Palm Beach Report


INSHORE
     The beach fishing along the Treasure Coast has been excellent this week. Big numbers of pompano are being caught throughout the day and nice, and many of the fish are a good size, too. 
There have also been whiting and big croaker around, as well as a few bonefish.
     Redfish and trout are biting on the west side of the Indian River. Black drum and sheepshead are also being caught in the river, pretty much anywhere you find structure.
     Big numbers of pompano have shown up in the surf along Jupiter, and they are there all day.
     There has been a mixed bag of fish being caught in the Intracoastal Waterway from Marker 42 down through Jupiter. Jacks, mutton snapper, bluefish, croaker, ladyfish and Spanish mackerel have all been reported.
     The inshore action has been a bit slower in central and southern Palm Beach County, but there have been some jacks, bluefish and Spanish mackerel caught in the Intracoastal, inlets, and on the beaches. You can always try your luck at bridges and docks in the Intracoastal as well, especially at night.

FRESHWATER
     it has been a great week for bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee. Excellent numbers of fish have been caught, and many of them have been over 4 pounds. A few bass over 8 pounds were reported.
     The bite is lasting throughout the day, and the best action is still along the outside edges and back in the grass. The East and West Walls have been some of the hottest spots, along with the south end of the lake.
     Live shiners and artificial lures seem to be working equally well.
