Florida · Jupiter / Loxahatchee

Mahi-mahi should be the day — the inlet jetties and the river mouth on the dump.

Inlet snook country. Jupiter Inlet, the Loxahatchee, Lake Worth Lagoon. Tarpon in the inlet and along the beach. Not a Keys bonefish brief — this is current, bridges, and mangrove points. Clock is Lake Worth Pier 8722670, a few miles south.

  • ⚠ Snook are typically closed to harvest on the SE/Atlantic coast in this window. Verify FWC.

Why — and who

  • — Tide is outgoing (modeled — the NOAA gauge did not answer).
  • — Partly Cloudy. Sky is workable.
  • — Wind 6 mph S. Troll and jig are on.
  • — Waxing gibbous moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
