Snook in the shallows

Snook in the shallows

Inshore fishing has turned on this last week. Snook bite on live bait has been pretty good with snook from lower 20” range up to the 40” size and in between. Live greenies have been very productive and some fish are being caught on 4″ DOA jerk baits. light colors are best jerk baits to use. Inlet bite has been decent as well with some redfish as well as a few snook with plenty of jacks and some jewfish as well. Live pigfish and mojarra have been working well there.

Schools of 10-15lb jacks roaming the flats in the lagoon

Schools of jacks have been moving up and down the lagoon and with light winds you will see the schools of fish swimming and or daisy chaining on the surface. Fish have been anywhere from 5lbs to 25lbs and are aggressive if you don’t spook them with the boat. Nearhsore bite will be kicking off soon but with the front this week, it will be most likely too rough to get out. If the winds come out of the west we will be out looking for the bait pods and schools of Tarpon, Jacks and Bonito crashing glass minnows.
