Excellent — calm conditions, all-day bite. Light northeast to southwest winds (2-11 mph) and nearly flat seas (0.5-0.8 ft) are creating ideal conditions across all three beaches. Solunar is favorable with high fish activity forecast throughout the day. The morning high tide push at all locations offers consistent action, with productive fishing continuing through the afternoon. Water temperatures hold at 74-75°F across the region.
Second straight day of strong setup — flat water, light wind, high solunar, zero rain. If yesterday treated you well, today should fish about the same.
What's Biting Today
Spanish Mackerel
Found near pier ends and along the outer sandbars at all three beaches. Best results come during the high tide windows. Fast-retrieved silver spoons and Got-Cha plugs are the standard play.
Hardtail
Hanging around piers and sandbars alongside the Spanish mackerel. Active through the entire day — good both as a target on light tackle and as live bait for bigger species.
Bonita
Mostly beyond typical casting range at times. Boat anglers or long casts from the pier end have the best shot. Expect hard runs when you connect.
6:00 – 9:00 AM at the morning high tide, with consistent action continuing through the afternoon (2:00 – 6:00 PM). With high solunar and flat water, the bite should hold up well between those windows too — this is an all-day kind of day.
