INSHORE- Snook fishing continues to heat up with the weather. Those anglers with a boat will find fast action around dock lights at night with live shrimp and small jigs. No boat? No worrier, look for the snook bite to be good around the bridges at night. Live shrimp, flair hawk jigs, and smaller swim baits are all good choices for the snook right now. If night time fishing isn't your thing; look for some snook to be laid up in the Loxahatchee River around boat docks and seawalls. Jacks, both large and small, are cruising the Loxahatchee River and Lake Worth right now in good numbers. Lots of fun to catch the big ones on topwater plugs early in the morning as they cruise seawalls looking for mullet to pick off. Flats fishing inHobe Sound has been producing some jacks, ladyfish, and occasional pompano.
SURF/PIER- Pompano action has been good again this week, with most of the fish holding north of Jupiter Inlet. Sandfleas, clams, and Fishbites (Sandflea flavored) remain the top producing baits for the pompano. Early morning and late afternoon (low light periods of the day) will be prime time to look for the pompano. Spanish Mackerel are scattered along the beach and still holding at Peck's Lake in good numbers. Bluefish action is slow, but a few are being caught in Hobe Sound. Cut mullet or sardines has been the top producing bait for the bluefish. Shark action has slowed along the beach,
