The spillways have been open since last week, I have a friend that has been killing them there.  Be careful at Forest Hill, it can be very dangerous at night or early in the morning,  I don't go there any more.  I've been fishing more open water with lower sea walls.  Snook tip of the day, feather on the incoming and lure on the outgoing.  I suggest having a pier net.

haha yesterday i went and got a pier net and that area seems to be getting terrible with crime and gangs now which sucks...i was there from 11pm-2am and kept having to make sure no one was coming behind me lol

Besides crime there, a group of fisherman there that feel it's their's, try and run you off.  You many want to try the boca/delray spillway, not too many fisherman.

I caught 33 incher this morning, then went cuda fishing and had one about 40".

im getting ready to go out in about an hour with a friend so we will try that spillway out haha we love to try new spots so we usually just follow close to the intercoastal till we find spillways or places to fish  

[SirSnookalot]

You may want to try Palm Beach just north of the Flagler bridge, can park on most streets there and big jacks are known for that area, up to 30 or 40#.
