From The Crew @ Whites Tackle - Ft Pierce / Stuart

 Inshore there has been a few reds around to the north by queens cove with a few trout around first light top water has produced the best. The beach fishing has been good with some nice tarpon and snook in the glass minnows just find the bait you will find the fish. 

From Todd /Trey/ Paul @ Juno Bait -Juno Beach

INSHORE:  Snook fishing remains the main game in town on the inshore side of things.  The bridges have been pretty good as of late, especially at night on the outgoing tide.  Flair hawk jigs and big swim baits remain the top lure choices for the snook.  The spillways are also producing a good number of snook and a few tarpon.  A few mangrove snapper are being caught around the bridges as well.  Best snapper bite seems to be on live shrimp and pilchards; mainly at night as well.

                

SURF/PIER: Catch and release snook fishing remains very good at the Juno Beach Pier, along the beach, and in Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlets.  Live sandperch and croakers will be the best live bait choices; especially for those looking for a big end of summer snook.  Looks like the wind is going to blow just a little; if the forecast is right it could lead to some really good lure fishing for the snook.  A little chop and some color in the water will have the snook ready to bite flair hawk style jigs, swimsuits, and swimming plugs.  Lowlight conditions will be best for fooling the snook on the lures.  The upcoming full moon could really fire them up at night as well.  The Juno Beach Pier has had some bonita cruising around as well as a handful of kingfish.  A Rapala X-Rap is a good lure choice for the kings and bonitas.  Like the snook; best action on the kings will be early morning and late afternoon.  Other surf action remains a bit spotty.  Scattered schools of spanish mackerel around.

Scouting Around Palm Beach/Martin County Area

 INSHORE:

 Along the beaches in Jupiter the snook bite is still good.

The inlet, however, has been the place for anglers looking to catch these amazing fish.

Remember though they are out of season and it’s catch and release only.

Besides wahoo, another fish definitely worth targeting during the full moon are mangrove snapper.

They will be spawning during the full moon and will be plentiful.

Best bets are to locate structure and to use either live shrimp or small sardines, greenies or pilchards.

Minimum size is 10 inches. Bag limit is five per person.

There have been massive bait balls around the Boynton Inlet recently.

Goggle eyes, cigar minnows, pilchards and sardines have been congregating in large numbers.

Anglers trying to catch bait in the inlet by boat during incoming tides are creating a navigational hazard for other boaters attempting enter or exit the inlet.

Inlet anglers have been catching snook, tarpon, jacks, snapper and permit from the north jetty using a variety of dead and live baits.

Anglers fishing the back walls of the inlet at night are catching moonfish on yellow jigs and sand perch on cut shrimp.

Tara Lopez of West Boynton Beach caught three permit up to 15 pounds and five palometta while fishing the surf with live shrimp off Lantana Beach on Monday with her husband Rafael Lopez.

Anglers in the Intracoastal Waterway are catching mangrove snapper around the seawalls along Ocean Ridge using free lined live shrimp.

Night fishing along the lighted docks have been producing snook, tarpon, moonfish and snapper by anglers using live bait such as small herring or shrimp and by fly anglers using epoxy silversides or small translucent shrimp patterns.

Lantana Bridge anglers have been crushing the snook at night. Moonfish and sand perch have also been hitting at night. Daytime anglers are catching small mangrove snapper, barracuda, jack crevalle and an occasional sheepshead.

LAKE OKEECHOBEE

The early morning bass fishing has been excellent on the lake.

Best bet is before sunrise using swim jigs or spinnerbaits that are either white or chartreuse in color.

The bluegill and shellcracker fishing is also good right now along the grass beds.

08-03-17 THURSDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, JACKS, MANGROVE SNAPPER, LOOKDOWNS, BLUE RUNNERS AND C/R SNOOK 

It's another beautiful morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 7 mph, gusting to 10 and there is a light to moderate chop on the water. We have a chance of potential scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon which is typical for summer, plan accordingly. Pack plenty of water, insect repellent and sunscreen if you head to the inlet.

We are not seeing a lot of action from the jetties, fish are hitting sporadically although there is still plenty of bait in the water. Outgoing tides have been murky but those boating anglers who have been drifting the outgoing tides have been landing some nice Redfish. Catch and release Snook are active but we ask you to please handle with the utmost care, we need those Snook to get out and make more Snook. Snook season reopens September 1st, so we don't have long to wait. Spanish Mackerel are still here but they shouldn't be around too much longer, they will begin their northerly migration soon. The Mangrove Snapper bite isn't as hot as usual this summer, no real explanation for it. It could be that the water temperature stayed cool longer, which may be why the Mackerel are still hanging around. Fall fishing is just around the corner!

Our angler of the day is Nelson Osario of Kissimmee. Nelson landed this pretty C/R Snook from the north jetty. He used a red and white snook jig to get this big boy's attention.

Sebastian Inlet Report

We are into the summer doldrums, fishing is very slow unless you are fortunate enough to get offshore. Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reports a few Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Jacks and Blue Runners are hitting sporadically. This morning we had a nice surprise; one of the north jetty anglers landed a good sized Permit!
