Over in Fort Lauderdale, the low hit at 6:00 AM at minus 0.06 feet, with a high of 2.04 feet around 11:46 AM. According to the Great Days Outdoors Alabama report, January's been throwing us classic Gulf Coast whiplash—cold fronts and wind limiting offshore opportunities, but we've got a decent weather window right now to get out there. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** The Juno Bait fishing report shows snook fishing remains solid inshore, especially around bridges at night and first light. Pompano action's been consistent both on the beach and at the pier. Recent catches include nice trout over 20 inches in the Tampa area using topwater early, plus decent redfish action. Mullet schools are moving through nicely, which means jacks and tarpon are following. Sheepshead and small black drum are biting inshore thanks to cooler water. **Best Bait & Lures** Live mullet and live shrimp are your go-to baits for snook. For pompano, sandfleas and clams are producing. Bright-colored jigs—orange, pink, and chartreuse—are working great. Topwater lures like Rapala Skitter V's are crushing trout early in the day. For offshore, bonita strips with a sea-witch trolled behind a planer is the ticket right now. **Hot Spots** Hit the Juno Beach Pier early morning or late afternoon for pompano. The bridges around Fort Lauderdale at sunrise are prime for snook. Palm Beach Inlet's been holding jacks and tarpon if you're feeling adventurous. Thanks for tuning in!
