How To Throw A Cast Net Step by Step - Captain Mike / ReelReports

From Todd &Trey @ Juno Bait -Juno Beach

INSHORE-  Tough fishing for the most part inshore right now.  Snook fishing will be the best bet right now on the inshore side of things.  Remember snook season closes June 1st, so just catch and release fishing coming up here for a few months.  Look for the snook to be most active at night around bridges and docklights.  Mangrove snapper action has began to improve on the inshore side of things.  Small live pilchards and live shrimp will be the best bet for the mangrove snapper.
                                   


SURF/PIER-  The summer doldrums have not fully set in along the beach just yet.  A fair number of very late season pompano are still hanging around.  The Juno Beach Pier has been producing a fair number of smaller pompano, along with a few keepers, most mornings.  Doc's Goofy Jig remains the best lure choice for the pompano.  Along the beach the best surf action for pompano has been up towards Hobe Sound Beach.   Sandfleas and clams will be the bait of choice for the pomps up that way.  Snook fishing, while not on fire, has been heating up along the beach.  Early morning and again late in the afternoon will be best for the snook.  If your trying to sight fish for the snook, aim for a high tide in the afternoon for best results. The snook are also filling into Jupiter and Palm Beach Inlets in fair numbers ahead of the upcoming spawning season.  Live croakers,  when you can find them, will be best bait in the inlet for the snook.  Still a good number of sharks hanging around u to the north of Hobe Sound as well along the beach.  

Beach Fishing With Paul Sperco Palm Beach/Martin County Area

The weekend is upon us and do not think the wind and wave forecast for our local beaches is a mistake. It appears we are going to get a wind shift to the southwest and we should see improving conditions. I took a ride this afternoon after work and looked at Tiger Shores, Normandy, and Blue Heron and the weed situation that has kept the surf fishing almost impossible is definitely improving. The southwest flow should push the remaining weed patches offshore and make for some great surfcasting opportunities. Whiting, croaker, jacks, ladyfish, snook -which will become a catch and release species on Saturday, and tarpon should be roaming the St. Lucie and Martin County beaches. There will probably be a few pompano taken also but a lot of those will be undersized and have to be released. This is the time of year to have an extra rod rigged and ready to go with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook to liveline a live croaker for the snook and tarpon. Remember the snook will have to be released on June 1 so get them to the beach and back into the water as quickly as possible. As the water continues to warm and bait schools move down the beaches ,a ladyfish head fished on the bottom on a CP Rig or a sliding sinker rig will bring some unbelievable strikes from the tarpon that are moving into our local waters. Orange Clam, Bloodworm, Pink Shrimp Fishbites , along with cut shrimp will be the baits to use to catch a bunch of whiting and croakers for those looking for some great fish dinners. The whiting and croaker will be moving into the near shore trough so don't overcast these fish . 10 to 20 yards will be the area to fish so check your tide charts as the hours around high tide will produce the best action. Break out the 7 foot rods, sunscreen, a cooler with ice, Fishbites , and lots of water to keep you hydrated and get out and have some fun.

The Indian River Lagoon continues to fish well, with Snook and Redfish being taken on shorelines and flats where the water is clean, both on spin and fly. The ever reliable soft plastics, such as Gulp Shrimp, and flies such as sliders and Polar Fibre baitfish are doing the bulk of the catching. There are still fair numbers of Seatrout, but not as many big fish as in the Spring. In the surf, the major weed problems of the weekend are dissipating, and the calmer conditions ahead should lead to some pretty good fishing, as Snook have continued to head to the beaches with the warm temps we’ve had.

From Whites Tackle - Ft Pierce / Stuart

There have been more than enough big Jacks cruising the Beach, big poppers, divers, live Mullet and Pilchards will get you the bite. The Snook have started moving out to the Inlet and Beach, live Pilchards are your best bet but fly and small artificial lures will also produce. There have been a few Tarpon in the St Lucie but they seem to have moved around, You can find them scattered throughout the South Fork.
