What's Active Today

🐟 Spanish Mackerel
Primary target at all three beaches. Position near pier structures, deeper troughs, and along outer sandbars. Action peaks during morning hours and around tidal transitions.
🐠 Hardtail
Moving alongside mackerel around pier pilings and sandy bottom zones. Present throughout the day with strong activity during slack water transitions and near bottom structure.
🐡 Ladyfish
Cruising shallow beach areas and near pier structures. Most responsive during tidal movements and morning periods when baitfish schools congregate in nearshore zones.
🐟 Bonita
Found mixing with other species in deeper offshore waters. Boat access or extended pier reach enhances targeting opportunities for this species.
🦈 King Mackerel
Present but likely positioned farther offshore in deeper zones. Early morning periods and slack water conditions provide the best opportunities for pursuing this species.
🦈 Shark
Found cruising beaches and deeper water near pier structures, particularly in areas holding baitfish. Accessible from piers and from the beach with extended casting.
