From Henry@ Snook-Nook - Jensen Beach

Surf anglers had a good week with Pompano and Blues being the target. We had reports from Ft. Pierce to Hobe Sound at differing times but a lot of good catch's were reported. Lots of sand fleas on the surfs edge made for good fishing but clams were the favored for the Pompano. Cut baits and Spoons for the Blues and Mac’s, early for the numbers but we had fish reported all day, weather was perfect. Looking for the Whiting, wait till mid morning when the sun warms warms that edge then a pitch to the trough will find them, do not forget the ice.  In the river it has been the bridges with a long catch list from Black Drum to Ribbon fish and every thing in between, shrimp has been the bait and the good part has been it has been all day. Blues, Mac ’s, Pompano, flounder and the list goes on, not a lot of any one species but a lot of fish. Pompano were a the east bridges until the Mac’s moved in, as they left the Pompano were back and then the Blues and Mac’s would show, it was in and out all day. Reds were north at the cove on the north side of Nettles up to Big Mud in the shallow water, angler were sure they were mullet until they were right up on them. Some Trout reported along with Flounder but he Reds were the target. River has slowed down, salt water is moving back into the St. Lucie river, you might want to check out the Hells Gate area if you are a Pompano fan, marker 19# for Mac’s, I am just not a fan of fresh water in our rivers. 

                 Snook season closes on the 15th,

If you are going to get one more this is the week, pick a bridge after sun down, meet you there.
