snook

The inshore bite has been good as long as you get started before the sun comes up. Water is in the mid 80s early morning and hotter as the sun comes up. There are some snook, redfish and big jacks around the bait schools. Keep an eye out for the big schools of jacks cruising through the bait pods.

Beach fishing is spotty. There have been some schools of jacks daisy chaining and you will get one good shot to get one to eat. If you can’t make it happen on the first or second cast most times the schools will spook and not eat after that. We found a few tarpon and some sharks along the beach but they aren’t here in numbers yet. It seems everything is a little behind this season as it was during the spring. Water temps have been fluctuating with the changing winds and there hasn’t been consistency with the bait and the gamefish. East winds this coming week and some rain should help the bait situation and stabilize the water temps to keep the predators feeding.
