INSHORE- After months of writing less than ideal reports inshore...things are changing! The mullet are starting to show up inshore, and the fish are taking notice big time! Snook, tarpon, jacks, and even the occasional redfish or two are around and actively feeding. Look for the fish to be in and around the mullet schools, which typically are easier to find during lowlight periods of the day or at night. If your using live mullet fish them on the outside edges of the school for best luck. Lots of different lures work well; Rapala X-Raps, Yo-Zuri 3DS minnows, Daiwa SP Minnow, and a bunch of other ones will all get the job done. If you don't find any schools of mullet, try areas with lots of good current flow and ambush points for predators to use. In addition to the mullet coming inshore, snapper fishing will also be very good this week following the storm. Lots of mangrove snapper around inshore right now! Live shrimp is a solid bait choice for the inshore snapper.
SURF/PIER- Water has been a bit dirty on the beach, but the fish are around. Fishing will only improve as the water continues to clear. At the time of writing the Juno Beach Pier is closed, but should re-open within the next few days. The mullet are starting to come down the beach and the predators are close behind. The early season mullet run is the best for snook and tarpon, before the masses of bluefish really crash the party. A wide variety of different swimming plugs will work well along the beach right now (YouTube Video to
