From Henry@ Snook-Nook - Jensen Beach

Well we had a good week of fishing both inshore and 

off. Weather was less than predictable from wind to no wind, sun to clouds, both warm and cool and then the showers it was all here this week.   

Surf has been fishable one day and not the next, 

one hour then not, one of those weeks. On the catch list it has been Blues and Mac’s early for numbers, cut bait has put them on the hook. Pompano for the long cast, small but a lot of them to sort through, clams and sand fleas preferred, take your time the bite has been all day. 

Whiting and Croaker around lunch time, bring the ice you will want to keep your catch fresh.Pick a beach from FT. Pierce to Hobe Sound we have had reports, good fishing but the conditions are what makes it happen.River anglers the Trout are in four feet of water, they prefer water temps that do not change, the comfort zone. Look at the channels, slow your retrieve and you will find them, because they are deep pick the time and come on down. Reds like the cooler water and they will be in that two foot of water but then so will the Blues and Jacks. Slow your retrieve Blues and Mac’s and Jacks prefer and faster moving bait, they can not stand to have something 

getting away. Early has been best but with our over cast mornings you could just about pick the time, but you will need moving water. Pompano in and out is the 

best I can do for this species, be the bridges or the crossroads I give up trying to predict their presents. One thing for sure if you fishing the river or the bridges and pompano is the target that little Jigging Spoon is the bait, with the teaser or with a piece of clam that is up to the angler, those little spoons just work. Lots of other stuff at the bridges Black Drum, Sheephead, Snapper, Pompano, Blues , Macs, Jacks, Lady fish the list goes on, bridges have been the go to location for numbers, lots  of fish and shrimp will get them all. Now if this weather will just settle down.................
