From Todd @ Juno Bait Crew-Juno Beach

 INSHORE-  Overall inshore action remains fairly slow.  Catch and release snook fishing remains fair to good depending on the day and conditions.  A bulk of the snook are in and around the inlets, but no doubt a decent number will also be scattered in the ICW and Loxahatchee River.  Coming off the full moon, the snook will break out of the inlet and do a little more traveling.  Early morning and late afternoon generally will provide the best bet at the snook: With dock-light fishing also popping off (generally those fish will be a little smaller, but the numbers can be pretty darn good).  No great mangrove snapper reports inshore; but a few scattered ones will no doubt be around.  Generally the mangroves will bite a little better at night.  Sandperch action in the ICW has been pretty good, with small pieces of shrimp being the bait of choice. 



SURF/PIER-  A little wind late in the week has the beach stirred up a bit.  While the chop and slightly off colored water can make sight fishing snook (One of the most common things to go on this time of year) along the beach tough, overall it generally doesn't slow the fishing down much.  The snook have continued to bite pretty good.  When the wind blows a bit and the water gets stirred up; it's time to go to a touch bigger lure or something that makes a bit of noise.  It doesn't look like the wind really lasts long, and it should be back to normal conditions before long.  The Juno Beach Pier snook bite is still good.  Live baits will generally get the most bites when the sun is up higher, but don't overlook a swimbait early and late in the day.  The croakers and sandperch have been biting good at the pier late in the afternoon, with small pieces of fresh shrimp and FishBites being the baits of choice.  A handful of kingfish showing off the end of the pier late in the afternoon, along with a few bonita throughout the day.
