South Florida Fishing Report 2-15-08


This is a brief recap of Henry's web cast from the Snook Nook in Jensen Beach for 2-15-2008. You can watch the web cast live every Friday at 8:30pm, or view archives of past shows at the link below.
Air and water temperatures are cold right now due to passing cold fronts so you must get your baits into the fishes 'comfort zone'. Offshore the dolphin and sailfish are scattered. Get your baits down deep, (30'+), and cover a lot of teratory. Kingfish and wahoo are also deep. In the river, wait for mid-morning when the sun warms the water to go fishing. There are lots of slot sized trout around. Look for them in deeper water and slow down your presentation. Top water plugs are catching trout. Redfish like the cooler water. Look for schools of reds on shalow flats. Gold spoons and soft rubber baits are catching redfish. Pompano are around bridges an in deeper holes. Doc's Goofy Jigs or pompano jigs tiped with shrimp are the best baits. Black drum are around the bridges and on the beach. The beach is also holding plenty of bluefish. Hard plastic baits will will provoke strikes. Whiting, croakers and pompano are in the first trough on the beach. Sand flees and shrimp are the best baits. Snook fishing is best at night. Look for dock lights. DOA Shrimp or small topwater baits skiped on top of the water just out of the light will produce territorial strikes from snook. Also look for snook around bridge pylons and other ambush points that create eddies in the water.
