When to fish Jupiter

Jupiter fishes all year. Snook stack at the inlet and in the Loxahatchee River spring through fall (harvest seasons apply). Sailfish peak December through March on the offshore cold-front bite; mahi run April through August; kingfish are best spring and fall. Tarpon move through the inlet and along the beaches April through July, and juvenile tarpon live in the river year-round. Cobia show on the spring migration over the nearshore reefs and following rays. Blackfin tuna are catchable on the offshore structure much of the year. Winter fronts turn on the sailfish and the pompano.
