Indian River Wade Fishing In Pristine Conditions (Snook Fishing)

When Is The Tide Best For FIshing?

Beach Fishing With Paul Sperco Palm Beach/Martin County Area

Pompano, whiting, croaker, bluefish, and jacks were all on the catch list this weekend, as well as today, but the great springtime surf fishing is going to be on hold for the next few days. Winds are forecast to pick up through midweek and the big swells that we experienced prior to this last spell of great weather are coming back. Hopefully as we approach the holiday weekend the swell will subside and the bite will continue. Middle Cove, Bob Graham, Tiger Shores, and Bridge Road beach in Hobe Sound are all locations that have been producing fish. It was a family fishing weekend with my wife Deb, step-daughter April Tweed who was escaping the cold in Pennsylvania, my son Randy, his father-in-law Barry Rashkin and Randy's friend Craig Kaufman visiting from NJ. Everyone contributed to our nice catch of pompano, whiting, croaker, bluefish, and jacks. 
                                       
I took a quick trip to Hobe Sound Monday morning based on some intel about the pompano bite. The information was accurate as I was able to put a limit catch of nice sized pompano together before the wind picked up around noon time. EZ Flea Fishbites and clam strips were the hot baits over the last few days, along with some fresh cut shrimp that produced most of the whiting. Once the wind and the swells back off things should pick right back up as we approach the weekend.

THE BITE IS SPORADIC

We are still dealing with high winds at the inlet.  This morning winds are blowing out of the Southeast at 19 mph, gusting to 23 and there is a moderate chop on the water.  NOAA has a small craft advisory in effect through 4:00 p.m. Thursday.  Poor conditions are forecasted through the rest of the week but we could see some positive changes for the weekend.  Stay tuned.

The bite has been hit or miss at the inlet but spring conditions are on the way and we should see some return of normalcy.  Spring is one of the best times of the year to fish the inlet.  April and May should bring us Southern Flounder, more Snook, Whiting, Croakers, Mackerel, Margate, Perch, Pompano and the shrimp should continue to run.  We’ve heard that some of readers have been having good luck shrimping at undisclosed spots!  Bring it on, we are ready!

Our photo today comes from the north jetties  inlet regular Tony Swiderski of Sebastian landed this oversized Snook free lining live shrimp.  He estimated it was around 34”.  He didn’t take the time to measure it, this nice breeder was returned to the water quickly and unharmed.
