    ### Weather
    The morning is bright and brisk, with cold northwest winds at about 19 knots and an air temperature of around 40 degrees. The ocean temperature is a bit warmer at 51 degrees. As the day progresses, winds are expected to ease, making it a more comfortable day for fishing[5].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:14 AM, and sunset is at 5:09 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit your favorite spots.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a variety of fish being caught. At Jennette's Pier, anglers caught SEA MULLET, SAND PERCH, SPOT, small CROAKER, SPECKLED TROUT, BLUEFISH, and even some TRIGGERFISH. The surf zone was particularly active with catches of BLUEFISH, GRAY TROUT, and SPANISH MACKEREL[5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For saltwater fishing in these waters, some of the best lures include paddletail soft plastic lures, gold spoons, shrimp lures, and jerkbaits. These lures are versatile and can mimic the baitfish and other prey that the local fish are feeding on. If you're fishing from the beach or shoreline, a paddletail lure is a good choice. For pier and bridge fishing, a shrimp lure can be very effective[3].

    ### Hot Spots
    Jennette's Pier is always a hot spot, offering a diverse range of fish species. Another good location is the waters around Atlantic Beach, where the tidal changes can bring in a variety of fish.

    In summary, today's conditions are favorable for a productive fishing trip. Make sure to match your lures to the local baitfish and take advantage of the tidal changes to increase your chances of a good catch. Stay warm and enjoy the day on the water
