Fantastic weather around the Treasure Coast this week has allowed for some great fishing action around the area for most anglers. We have been hitting the water at first light and getting off by noon, just before the afternoon rains begin to move into the area. It's been a great week out on the water!
Redfish have been on the flats in good numbers for us and we have had some exciting action out there. Schools up to 100 fish have been out there and it is certainly exciting to see those upper slot fish swimming just in front of you. DOA shrimp or live bait can give you some exciting action if you happen on one of these schools of redfish!
Trout action has been good most days. Sea trout are being caught using DOA shrimp and CAL jerk baits. We have been fishing both north and south of Fort Pierce and having success in both directions. Find the bait on the grass flats and you should find some trout.
Snook season opens in a couple weeks and anglers are eagerly anticipating the chance at a slot fish on September 1st. Bridges, inlets and jetties will be good areas to target with DOA Terror Eyz, live baits and feather jigs. It's catch and release for now, but soon you might find that fish to put on the table. There is still a good snapper bite around the river. Docks, bridges and channel edges are the usual snapper haunts, but we have caught a number on the flats as well the largest was 14" this past week.
The surf continues to hold whiting and you should also find bluefish and jacks around the beaches this time of year. There has also been a lot of ladyfish for the young anglers to keep their rods bending. It's been a lot of fun this week!
To the angler who loves to fish the beaches, shores, jetties, bridges and piers of Florida.
