Good morning everyone. The water in the IRL couldn’t look any better, very clear in most areas. There’s quite a few fish around, Snook, Redfish, and Seatrout, though the clear water and increased pressure hasn’t made things easy. Soft plastics and live bait have been the best producers, and the flats have by and large been the best bet, though shorelines and docks are still holding fish. The beaches have been active with Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish, as well as more and more Snook. Spoons and metals are producing most of the Spanish and Bluefish, while soft plastics, bucktail jigs, and plugs are accounting for most of the Snook. Just off the beaches, schools of large Jack Crevalle as well as some Tarpon have been working the schools of mullet and greenies that have been mostly 300 to 400 yards off the beach. The Jack Crevalle will take a variety of things, including topwater plugs, and the Tarpon have been taking Hogy Paddle Tails. Snook fishing in the inlets has been average, with flare jigs and live bait doing most of the business. Offshore, Dolphin fishing has been pretty good out around 300′ of water, and the Kingfish bite in 70′ to 80′ of water has been good as well. For the bottom fishing anglers, the Snapper bite in 60′ of water has been very good as well. Good luck, and stay safe.
