Inshore
Pompano, bluefish, jacks and Spanish mackerel become more of the focus in January. I like to target areas near the inlets, like the mouth of the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter and Sailfish Flats in Stuart. These areas provide deeper channels and sand flats for the above mentioned species to swim in and out with the tides. Try working the edges of these channels with Goofy jigs, small buck tails and D.O.A. Shrimp. With colder weather comes colder water and wind. It’s a great idea to get a pair of waders to keep you warm and dry from waves and spray on windy days
Offshore
January is considered one of the best months to target sailfish, but what turns the bite on is the hard northeast winds. If you can time a trip just before the wind or right after, you should end up with a nice day. Sailfish prefer smaller baits like smaller goggle eyes, pilchards or finger mullet. Keeping them up top on the surface and frisky is your best bet. Kite fishing can be done in a kayak, but in my opinion, keep it simple. Flat lined baits as I mentioned will do just fine.
