🎣 Florida Fishing Reports 🐟 Week of 6-8-2020

🎣 White's Tackle Fishing Report 6-8-2020 🐟 Stuart Florida "Offshore yesterday it calmed down a little and a few boats managed to get out a few dolphin where reported in 150 to 200ft with a few big wahoo around up to the north live bait produced most of the fish. The bottom bite has slowed down with the rough weather but should pick back up soon. The weather looks good the next few days so hopefully you can get out. Inshore over the weekend the trout and red bite was steady to the north around Vero shores to round island with a few big snook mixed in. The inlet and bridges have had a few flounder around with live shrimp and live bait. The snook bite has been good in the inlet but please remember its catch and release season is closed."

🎣 Week of June 8 🐟 Anglers Waiting for a Break in the Weather… "Our friend Tommy has seen more Mangrove Snapper around as you’d expect heading into the summer season.  Use live shrimp to target them. He’s still seeing some nice Pompano here and there, hitting on clams and sandfleas, and anglers are bringing in Red Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and Bluefish on the North Jetty.  Cut bait works well for Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish, or you can try silver spoons for Bluefish and Gotcha lures for the Spanish Mackerel.  Blue Runners were running day before yesterday and they will hit on a variety of baits.  Try dead shrimp or smaller jigs."

🎣 Palm Beach Post South Florida Weekly Fishing Report 🐟 June 11, 2020 "Along the beaches in the Jensen area there has been a good pompano bite the past week. Not huge numbers, but nice-sized fish. Bring the big, 12-foot rods if you have them as they are not in the first trough but a ways out. They are most likely avoiding the spinner sharks that are cruising the beaches the past week. The pompano are being caught on crab- and sandflea-flavored Fishbites. The spinner sharks are following the schools of glass minnows which started showing up last week and are now in the area in force. At the Roosevelt and Stuart Causeways there has been some excellent snook action. There have some big ones that are likely feeding before the spawn. Use big swim baits or jigs like a flare hawk as they are hugging the bottom some because of the freshwater up near the surface.
Working the beaches from Jupiter Inlet to the Juno Pier, anglers are catching snook on lures resembling sardines or using live pilchards, croaker or sand perch. In the Loxahatchee River, snook and jack crevalle are being caught around the dock lights. Boynton Inlet anglers have been catching croaker, whiting and sand perch using cut shrimp. Snook, snapper and tarpon have been hitting live shrimp and pilchards fished on the bottom. At the Lantana Bridge, anglers have been catching sheepshead, small permit, sand perch and croaker using cut and live shrimp."

🎣 Daytona News Journal Fishing Report 🐟 Snook catch goes from mild to wild "The snook catch is getting all the attention just as the highly-sought game fish goes out of season. SURF, PIERS: Gene Lytwyn at The Fishin’ Hole said the primary catch from the surf and piers is whiting. “Surf fishing is moving into a summertime pattern, with mostly whiting being caught along with several spots, small bonnet head sharks and an occasional pompano,” he said. “Fishing early or late with pompano rigs and dead shrimp or Fishbites will do the trick.” Farther north Capt. Mike Vickers Jr. (hammockbaitandtackle.com) reports the surf has been giving up pompano mixed with some redfish, black drum and snook. “The Flagler Beach Pier is open with a limited capacity,” Vickers said. “They are catching flounder, black drum and sheepshead.”

🎣 FLORIDA TODAY fishing report 🐟 Dolphin, redfish, snook and tarpon lead the catch forecast  "It's going to be a wet weekend, but for those that go fishing, the bite is going to be pretty good. Look for snook, tarpon, redfish and dolphin action. Florida Today. Remember the drought? Most on the Space Coast would say they can't even remember when we were dry. Low lying neighborhoods this weekend may flood and more rain is on the way from a system of tropical moisture covering the southern Gulf of Mexico. The flooding rains are creating several problems. Here are some helpful tips:
Don't drive into ponds, canals, ditches or lakes.
Don't boat on streets.
Walking catfish have no daily bag limit.
Some of the storms will have lightning so anglers must be watchful of that. Any fishing trips will require rain gear, but like longtime Florida fishing guide Capt. Squeeky Kelly always says, "The fish are already wet." So go fishing. Just be careful doing it."

🎣 FLORIDA TODAY fishing report 🐟 Tarpon will bend rods and snook can be caught, too. "It's been rainy, but big tarpon can be caught along the beaches while smaller ones are in the lagoon. Snook fishing is good, too, but are all release. Florida Today. Heavy rains have produced plenty of runoff. Salinity levels have dropped in many places of the Indian River Lagoon and surrounding waterways. It's meant anglers have had to fish a little differently. Tarpon and snook are being caught because they could care less. Redfish and black drum are also being caught inshore. Along the beaches, there have been glass minnows moving north. To fish, glass minnows are like candy, so everything that swims has been in them."

🎣 June 12 Fishing Report from Byron Stout 🐟 "Runoff from soaking rains over the past week have darkened local waters a bit, but the fishing outlook couldn't be brighter. Winds shouldn't be too bad this weekend for jaunts way offshore for red snapper. This year's 45-day season for recreational boats started Thursday morning. Tarpon and snook remain abundant right along the beaches, where we got a good mangrove snapper report this week. And somebody needs to tell the big bass they don't get caught in June, in South Florida." They haven't heard. LAKE OKEECHOBEE: Ramon Iglesias at Roland Martin's Marina in Clewiston reports "The water has risen over a foot in the last 10 days, and the bass are liking it." Best bets still are outside grass lines early with spooks or toads; then stick worms and speed worms, or swimbaits, all in dark colors, according to Brad Lytle of Roland Martin's Marine Center. For bass, the East and West Wall areas have been good. Last weekend's full moon had bluegills biting well on crickets, worms, and ultralight spinnerbaits along Observation Shoal, the Clewiston walls and Ritta Island, where they should be a little farther off the reed lines this weekend."
