From Henery @ Snook-Nook Jensen Beach

To the surfs edge still plenty of fish, from Blues to  Snook and even a Flounder or two has made a lot of anglers happy.  Blue fish have been there early all though I guess they have been there all day we have had anglers report catch's through most of the day.  Cut baits have been the best baits, natural oils and scents top the list, a few on spoons but numbers on cut baits, short cast or long, 3 to 5 pounds perfect for table fare.  Plenty of Whiting, just a pitch to the first trough and I might add good size Whiting, a few Pompano but I would rather have the Whiting, long cast for the Pumps.  Snook are in the trough chasing Whiting, problem is the Whiting are of such good size I would hate to use them for bait.  Bomber lures, Krystal minnow, DOA Bait buster cast north or south, you want your bait in the trough and you will find them but a small Whiting is sure hard to beat.  Flounder were an incidental catch on a moving bait.
River anglers it was Trout on the east side and Reds on the west
with a mix of Flounder a good week. The grass edges offered a lot of Trout, shrimp, Mirolures, soft rubber baits were all productive Flounder were eating the shrimp and every one was happy.  Red were on the west side they seem to like the mud bottom and the docks offering ambush points for them.  Lots of short Snook in the flats favoring live baits, but the Blues and Jacks like everything so the rods were bent no mater witch side of the river you were fishing.  Plenty of Drum at the bridges, mix in the Blues, Macs and Snapper and you were busy catching not just fishing. Yes,after sun down it is Snook time from any and all bridges, wait till the tide starts moving and work that Flair Hawk slowly across the bottom, when your bait stops set the hook.
