From Capt. Joe Ward in Ft. Pierce





If it is a fish dinner you are looking for then you will want to go snapper fishing.  The mangrove snapper are along the channel edges both to the north and south in the Indian River and as well as around the area's bridges.  Small white baits or a small live shrimp are working the best.  The trout and redfish have also been active around the Spoil Islands and the docks along both North & South Indian River Drive.  A nice sized live shrimp has been hard to beat.  If you can't find the larger shrimp then try a soft plastic bait in a darker color.  The Ft. Pierce Inlet is still the hot spot for catch and release snook and tarpon.  Both fish are taking live baits.  Remember that snook season opens at 12:00am on September 1st.  You will want to make sure your gear is ready and that you know the rules and regulations.
