Default Camping in Jupiter

Going camping @ Johnathon Dickinnson State Park next weekend! Anyone have any spots to fish in that area? I have caught snook in the past when I've been there but was wanting to go offshore so any leads would be great!!!

While your at JDSP, look up and you'll see the Loran Tower. Once your go out the inlet (if seas are coopertive), go north and line yourself up in 90'-120' of water off that tower. That area has been a consistant producer

Loran tower has worked for me as well.. Also pick up a Fishing "Hot Spots" Chart from Boaters World..about $14.00-$15.00..has good wrecks and you can utilize your gps.
Lox river is good fishing too...I was born and raised in Jupiter and lived on Pennock Point on the Loxahatchee River..has changed quite a bit but I attached a mapquest map with a good fishing spot that worked for me especially during Novemeber and December for large Bluefish.Might want to put your boat in at the Burt Reynold's Park....there are two boat ramps there located on US1 south of JD State Park entrance...Use the Boat Ramp on the west side of US1....then you wont have to worry about the fixed brige you have to clear on the other ramp. (located on the east side of US1). Directions from the boat ramp..head north until you see the bridge on your left..if you go to the right you will be heading towards the inlet....when you see the bridge to the left (811 Bridge)..used to be called the old railroad bridge...go under and keep heading west...follow chanel markers to aviod the sand bars on either side (used to love to watch people try to navigate the river prior to the channel markers ...keep going and anchor right at the point that I marked...doesn't have to be exact but just right off the channel.Fish at night with incoming tide..chum with mullet and then throw in cut mullet...Here is an attached mapquest with notes..hopefully you can read it and it helps.

Also born and raised there in Tequesta/Jupiter on the Loxahatchee, I would say fishing the reefs south of the inlet(you will see the commercial guys) and head toward the Juno Pier same water depths as Chuck mentioned. Sounds like a great trip!
