Palm Beach Report
INSHORE
Bluefish are biting along the beaches of the Treasure Coast early in the morning. There are Spanish mackerel around as well. Whiting, croaker and a lot of ladyfish are biting throughout the day. A few anglers have also reported small pompano.
In the Indian River, there are small trout on the east side, although the catches seem to get larger the further north you go. There are redfish around the docks. Throwing live shrimp on a jighead is working best.
Anglers fishing from the beach in Jupiter are catching pompano, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, jacks and ladyfish. The bite seems to last throughout the day.
In the Intracoastal Waterway, jacks and ladyfish are biting in the flats and around Marker 42.
Ladyfish and Spanish mackerel are being caught in the surf along Palm Beach.
The beach fishing has been a little slower in the southern end of the county, but there are some jacks and Spanish mackerel being reported.
In the Intracoastal, you can always try your luck snook fishing around bridges and docks at night.
FRESHWATER
It has been another great week for bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee. It has been a little chilly and the wind has mate it challenging at times to fish the outside edges and back in the grass, but that hasn’t reduced the number of fish being caught. Several large bass were caught over the past week as well.
The East Wall remains a hot spot for anglers fishing the southern end of the lake, and live shiners are still working better than artificial lures.
You can catch numbers all day.

Sebastian Inlet Report
It's a real pretty morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the West-Northwest at 8 mph, gusting to 13 and the water has a moderate chop. Winds are expected to pick up this afternoon and there is a chance of rain. NOAA has issued a small craft advisory through Wednesday afternoon.
We received an update from inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who fished the north jetty yesterday morning from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 and went home empty handed. You know it's slow when the regulars go home with nothing for the table! Mike reported that 2 teeny Spanish Mackerel, 2 small Blues and one oversized C/R Red were landed during his time on the jetty.
Jose Dore of Palm Bay is featured in our photo of the day. Jose landed this 31" oversized Red yesterday morning which was released unharmed right after the photo.

Sebastian Inlet Report
02-09-15 MONDAY: SPOTTY BITE OF SHEEPSHEAD, TROUT, SNOOK, REDS AND SMALL BLUES
THE A-1-A BRIDGE IS OPEN. THE SOUTH CATWALK IS UNDER RENOVATION AND WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
We have a beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North at 3 mph and there is a light chop on the water. Conditions could change this afternoon as there is a good chance of rain, go prepared if you head to the inlet.
Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported that the weekend was typical for this time of year. The bite was slow and spotty with smaller Blues, large Sheepshead, a few Snook, Reds and Trout making appearances.
Our angler of the day is George Hannoush of South Charleston, WV who winters in Port St. Lucie. George landed this real nice Spotted Trout while drifting live shrimp on the outgoing tide on Friday. George landed this nice fish and another Trout that was smaller, about 16" fishing the seawall on the north side of the inlet. George released both Trout unharmed and they swam away to make more Trout!

As the cold fronts move through our area look for the pompano bite to heat up around the bridges and the areas surrounding the St. Lucie Inlet. Frozen clams and Pompano jigs are highly effective for targeting the schools as they move through.
The flats around the St.Lucie power plant has been a great place to find trout and redfish hanging around the shallow grass flats. Live shrimp and DOA CAL jigs have been the hot ticket when targeting these species. And last but not least it's SNOOK SEASON. The fishing around the Roosevelt bridge has been best during the outgoing tide using Hogy lures as well as SpoolTek' s worked along the bottom. Dock light's are another great way to find large numbers of snook on both fly and light spin gear.
