INSHORE- Snook fishing remains good inshore. A few trickles of finger mullet have shown up, though the biggest push of them isn't here just yet. The early season pods are some of the best to fish, as the snook and tarpon have not completely gorged themselves yet on the easy meals. During the day the snook will stack up around ambush points (seawalls, boat docks, etc) and let the current bring the mullet schools to them. A night the snook will gravitate towards the bridges, again letting the current bring the bait to them. Snook, and to a lesser extent tarpon, are super lazy and would prefer to exert as little energy as possible to chase down a meal...in other words, the current is your friend! Live mullet are a top bait choice during the day. Lowlight periods a topwater (Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil or Topknock pencil) is a killer choice for the snook. At night (especially around current in deeper water) a flair hawk style jig is a great way to go for the snook.
SURF/PIER- Mullet reports drastically have tapered off after our first little push of fish. A few small pods around, but the big numbers are still up the coast a bit. Snook fishing remains good along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier. Still a good amount of smaller baits around and the snook are keyed in pretty good on them, and live shrimp as well. In addition to the snook, a good number of Spanish Mackerel have shown up at the pier to chomp up the small baits. The Macs will no doubt bite best early in the morning and then again late in the afternoon. Anytime you have a good number of Spanish Macs around you can no doubt have a big kingfish around as well. Starting to hear a few more pompano reports on the beach. Conditions look good for the pomps to bite headed into the weekend.
