From Todd &Trey @ Juno Bait -Juno Beach

INSHORE-  Snook season opens tonight at midnight (2/1) for the east coast, and reports sound pretty good overall.  Winter snook fishing is always a little bit tougher, but those putting the time in are finding a fair number of willing fish around.  The bridges will be a good starting spot, especially on an outgoing tide.  A shrimp jig is a good lure choice, as is a flair hawk.  The snook won’t be super active, so presentation of the lure and patience is key in getting the bites.  The Hobe Sound Flats (west side of ICW between Mile Marker 40-44) continue to hold a nice mixed bag variety of species.  A few spotted seatrout, occasional redfish, ladyfish, pompano, jack, and small snook are all hanging around the flats right now.  Pompano action slowed a bit in the Loxahatchee River this week, but a handful of fish have been caught throughout the week on Goofy Jigs. 
 
SURF/PIER-  A large swell made fishing tough early in the week, but overall things seem to be picking up.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair number of bluefish, a few pompano, scattered Spanish Mackerel, some kingfish, and plenty of blacktip sharks.  Fishing from the surf was a bit slower this week, but pompano reports north of Jupiter Inlet have started to improve (still a bit spotty south of Jupiter).  Bluefish are biting fairly well in Hobe Sound.  Plenty of sharks moving along the beach for those looking for something a little bigger to pull on!  Super Bowl Weekend tends to really mark the kickoff (pun intended) of the full on spinner/blacktip migration for South Florida.
