INSHORE- Snook fishing has been good with the above average warm weather. Look for the snook to be locked in along seawalls and under boat docks. Springtime push of mullet moving north is going on, so don't be afraid to chunk the big baits right now. Area bridges are producing a good number of snook at night, especially on the outgoing tide. Flair hawk jigs and big swimbaits are a great lure choice right now. In with the snook have been a good number of jacks, including some real bruisers! Live mullet and loud noisy topwater are great choices for the bihg jacks cruising around. Tarpon are around Palm Beach Inlet in good numbers right now. A large live shrimp is a great choice for the tarpon.
SURF/PIER- A little slower on the beach this week, but still some decent fishing. Pompano are around in fair numbers. Sandfleas, clams, and fishbones have been the top baits for the pompano. The Juno Beach Pier has been seeing a few mackerel and some jacks. Croakers are around the pier and seem to be biting live shrimp the best. Fair number of spinner sharks hanging around the Juno Beach Pier/Juno Beach area if that's your thing. Fresh cut bait is a great choice for the spinners, as are large popping plugs.
