Good Morning,
The Mutton Snapper bite this weekend was fantastic, boats that were fishing out of Stuart and Jupiter reported many of the Muttons being caught were short but they did manage a few nice keepers and some big African Pompano. A bunch of Kingfish were caught this weekend out of Stuart with a few Sails mixed in too.
Snook fishing inshore has been good as well, a bunch of slots and over slots were caught. The clean water this past week has made the artificial bite tough but Pilchards have gotten the job done. Finger mullet are starting to trickle through and there still are some minnows on the beach which should make for a few more weeks of good surf fishing as long as the seas stay calm.
Weather:
Light east to southeast flow will persist over the central Florida Atlantic waters this week as a large high pressure ridge pressure centered well northeast of Florida strengthens. An inverted trough will move toward the southeast U.S. and Florida coast by late week. Shower and thunderstorm coverage will remain relatively high most of the week.
