Good Morning, Inshore yesterday the snook and trout bite has been ok with some nice fish at first light on live mullet and top waters such as the jumping minnow and the Bagley Rattlin mullet find the bait schools and you will wind the fish. The bridges have had a few fish around with both jigs and live bait on the outgoing tide with a few tarpon around to. The fishing to the south in Stuart has been steady around the inlet with live bait. Offshore for those who got out in this wind there has been a few dolphin and sails around in 150 to 200ft on both live and dead bait looks like the wind will stay around for a few more days and get nice for the weekend.
