Fishing Friday: What to Expect This November at Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
November marks a transition period in the Jupiter area fishing calendar. With the days getting cooler (relatively speaking!) and bait-fish on the move, the waters around Tequesta and Jupiter Inlet begin to light up. The latest report from Jupiter Pointe shows a strong inshore bite thanks to the mullet run, and offshore fish still showing up for anglers. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina+1
Because of the seasonal change:
The early-morning and late‐day windows become especially fruitful (the bite picks up when tides align and water cools).
Offshore species begin to shift toward deeper water and areas near structure or current breaks.
Inshore, predators like snook, tarpon and jack crevalle move in behind migrating bait.
If you’re a member of the boat club (or planning to become one) you’re in a great position to capitalize on these windows. The fleet at Jupiter Pointe is primed for both inshore and offshore trips. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina+1
Hot Species & Where to Target Them
Here are some key fish to keep an eye on in November around the Jupiter/Tequesta area:
Snook – Especially around sea-walls, bridge lights, and the inlet. As the water cools and bait pushes into structure, snook will be aggressive. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina+1
Tarpon – Still around in some of the inshore areas, particularly near incoming tides and migrating mullet. November can offer some exciting hook-ups. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
Jack Crevalle & Bluefish – These pack-hunting predators follow the bait schools, especially near beach surf and inlets. Great fun and fast action. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
Mahi-Mahi (Dolphinfish) – Offshore, the warmer blue waters still hold mahi around weed lines and floating debris. November may bring tighter windows as water shifts, so being ready is key. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina+1
Bottom-fish & Reef Species – If you drop down near the reefs and wrecks, vermillion snapper, triggerfish and similar species round out the cooler-weather mix. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
Best Strategies for November Trips
Here are some pro tips to help you maximize your day on the water:
Go early or stay late: The bite improves during cooler morning hours or at dusk. The boat club at Jupiter Pointe offers early-out and late-return options so you’re not cutting your trip short. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
Match the bait: Live mullet, pilchards, shrimp and live baits will shine inshore. Offshore, small ballyhoo, squid skirts and trolling rigs around floating debris will pay off. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
Check tides and currents: Especially around the inlet and sea walls. A strong outgoing tide often triggers predator activity. Jupiter Pointe Club & Marina
Be flexible: If offshore conditions are tricky (wind, swell), shift to inshore structure or back-waters – the fleet and team at Jupiter Pointe make switching decks easy.
Weather watch: As fall/winter approaches, wind shifts, fronts and slightly cooler water temps can change patterns quickly – plan accordingly and keep the day adaptive.

What to Expect This November at Jupiter Pointe
When you plan your next fishing day out, keep in mind:
Slots fill fast for prime tide windows — book early and aim for that sunrise or early afternoon slot.
November might bring high-quality fish rather than high-quantity. Big bites can happen; be prepared.
Family or mixed-use outings (fishing + sandbar stop + cruising) are absolutely doable — the fleet supports both fishing and fun.
Take the opportunity to explore both inshore and offshore in the same day if weather & tide allow.

Tight lines and enjoy the upcoming season! 🎣
