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

INSHORE:  Sheepshead and black drum are being caught sporadically around local bridges.  Snook fishing (all catch and release) remains good around the bridges at night.  A flair hawk jig or small swimsuit is a great choice for the snook.  Other inshore action remains a bit spotty.  

SURF/PIER:  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair number of Spanish and King Mackerel first thing in the morning.  Swimming plugs (Rapala X-Raps, Shimano Colt Sniper, and Yo-Zuri Longcast) are a great choice for both the big spanish macs and the kingfish.  The bluefish remain scattered up and down the beach in good numbers.  Lots of Spanish Mackerel holding in Peck's Lake right now.  Scattered pompano are being caught up and down the beach as well.  No big numbers on the pomps, but those putting the time in are finding a few. 

Fishing Under The Road!!!

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

INSHORE:  The sheepshead and black drum have pushed inside in pretty good numbers around area bridges and seawalls.  Live shrimp, or fresh cut pieces of shrimp, will be the best overall producing bait for the sheepshead and drum.  Catch and release snook fishing remains good around area bridges at night. Been a fair number of jacks cruising along the ICW seawalls at first light and late in the afternoon. The Hobe Sound flats are starting to come to life as well with a variety of species showing up. 

SURF/PIER:  Lots and lots of bluefish around this week.  Lowlight periods have been best for bluefish, with loud noisy topwaters being a great bait choice.  Cut mullet is also working well for the blues.  Spanish Mackerel action has been red hot in Peck’s Lake.  The macks have also been scattered up and down the beach, but not in the same numbers as Peck’s.  Pompano reports remain scattered at best.  Lots of little sharks around at night that are very willing to bite cutbait.

From The Crew @ Whites Tackle - Ft Pierce / Stuart

Inshore the trout bite has been good with a few nice fish to the north with a few reds mixed in soft baits and live shrimp have produced the best. The snook bite has been good in the inlet on jigs and live bait but remember its catch and release season in closed.

SPANISH MACKEREL, BLACK DRUM, POMPANO, SHEEPSHEAD, TROUT, FLOUNDER AND JACKS

Winds have picked up and are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 12 mph, gusting to 14 and there is a light to moderate chop on the water.  Boating conditions are forecasted to remain favorable through the weekend.  A cold front is predicted to move through Christmas Day that will result in deteriorating conditions through early next week.

The water temperature has warmed up from the cold water upwelling and Spanish Mackerel were quite active yesterday.  If targeting Spanish Mackerel you may consider using a wire leader to prevent cutoffs from their razor sharp teeth.  Many anglers use silver spoons to attract the fast moving predators but Gotcha lures are a local favorite as well.  Mackerel move through the water very quickly so the shinier lures work well.  Sheepshead and Black Drum roundout the catches from the north jetty.  Anglers fishing from the beach have been having luck with decent sized Pompano and Whiting.  Flounder and Trout catches have been good in the Indian River Lagoon.  

Our featured photo today is courtesy of Amanda DiNatale of Mebourne who was fishing with her daughters Emma on the north beach who landed multiple Redfish using shrimp.  

Today we also feature Ryan Wood of Malabar.  Ryan was camping on one of the spoil islands near the inlet when he landed and released the Bull Shark in our second photo.  

Our third, fourth and fifth photos are courtesy of Jonathan Reese.  Jonathan and his son Brenden fish the inlet quite a bit and they always have a great time.  Photo three is of Brenden with a slot Snook he landed using a bucktail.  Jonathan wasn’t as lucky in photo four, a good sized Shark made dinner out of his Snook!  Jonathan made up for it in photo five with the big oversized Red he landed and released.
