Will the cold front bring flounder?

Indian River County

Capt. Glyn Austin of Sebastian Inshore Fishing said the past few weeks have produced steady and quality inshore fishing. The trout bite has been good along with anglers catching a few small snook and redfish. Most of the best fishing for these has been along the shorelines around the spoil islands and the drop-offs between the flats and the channels. Pompano are also being caught in the Indian River Lagoon as are Spanish mackerel and bluefish, Austin said. Fishing with jigs for these species also produces a few bonefish catches, he said.

St. Lucie County

Captains Cole and Zach Hazellief of the Lady Chris party boat out of Taylor Creek Marina in Fort Pierce reported great bottom fishing for snapper through the weekend. Anglers enjoyed excellent lane snapper fishing, plus caught plenty of mangrove and mutton snapper, too. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be three more opportunities to fish for genuine red snapper and keep one for dinner. Marine weather forecasts may not be that favorable, but watch closely as conditions may be calmer than reported. Other fish for the dinner table caught over the weekend included triggerfish, porgies and black sea bass.

Martin County

Fred Caimotto of Snook Nook Bait and Tackle in Jensen Beach said the offshore fishing has been getting better. Find the edge of the dirty water where it meets up with the clean blue water which has been in 180 to 300 feet of depth. A couple of Snook Nook customers followed that advice and came in over the weekend to weigh a 70-pound wahoo. Surf fishing action has been hit and miss with pompano, big whiting and croaker in the mix when conditions allow. Snook Nook will have its annual tent sale from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 16. Check in to Snook Nook Bait and Tackle's Facebook for a Facebook Live at 5 p.m. Wednesday for Capt. Justin Rieger of Just-N-Time charters and Capt. Jonathan Earhart of Chaos charters talking fishing.

Lake Okeechobee

Captains Mike and Nate Shellen of Okeechobeebassfishing.com reported good fishing for bass in many areas of the northern shore and western quadrant of the lake. The full moon had the bass chewing as they were eager to spawn. Wild shiners are one of the most reliable ways to catch good numbers and good sizes of bass. Speckled perch fishing has also been reliable.
