INSHORE
Bluefish and big jacks are being caught from the beaches of the Treasure Coast early in the morning. Once the sun is up for a few hours, whiting and big croaker move in.
In the Indian River, redfish are biting on the west side (from County Line Road north), and there are good numbers of trout, jacks, ladyfish and small snook mixed in.
For bigger snook, fish the bridges and docks at night. There have been several “monsters” caught — mostly over slot, which is 28-32 inches.
Some pompano have been reported in the surf along Jupiter, and snook are starting to show up in decent numbers. Fishing right before dark has been a good time for hooking pompano.
In the Intracoastal Waterway, there are snook at the bridges in and around Jupiter, in addition to jacks and mangrove and lane snapper.
There has been a great snook bite at night in the Loxahatchee River as well.
The beach fishing has been a little slow in central and southern Palm Beach County this week, but there have been a few jacks and Spanish mackerel caught between Palm Beach and Boca Raton. A couple snook were also reported, and bluefish were caught from the shore in Boynton Beach and Delray Beach.
In the Intracoastal, target snook at the bridges and docks at night, and look for jacks in the flats. There have been sand perch reported near bridges as well.
FRESHWATER
Decent numbers of bass were being plucked out of Lake Okeechobee, and the recent cool front made the action even hotter. Anglers were reporting great days on the water this week, and several bass weighing more than 6 pounds were hooked.
The best fishing remains along the outside edges and back in the grass, but they can be caught throughout the lake. With the slightly cooler temperatures this week, the bite has been solid regardless of time of day.
Live shiners are still working better than artificial lures, but you can have success either way.
