In the Indian River, be sure to fish early because the bite is pretty much done by 9:30 a.m. Good numbers of snook, trout and redfish are being caught. You can also find ladyfish and jacks in the deeper water (3-5 feet).
At the bridges, anglers are hooking sheepshead, black drum, snapper and a lot of snook.
There’s no shortage of croaker or snook on Jupiter’s beaches either. In fact, many anglers are catching croaker, then using them as bait to land snook. The Jupiter Inlet is also loaded with snook.
The snook bite is excellent around the bridges of the Loxahatchee River at night.
The Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet is also full of snook, and some are also being caught in the surf along Palm Beach. You can find them throughout the Intracoastal Waterway in central and southern Palm Beach County as well. As always, fish at night and near structure – bridges, seawalls, docks, etc.
There seems to be a lot of pilchards and small sardines around the Boynton Beach Inlet, which has attracted a good mix of snook and jacks. You can also catch them in the Intracoastal.
FRESHWATER
If you get out on the water early, you can still have a great time targeting bass on Lake Okeechobee. Although the bite shuts down by around 10 a.m., anglers who are out before sunrise are catching a few dozen fish before heading back to the docks.
Most of the bigger fish being caught right now are in the 5-pound range, and they seem to prefer live shiners over artificial lures. You can, however, have success with either.
The pattern hasn’t changed all that much. You still want to fish along the outside edges and back in the grass, which has been much easier this past week, as the wind has laid down.
