INSHORE
There are still good numbers of mullet on the beaches of the Treasure Coast. If you find the mullet, you’ll likely find tarpon. The best tarpon bite seems to start at around 6 p.m.after the afternoon storms move through the area.
Whiting, croaker, pompano, bluefish and Spanish mackerel are all biting as well, mostly north of the St. Lucie Inlet.
There has been some epic snook fishing in the Indian River this week. The best action is in the shadowlines of the bridges during early-morning hours (2-4 a.m.). Topwater plugs are working extremely well.
There have been schools of large redfish on the west side of the river.
Mullet schools are still running the beaches in Jupiter, which has attracted nice snook, tarpon and some bluefish.
The snook fishing has been good around bridges and docks at night in the Intracoastal Waterway. There are also a lot of sheepshead and mangrove snapper at these spots.
Snook and tarpon are chewing around structure in the Loxahatchee River.

FRESHWATER
The water level is way up on Lake Okeechobee, and the fishing is getting better as well. The best action seems to be along the outside edges and back in the grass, but there are fish being caught out in the main lake as well.
Live shiners and artificial lures are both working very well. Although the fishing window is getting bigger as the weather cools slightly, the best action is still early in the morning. To catch good numbers, you need to be out on the water before sunrise, and the bite shuts off around 10 a.m.
