From Todd @ Juno Bait Crew-Juno Beach

 INSHORE-  The inshore summer mangrove snapper fishing has finally seemed to get going over the past week or so.  The mangrove snapper generally bite best at night around bridges and deeper boat docks with some current.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp will be the best bet for the mangrove snapper.  It's always a fine line in bait choice with mangrove snapper.  Fishing smaller baits for the snapper gets a lot more bites, but leaves you picking through a lot of 8 and 9" fish before finding a few keepers.  A bigger pilchard or good size chunk of sardine will catch the bigger snapper, but the bites come a lot slower.  Snook fishing remains pretty good inshore, with fish both around the inlets and pushing into the ICW and Loxahatchee in decent numbers.  A few early season mullet (mostly bigger mullet, not much in finger mullet) have pushed inshore, and the snook and occasional tarpon have taken notice of the early arrivers.  The snook fishing remains better at night, with bridges and docklights being the best bet still.  The dock light fish are still (and generally always will) eating smaller lure better, with the bridge fish being pretty tuned in on flair hawks these days.   

SURF/PIER-  For the most part fishing has been rather tough this week along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier.  Catch and release snook fishing has been the most consistent thing going on this week; but slightly off colored water and a fair amount of seaweed has made even that tough.  Live bait has been around the Juno Beach Pier in decent numbers this week, but it does seem to be thinning out a bit:  This is a very common late summer deal that  generally indicates a slow turn to fall patterns, and likely the start of the mullet run before too much longer.  A few early season pods of mullet have already come down the beach, but we are still a week or two away from seeing real start of the mullet run.  If Tropical Storm (and later on Major Hurricane) Erin's probable track holds true it should help get a big push of mullet headed our way late next week.  (Right at about time of publishing...it does sound like water conditions have started to improve)
