Scouting Around Palm Beach And Martin County

INSHORE FISHING
Along the beaches in the Jensen area, the bite for whiting, croaker and sand perch has been good recently. Mostly working the first trough, they are being caught using frozen shrimp and Fishbites.
Closer to the St. Lucie Inlet, the snook bite has been good as well. They are mostly hitting live bait, including pilchards and small croaker.
Up into the St. Lucie River, there have been a few trout and some redfish caught.
Surf casting or trolling the beaches in the Boynton area has produced a nice barracuda bite lately. These hard fighters, some up to 40 pounds, are hammering 2-ounce Gator spoons and Tube lures in the early mornings.
Anglers at the Boynton Inlet continue to catch and release plenty of snook and tarpon. They are mostly being caught on the outgoing tide and are hitting live bait and Flair Hawk jigs.

The bass bite is still excellent with early mornings being best right now. Working the Kissimmee grass at first light for 30 to 40 minutes using swim jigs, spinner baits and popping frogs has been producing good results. Once the sun really breaks through, however, it’s time to start flippin. Most of the bites have been reactionary. If you’re in an area and nothing is hitting, move to another. Two spots that have been excellent lately have been the J&S Canal and Indian Prairie areas.
