Beach Fishing With Paul Sperco Palm Beach/Martin County Area

It's nice to report that pompano, whiting, bluefish, and mackerel are being caught at a lot of locations. The last few days have produced keeper pompano from Round Island in Fort Pierce to the North, to Tiger Shores at the south end of Hutchinson Island. Big whiting are also being caught by fisherman targeting the pompano. My son Randy fished at Tiger Shores this morning and caught some nice pompano along with 14 big whiting. Orange Clam and EZ Flea Fishbites produced the bites. I fished one day earlier in the week and was catching pompano on one hook and foul-hooking Spanish mackerel when I was reeling in. My pompano were undersized and these bigger fish finally showed on Tuesday. Casting spoons early in the morning should bend some rods with the bluefish, mackerel, and jacks as these schools have been up and down the entire area. Things are heating up along the beaches so it's time to start putting some nice pompano in the cooler. Good luck this holiday weekend and catch em up.

INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains good inshore, especially at night.  Bridges and dockligts are both holding a good number of snook at night.  Look for the snook to be switching over to more of a shrimp based diet.  The usual inshore wintertime species (Black drum, sheepshead, and maybe a few redfish) are starting to fill in under boat docks and bridges in the ICW and Loxahatchee River.  A few spotted seatrout starting to show up on the Hobe Sound Flats and around Munyan Island.  
SURF/PIER-  Bluefish action remains very good up and down the beach.  Poppers, diamond jigs, and fresh cut bait are all solid bait choices for the bluefish.  While you can catch the blues throughout the day, best action will be lowlight periods of the day.  Spanish Mackerel(Including some very big ones) are also around and biting.  Pompano action has been fair, with some good numbers and good size fish coming for those finding the right lucky spot.  Sandfleas and clams will be the bait of choice for the pompano.  Blacktip sharks are around in good numbers as well.  Lots of good action on the beach right now!

With the cooler temps, fishing in the Indian River has really been good for redfish, snook, and trout. Redfish are still around shorelines with clear water, and have fallen for plenty of artificials, especially DOA Shrimp and CAL shad tail jigs. Snook have been tight to the mangroves, but plenty of them are being caught on plugs such as Mirrodines and Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Twitchbaits.

Trout catches have been increasing, with fish being caught on a variety of jigs and plugs in 3 to 4 feet of water. On the beach, plenty of Spanish are being caught in The Cove area on spoons and jigs, with bluefish falling for the same and the occasional topwater plug. The water in the inlets has been really clear. making live mullet or croakers the best bet for snook, but there are still some falling for flare jigs and plugs.

 REDS, SNOOK, SPANISH MACKEREL AND MORE FLOUNDER ON THE WAY

Head out to the inlet for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend!  Fishing has been great with a bunch of Redfish and some Snook mixed in.  Live pinfish work well for the Reds and try live shrimp in the incoming tide for Snook out on the North Jetty.  Spanish Mackerel has been biting off the South Jetty.  Thanks to the front, the Tarpon bite slowed on the beach, but with the winds changing and weather warming, look for Tarpon from the beach and for the Snook bite to pick up.  The inshore bit is still pretty good too with Trout, Jacks, Ladyfish and some Flounder.  Go see Tommy and Sarah at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle, they’ll fill you in!

A very special thank you to our featured angler this week, Nan Hall landed this 15-inch Flounder off the South Jetty, and caught a large mackerel too.  “So happy the red tide is gone.  Fishing was GREAT that day!”

Beach Fishing With Paul Sperco Palm Beach/Martin County Area

   
Well, I promised a pompano report and here it is. I just returned from Middle Cove Beach after fishing this afternoon with my wife Deb and son Randy. I am happy to report that the pompano were there and definitely chewing. The bad part is that after catching 40 plus pompano we are still looking for the first keeper. We definitely had some great practice on these 8 to 10 inch fish and Deb actually caught her first triple header on a 3 hook rig I am experimenting with that was baited with 3 pieces of EZ Flea Fishbites. I am sure as the calendar moves along this month the bigger pompano that are being caught north of us will move into the area. Randy fished at Stuart Beach early this morning and had a ball casting a krocodile spoon to schools of bluefish and jacks that were spread up and down that entire area of beach.
