Palm Beach Report

INSHORE

Big jacks are being caught on the beaches of the Treasure Coast first thing in the morning. There are also plenty of whiting and croaker around.
There are a few snook in the surf, but your best bet is still targeting them inside the inlet or around bridges and docks in the Indian River.
Big snook and redfish are biting on the west side of the river (especially around docks) between County Line Road and Walton Road. Tarpon are also being caught around the bridges at night and in the early-morning hours.
There are big schools of jacks along the beaches of Jupiter and pompano are still being caught near the top of the tide. There are some snook around, and they seem to be holding throughout the day.
However, much like in the Treasure Coast, the best approach for hooking a snook is still working the bridges and dock lights (at night) of the Intracoastal Waterway, or inside the inlets. This goes for all anglers in central and southern Palm Beach County. Those fishing the inlets seem to be having the most success during the incoming tide.
Ladyfish and jacks are also being caught around the bridges, along with a few tarpon late at night.
FRESHWATER
The best bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee is still along the outside edges and back in the grass. With the temperature heating up, you want to be out on the water as early as possible — preferably before sunrise. While there are fish biting throughout the day, if you want good numbers, the window is getting smaller and smaller.
East Wall and West Wall are a couple hot spots for anglers targeting bass on the southern tip of the lake.
Live shiners are still working better than artificial lures at this time, but skilled anglers can have success either way. You will likely catch larger — and more — bass with shiners though.
