Florida · Jupiter / Loxahatchee

Florida pompano are the hunt — 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.

Where

This pip is that mark on this tide — not the day on the ring.

  • Juno Beach Pier

    structure piling · public structure · deep

    5.5

    Public pier. Snook and a beach tarpon if they swing close. County park. Not a skiff mark.

    • — structure piling on a low slack tide is a secondary match.

  • Jupiter Inlet

    The inlet. Snook on the jetties and the first turn. Tarpon in the throat. Current, boats, and a short window.

    River-to-inlet. Outgoing along the points. This is Jupiter’s snook water, not a Keys bank.

When

When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. Today’s ring mixes the best mark, the lead fish, and the best window, then taxes the sky. A strong incoming can sit under a weak day if the wind or the fish is off. Calendar cells are a third recipe: range, moon, and the day’s forecast.

Legal water

No-take and closed water cited to the agency that owns it. Only the Keys box is FKNMS.

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 (modeled — NOAA 8722670 Lake Worth Pier did not answer).
  • — Clear. Sky is workable.
  • — Wind 13 mph SE. Work the leeward shore. Fly gets harder.
  • — Waxing crescent moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
