It was a good week fishing inshore and the wind was down during the week allowing us to get off the beach to fish but the bait was scarce and the fishing was slow. Inshore the bite is getting better if you can find clean water and some areas that are holding bait. We were able to catch some decent snook and trout and plenty of jacks. Once the fronts come through the bite slows in the lagoon as high pressure moves in. Still plenty of bluefish, some mackerel and ladyfish in the lagoon to have a bunch of fun with.

The Inlet bite has been pretty slow for snook and a few reds but the jacks have been very active. Snapper, sheepshead and a few pompano around the rockpiles in the inlet have been eating live shrimp and fiddler crabs. Another good week of weather and the bite should improve some more as long as the winds stay down and the bait is present.
