The snook bite is still going strong along the beaches, and with more and more mullet showing up in both the rivers and along the beach, the bite should only continue to get better! We’re definitely starting to see more signs of the mullet run picking up, so now is a great time to get out there and fish.

Live finger mullet and croakers continue to be some of the best choices for snook. If you’re throwing artificials, 5-inch paddle tails and Bomber lures have still been producing plenty of bites. Greenback JYG, Get Thumped, and NLBN paddle tails are all great options if you’re planning on walking the beach and casting.

Beach conditions have been pretty good overall, although we have had some weeds washing up from time to time. It hasn’t been constant, so if you hit a weedy patch, moving spots a hundred feet or so might clear you up. We do have some weather coming in on Wednesday and Thursday so that will make a mess. The weekend looks good though.

Outside of the snook, we’re still seeing whiting and black drum cruising the troughs. Frozen shrimp and clam strips have been getting the job done. Rig them up on a standard pompano rig with white or orange floats and focus on that first trough. Fish Gum and Fishbites are working well adding a little extra scent and color.

September is one of our favorite times of the year to fish here. The snook are chewing, the mullet are showing up in bigger numbers, tourists are not running the beaches haha, and the mullet run is starting to come alive!

As always, tight lines!
