From Henry @ Snook Nook -Jensen Beach

Enough rain, I know the fish are all ready wet so they don’t mind but what about us anglers?

Then about the wind, more wind than I want to talk about, add the rain and it was not pretty. Only anglers that were happy were the Snook anglers, the worst the weather the better the Snook fishing. Snook are a strong fish, they like it when the currents are running and the surface is churning, for them not a problem every other species is victim to the currents. As they get washed about the Snook can take their pick of dinner, how convient. So now you know why all the nutty anglers were on the bridges in all that great Snook weather. Reds have made a strong show, the area from Bear Point south to Blind Creek, sheltered form the winds and no turbidity as one will find on the west side, plenty of mullet with a mix of Trout, Jacks and Blue fish to keep you busy. Most of the Reds have been in the top of the slot (18”/27”) so have your ruler ready, Snook are all shorts but fun to catch. As the turbid settles in the river fishing will pick up, but as I said earlier the fish are all ready wet it will be more comfortable for the anglers. Snook, pick a bridge, let the sun go down and get your favored bait in the water, then hang on, most will be above the slot (28”/34”), have you ruler ready.

Surf has been churned up, strong currents mixing plenty of sand, as this settles out have your Spoons ready. With all the mullet on the beach it will be Blue’s, Jacks, Snook and few Tarpon to test your equipment.

Favored time would be sun up but if you can’t make that get a tide chart, two hours before high tide and the first two hours of the falling will find plenty of fish. Good size Croakers and Whiting will keep you busy the rest of the time, small Pompano still a little early for this species.
