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.
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.
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.
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.

Permit are the holy grail of flats fishing here in Jupiter. These wary, disc-shaped fish can top 30 pounds and are incredibly challenging to catch. We find them tailing on shallow flats or cruising near offshore wrecks. Permit have excellent eyesight and spook easily, so stealth is key. They primarily feed on crabs, so that's our go-to bait. When hooked, permit make blistering runs and fight dirty around structure. Spring and fall are prime seasons as fish move between flats and reefs. Sight-fishing for permit is an addictive game of stalking and precise casting. My best advice: practice your casting before the trip - you might only get one shot at these finicky fish. Landing a big permit on fly is the ultimate inshore accomplishment.

Redfish are one of our most popular inshore targets here in Jupiter. These bronze bruisers typically run 20-30 inches, but bulls over 40 inches show up in fall. You'll find them tailing on shallow flats or cruising mangrove shorelines, often in just a foot or two of water. Redfish feed on crabs, shrimp, and small fish, so we match our baits accordingly. They're not the fastest fish, but they pull like freight trains. Sight-fishing for tailing reds is a rush - you'll see that copper-colored tail waving as they root for crabs. For best results, fish falling tides when reds are forced out of the mangroves. My top tip: use scented soft plastics like Gulp! crabs when the bite is tough. There's nothing quite like the thump of a big red inhaling your bait.

Sea trout, or specks as we call 'em, are a staple of inshore fishing here. Most run 15-20 inches, but gator trout over 5 pounds aren't uncommon. Look for them over grass flats and around oyster bars, especially early and late in the day. Winter is prime time as big schools bunch up in deeper holes. These fish have soft mouths, so a light touch is key when fighting them. Live shrimp under a popping cork is deadly, but artificial lures like soft plastics and topwaters work great too. Sea trout make excellent table fare, with a mild, flaky meat. For the best action, try drifting and fan-casting grass flats on a falling tide. My go-to lure is a white soft plastic on a 1/4 oz jighead - works like a charm for these speckled beauties.

Snook are one of the craftiest inshore species we target here in Jupiter. These silver-sided predators typically run 24-36 inches and put up an acrobatic fight. You'll find them lurking around mangroves, docks, and bridge pilings, especially during summer spawning season. Snook love ambushing prey in moving water, so fishing tide changes is key. Live bait like pilchards or pinfish work great, but artificials like soft plastics and topwater plugs can be deadly too. These fish have razor-sharp gill plates, so watch your hands when handling them. For the best shot at a big snook, try fishing docklights at night with a live mullet - that's how we land some real monsters. Just remember, snook are catch-and-release only from June to August to protect spawning.

Tarpon are the silver kings of inshore fishing here in Jupiter. These prehistoric beasts can top 150 pounds and put on an aerial show like no other fish. We find them rolling in the inlet and along beaches from spring through fall, with peak action in summer. Tarpon feed on anything from crabs to mullet, so we'll match the hatch with live bait or lures. When hooked, be ready for spectacular leaps and long, powerful runs. Landing one takes skill and patience - sometimes over an hour for big fish. Early mornings are prime time to sight-cast to rolling tarpon. My top tip: use circle hooks to improve hookups and make releases easier on these catch-and-release gamefish. There's nothing quite like the thrill of battling one of these giants on light tackle.
