Which fish look best today at Hobe Sound
The same day scores differently for each fish: water temperature, wind, tide and seas count differently for a snook than for a sheepshead. Today’s read for Hobe Sound, species by species.
Best bet: Snook.

Scores conditions for each fish, not where they are or when a run starts. Water temperature is today’s reading applied to the whole week, so a cold front further out won’t show here until the water follows. Temperature ranges are rules of thumb for Florida inshore water; the snook range is from published research.
Fishing Hobe Sound
Hobe Sound is the quiet stretch of Jupiter Island between Stuart and Jupiter, most of it inside a national wildlife refuge — undeveloped Atlantic beach on one side and the narrow, mangrove-lined Intracoastal on the other. The beach is a steep-faced pompano and snook surf with a close-in trough, and the sound behind it holds snook, reds, and big black drum around the docks and bridge. It's one of the most heavily used sea-turtle nesting beaches in the hemisphere.
Target species
- Snook
- Pompano
- Redfish
- Black drum
Local tip: The steep beach puts fish close — work the first trough on a rising tide rather than casting for distance.
