Jensen Beach Fishing Report


Beautiful days, rain in the late afternoon then beautiful evenings. For the early morning anglers that watched a beautiful sun rise, casting top water plugs it was big Trout, a few Red Fish and those pesky Snook. Areas north of North Bridge up to Harbor Branch live baits were the choice but from Bear Point south top water topped the list. Spooks, Skitter Walks, MirrOlures slow retrieve, fish up to nine pounds and then those pesky Snook. Snook season does not open till September first and they know it. Anglers moving out to the deeper water found the Triple Tail, Jacks and more Snook. Bridges were the location for Black Drum, Pompano and Blue Fish. Not sure about the Pompano and Blue Fish, don't they know it is not winter?? Yes, the Tarpon are every where.
From the surf, Tarpon, Snook, big Jacks for the early angler, chrome spoons and chrome top water are the favored baits. Looking to take some thing home, plenty of big Whiting and Croakers. These fish are at your toes, just a pitch will put you in the zone, if you cast you will be on the other side, pitch not cast. Lots of Sand Fleas on the beach, bring your rake, great bait for the Pompano season.
Off shore, from the Ft. Pierce Inlet it was ninety feet of water and a little north, that is where the action started. Good King bite, a few Dolphin and the bottom was excellent till that current picked up. Out of the St. Lucie Inlet, thirty to forty feet for the Kings and Cobia, sixty feet out for the Sails and a few Dolphin in the mix. Good bite of Tuna form both inlets and Bonita fest 2008 continues, you might want to bring along some extra bait.
Till next week bring plenty of water, sun block and where is the camera??????? HENRY
