skill levels, willing to hit both live bait and artificial lures. The "gator" trout (the big ones) put up a respectable fight and make for excellent table fare if you're looking to bring home dinner.

Redfish: With their copper-colored scales and distinctive spot near the tail, redfish are a sight to behold. They love shallow water and can often be seen "tailing" - feeding with their backs out of the water. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and dogged fights. They're around all year but tend to school up in larger numbers during the fall.

Permit: The holy grail for many inshore anglers, permit are notoriously picky eaters and challenging to catch. They've got excellent eyesight and can spook easily, making them a true test of an angler's skill. When you do hook up, be ready for a fight - permit are incredibly strong for their size and will make blistering runs. Catching a permit is often a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for many anglers.
