From Capt. Joe Ward in Ft. Pierce

INSHORE - Everyone has been looking for snook and there has been plenty to be found.  The only problems is finding one in the slot.  Most of the snook reported have been over or under the 28 to 32 inch slot.  The hot spots this past week has been the Taylor Creek Spillway, the docks along the Ft. Pierce Inlet and around both the North and South Bridges.  The top baits have been croakers, pinfish, pigfish and mullet.  A lot of smaller fish were caught on a live shrimp.  The trout bite has slowed down a little but the redfish bite remains good.  There has been plenty of dirty water to slow things down but the most productive place has been the area down around the Power Plant.  Try a live shrimp for the redfish and a pigfish for the trout.  There is still plenty of snapper along the channel edges and they are taking small live shrimp.  The finger mullet have been everywhere and the flounder will take a small one.  The bite was fairly good at the South Jetty over the weekend.
