Its been so windy the past couple weeks thats its been nearly impossible to fish the beaches. Finally gave it a try today and founds some Jacks and Blues.
Conditions: E wind , surf was 1-2 water is stirred up
Lures: 1oz Bucktail Jig
Action: Working shore line casting parallel to shore
The NE winds have brought higher seas and the sea weed came with it weeds are back its really thick on the beaches I would suggest heavy buck tail jigs to fish these types of conditions 1-3 oz depending on your rod and reel set up. The heavy metal jigs or spoons will get out there but anything designed to run on the surface is going to snag weeds. I have only noticed bait no predators feeding, going to run to Jupiter tomorrow to see if conditions are the same. Today fishing was cut short only made a few casts I found a baby Greenback turtle stuck in the weeds on the beach and took him to the Loggerhead Rescue Clinic. He was disorientated and had burned most of his energy trying to get out.
Conditions: NE wind 15-20, surf was 6-8 building
No morning bite! Conditions were windy and rainy bait seems to be around the huge mullet schools have moved south but smaller schools are still in the area migrating from North to South. I am seeing both pilchards and mullet in the shore break no pressure on them though. Osprey and Pelicans are working the beaches. Going to see if the Afternoon produces any but my guess is fishing will be null today with the winds and seas picking up to 15-2o kts 8ft.
Conditions: NE wind moderate, surf was 1-3 building
Lures: Yozuri live bait minnow jig 1oz, top dog top water lure, Rapala plug trying for some Snook.
Action: No action had one bump by a small Jack the blue Fish have moved out.
Another quick run to the beach to check things out WEEDS are back NO! Oh well take the good with the bad. The fish have moved out out of about 30 casts I got one fish. My guess is the action is moving south for the time being until we get another influx of bait moving through. Id really like to find a Snook this week might have to go inside the inlet.
Conditions: NE wind light, surf was 1-2 weeds are back making it really hard to present a lure! buck tail Jigs 1oz seem to work the best ducking through the weeds.
Lures: Yozuri live bait minnow jig 1oz, top dog top water lure, 1oz bucktail jig.
Action: Casting for distance today to get out to the Bluefish reeling straight in. Strikes are ever 4-5 casts.
Came down for a few casts before starting the day. Just took a few quick cast and caught a few Blues.
Conditions: NE wind light light rain, surf was 1-2 water is stirred up
Lures: Yozuri live bait minnow jig 1oz, top dog top water lure, Rapala plug trying for some Snook.
Action: Casting for distance today to get out to the larger Bluefish reeling straight in. bite slowed but there are fish holding.
Fishing this morning in the light rain was refreshing a chance to soak it i. The Bluefish have made Juno Beach pier their temporary home there are straggler mullet schools that remain I have seen a fair amount of pilchards and ballyhoo. I caught a Blue fish nearly every cast. Didn’t see and Jacks, Snook, or Mackerel.
Conditions: SW wind light, surf was 1-2 weeds are allot less than they have been great fishing conditions!
Lures: Yozuri live bait minnow jig 1oz, top dog top water lure, Rapala plug trying for some Snook.
Action: Casting for distance today to get out to the Bluefish reeling straight in. every cast produced a strike.
Another beautiful morning even with the light rain. Wind was calm out of the north pelicans were working the beaches. The weeds have gone out with the last tide they are not totally infesting the shorelines like the past few days. First cast “BANG” second cast “POW” third cast “BOOM”. The bluefish are so thick that when you loose one you immediately have another one on amazing! Dolphins came in to feed on the Bluefish pretty neat to watch them hunt.
I have not seen any Spanish Mackerel? Cant wait for them to show up. No Snook caught for about two weeks I bet the colder water temps have them changing up their pattern.

Conditions turned around for the better this morning still allot of weeds congregating at loggerhead North toward the pier you have to go a few hundred yards south of loggerhead to get out of the bulk weeds to a more fishable area. I was instantly into fish today Ladyfish, Jacks, and Bluefish. Some of the bluefish were 4-6lb range not huge but fun tight lines!
Conditions: N wind light, surf was 1-2 with a 3ft shore break incoming tide
Lures: Yozuri live bait minnow jig 1oz, buck tail jig black and white 1/2 OZ, led jig 1 oz

The tide was up this morning swell was a 1-2 feet nice rip for the Snook wind was out of the North. As the Sun was coming up the Osprey’s started to feed schools of Mullet and Pilchards were running from North to South the fishing looked like it was going to be pretty good but nothing really going on and ton’s of weed’s I found using the Bucktail jig helped keep out of the weed patches it was thick today! Ended up catching one Bluefish. I think the fish are transitioning to feeding on smaller baits. A silver spoon 1/2-1 1/2 OZ seems to be working well with others.
Weeds do have their advantages I have found these lures in the past 2 weeks…
Conditions: N wind cranking pretty good, surf was 1-2 with a 3ft shore break incoming tide
Lures: Yozuri live bait minnow jig 1oz, buck tail jig black and white 1/2 OZ
