From Todd @ Juno Bait Crew-Juno Beach

 INSHORE-  Catch and release snook fishing remains goods inshore.  The snook are in and around the inlets in solid numbers.  Look for the snook to start to slowly break out of the inlets after this full moon and the arrival of the mullet in the not so distant future.  This weekend could see a nice push of snapper show up in the inlets as well.  We haven't had a good hurricane swell yet this summer...time for some of those mutton and mangrove snapper to get pushed in!  Other inshore action remains spotty.  Could see the resident tarpon rolling around in the Loxahatchee River a little more fired up as a few early season finger mullet start to show up.  

SURF/PIER- Catch and release snook fishing remains good at the Juno Beach Pier and along the beach, with a little more summertime bait (pilchards and threadfins) finally filling in a bit more.   A change in the weather the next few days will shake things up a bit though!  As Hurricane Ernesto scoots up the coast it looks like a decent swell is going to build in over the next few days.  What exactly will happen is hard to say: But it could push the summer bait out and bring in some early mullet.  The other hope is that the swell helps push the snapper into the pier and inlets.  Last week saw a few early season pompano around; east winds and a swell this weekend could have another little push of pomps around.  

Sebastian Inlet Report with The Snookman

 "Good morning, my Sebastian Inlet fishing friends. I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Here is your fishing report for this week: It is going to be another slow one, as it was pretty slow at the inlet all weekend.  Fish were caught there, but not many. They were scattered all over the inlet, but no place was a hotspot.  Again the slowness is due to the SSW winds impacting  water quality, not to mention rain runoff from the Sebastian River and other mainland tributaries. I'm not going to break it all down, like I said, there weren't any hot spots. 

The north side produced small mangrove snapper along the rock shoreline on the incoming tide on live and dead greenies, and live shrimp. Most were too small to keep, but I did see some that made the limit to be kept.  Also, in that area there were catch-and-release snook caught on live mojarra, but only a few. At the tip of the jetty on the outgoing tide, there were catch-and-release snook on mojarra and croakers, but again, only a few. The incoming tide had small mangroves being caught, but most here were also too small. The south side jetty, outgoing tide was mostly all about the catfish and puffers. And a ton of seaweed, it was pretty bad over here with that. On the incoming tide, if you found cleaner water along the shoreline, there were small catch-and-release snook on live mojarra. Not much else on this side all the way back to the T-dock, except catfish and puffers. 

That's all I have this week, folks.  As always, I tell it like it is. We need clearer, warmer water for more action. Temperatures dropped from 83 early last week to 71 by Friday, but now it is back up to 78. Whenever it does that, it will affect the bite in a negative way. Everyone have a great week. - Snookman.
