Capt. Joe Ward - Ft. Pierce


The inshore fishing should be turning to the summer patterns as the water has been warm most of the winter and this will make everything happen earlier.  Look for a good trout and redfish bite on the flats.  Try using a soft plastic bait like a D.O.A. Shrimp or a C.A.L. in a light color early in the day and then go to live baits like white baits or a shrimp.  Try places like the Moorings Flats, Harbor Branch or from Bear Point south to Herman's Bay.  Look for the snapper to move into the Ft. Pierce Inlet and along the channel edges.  A small live shrimp will be your bait of choice.  The snook bite should also be good around the Turning Basin and at the area's bridges.  Try using a live pinfish or pigfish and fish around the fenders of the bridges.
