From Henry & Fred @ Snook-Nook - Jensen Beach


Well how about this weather, bright sunny days and yes a little wind starting early afternoon and depending on who you talk to the fishing has been pretty good.
       Talking to the bridge anglers they will tell you about all the Black Drum,  Blues and Macs they have been catching. Been an all day bite using shrimp and in the mix plenty of big Sheep head, Jacks and a few Trout not a bad days catch.  Plenty of Snook
for the evening angler, once that sun goes down play those light lines, Shrimp and Flair Hawks proffered, cast your bait up into the current and work it back slowly. Now about those Pompano, hate to say it but the weather has been to nice,not one cold snap, not even a short one.  Yes there has been some but the bite has been short and no pattern.  I would  say high in coming tide but they do not read the report, so this week at Stuart causeway  the water was low and no current and they were chewing, go figure.
       The east wind has kept most anglers on the east side of the river, so starting at County line Road and going north it has been top of the slot Red fish, all on the west side, another group that does not read this report. These fish are in two feet of water, water is turbid, watch for the splash as they pick over a bait school.  My favored bait is a small gold spoon or a live shrimp, something I can work very slow, they need to get on top of the bait.
Trout ahs been good but you have to be 3’ or 4’ of water and again these fish are deep. North side of Nettles Island and north from there, early bite and they will about any thing that moves. Pompano skipping in many locations, the only catch's has been those that skipped into the boat, Pompano?  In the mix has been Mac’s, Jack’s, Blue’s, even a few Flounder made the chart this week.
    Surf anglers report a good bite of Blue Fish early on spoons, top water and cut bait and you
can mix in the Mac’s and Jack’s but after that sun has been up for a short time these move to deeper water.  Plenty of big Whiting, best part is they are there all day eating any thing you
you have on your line.  Now about the Pompano, yes they are there but no pattern to call, sand fleas and clam are the favored bait, most have been caught buy anglers fishing for the Whiting.
