Snook should be the day — hold for the next incoming through the jetties.

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.

  • This brief is for 2026-09-25. No wind forecast that far out — score is tide, moon, and season. Not a copper day.

No FKNMS polygon in this box. Mainland Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Mexico, and the Bahamas are not Keys sanctuary closures.

Why — and who

  • Tide is low slack from NOAA.
  • Waxing gibbous moon — spring tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
