Beach Fishing With Paul Sperco Palm Beach/Martin County Area

                                                                  
Had Chris and Vince Castoro out today for their first trip targeting some whiting and croaker. It was definitely a successful outing and they went home with lots of tasty fillets. They were surprised like most anglers who have not fished for these two species at how close these schools are to the edge of the surf line. Keep your baits within 15 yards of the edge and you will probably put some nice fish in your cooler. Bloodworm and Pink Shrimp Fishbites continue to be the go to baits. We did see a few schools of glass minnows move through the area and if they pass in front of you pitch your Fishbites right into the middle of the school. Most of the larger ones we caught today came from the glass minnow schools. Yesterday there were huge schools of the glass minnows from Bathtub Beach to Tiger Shores and the snook, sharks, and tarpon were having a feast. Conditions look good for the next few days so get out and bend a rod.

From Whites Tackle - Ft Pierce / Stuart

The beach fishing has been good with a few tarpon and big jack in the bait schools to the south of Ft Pierce with a few small kings mixed in. Inshore the trout and red bite has been steady around first light to the north around harbor branch to Vero shores with a soft baits and top water. The snapper bite around the bridge and channel edges.

TARPON Fishing From PIER With Swimbaits

From Todd & Trey @ Juno Bait -Juno Beach

INSHORE-  Inshore fishing is a bit tough now; with hot temps slowing the fish down for the most part.  Catch and release snook fishing will be the main inshore draw.  Go early and late for best luck inshore right now, or fish at night.  Could also be some tarpon cruising around inshore right now.  Mangrove snapper action has been fair inshore.  

SURF/PIER-  The glass minnow schools remain scattered up and down the beach, and the fish aren't far behind.  Snook, tarpon, jacks, blue runners, and others are all taking advantage of the easy meals.  Small flashy jigs, spoons, swimbaits, and small swimming plugs are all a good way to go around the minnow schools.  

The Juno Beach Pier continues to produce good catch and release snook action, as does Jupiter Inlet.  The snook are also along the beach in very good numbers right now.  Calm clear conditions provide for good chance to sight fish some big ones cruising in the first trough. 

Sebastian Inlet Report

We have been getting some mixed reports with better action offshore/inshore but fishing has been decent on the North Jetty, and other areas in and around the inlet.  Anglers have been seeing some Mangrove Snapper, Red Drum, Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.

Live shrimp seem to be the favorite bait for targeting Mangrove Snapper.  Red Drum will hit on those too off the North Jetty, and don’t forget the catwalks and T-dock, particularly during the tide change.  Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish both hit on cut bait, and use your silver spoons for Bluefish and Gotcha lures for Spanish Mackerel.  And, as always, call Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle for the latest fishing updates at 321-768-6621.
