Scores conditions for each fish, not where they are or when a run starts. Water temperature is today’s reading applied to the whole week, so a cold front further out won’t show here until the water follows. Temperature ranges are rules of thumb for Florida inshore water; the snook range is from published research.
Fishing Jupiter
Jupiter has the shortest run to the Gulf Stream on this coast — sailfish, mahi, and blackfin tuna are minutes from the inlet. Inside, Jupiter Inlet and the Loxahatchee River are a genuine snook and tarpon fishery, with the inlet's clear, fast water making it one of the better places in Florida to actually watch fish eat. Permit and cobia work the nearshore wrecks just outside.
Target species
- Snook
- Tarpon
- Sailfish
- Permit
Local tip: Snook and tarpon set up on the inlet's outgoing; the incoming pushes clean blue water well up the river.
