SURF/PIER- Pompano fishing remained very good this week both along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier. Hard to say just how long this spring run of pomps will last; so definitely get after them if you have the chance. The usual natural baits (shrimp, clams, and the ever elusive Sandflea) are the way to go; while FishBites and FishGum continue to rack up the catches as well. On the Juno Beach Pier a Doc's Goofy Jig will also produce some pompano bites, especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Lowlight periods remain the best bet for the pompano. Good numbers of late season bluefish around this week; with catches coming from both the pier and beach in good numbers. Cut sardines and mullet will be top bait choices for the bluefish: A silver spoon or swimming plug is a solid choice as well for the blues. Croakers have been abundant in the first trough; and are biting fresh shrimp the best. The Juno Beach Pier is also starting to hold some live baits on a little more consistent basis (summer is just around the corner!). With the bait showing up a bit more the snook numbers are improving; along with a stray cobia or kingfish as well. Good time of year to get out on the beach or pier for nice mixed bag action!
