Palm Beach


INSHORE
Bluefish and Spanish mackerel are chewing along the beaches of the Treasure Coast early in the morning, and there’s a decent pompano bite south of the St. Lucie Inlet. The bluefish and Spanish mackerel are biting throughout the day, but the pompano bite is best a high tide, usually from mid-morning to around noon.
Trout and redfish are being caught on the west side of the Indian River, and there are black drum everywhere. Snook have been very active around the bridges, especially at night. The Roosevelt Bridge has been the most productive.
There are big numbers of pompano and bluefish running the beaches in Jupiter. The fish are there all day, but the bite does seem to turn on and off at times.
In the Intracoastal Waterway, fishing the flats — such as the Marker 42 area — has been best. Jacks, pompano, and lane and mangrove snapper are all being caught.
The inshore bite has been slow in central and southern Palm Beach County, but fishing bridges and docks is always a good bet. There are resident snook around, and there are also Spanish mackerel, jacks and ladyfish around.

FRESHWATER
The best fishing is still along the outside edges and back in the grass, which has been much easier to do since the wind has lied down. The East Wall has still been a hot spot for anglers fishing the south end of the lake near Clewiston.
Good numbers of bass are being caught, and the bite is good throughout the day. Some good size fish have also been reported, including several over 6 pounds.
Live shiners and artificial lures are both working well, but the shiners still get the edge at this point.
