The pompano bite has also been good in the Indian River, around the Spoil Islands.
The redfish and trout fishing has been good in the river as well. Your best bet is to find a cut where you can “hide” from the wind. The fish tend to be a bit smaller in these spots, but there are good numbers and plenty of action. The east and west side are working equally well; it all depends on wind direction.
The snook are still biting around the bridges, especially at night, and there are some ladyfish mixed in. The action should be even better in the next few days as a result of this week’s cold front.
It has been fairly quiet along the beaches of Jupiter, but there are Spanish mackerel and some pompano around.
The Intracoastal Waterway in and around Jupiter has been producing pompano and ladyfish. Pompano are also being reported in the Jupiter Inlet and at the Juno Beach Pier.
In addition to snook around the bridges, anglers in central and southern Palm Beach County are catching sheepshead, pompano, jacks, ladyfish and bluefish. Some of the best reports have come from the Lantana bridge.
Pompano have been hooked in the surf as well, from Palm Beach to Boca Raton. The best action is during the outgoing tide.
FRESHWATER
The wind has been blowing pretty strong across Lake Okeechobee this week. This makes it extremely challenging to fish the outside edges and back in the grass — which is where the best action is. Those who have managed to do so were rewarded. However, those who had to look elsewhere also enjoyed success.

There are good numbers of bass throughout the lake, and plenty of large ones as well. Several fish in the 5-to-7-pound range were snagged this week, and there were a handful that tipped the scales at over 8 pounds.
Live shiners and artificial lures are both working well, so it’s a matter of personal preference.
