From Capt. Joe Ward @ Bait Shack - Ft Pierce

INSHORE - The best action has been in the Ft. Pierce Inlet with schools of baits being attached by spanish mackerel, jacks and bonita's.  All you need is something small and shinny.  There has also been a fairly good trout bite around the Queen's Cove and Jack Island areas.  The best time has been at first light.  The redfish bite has slowed down with only a few fish being reported this week.  These fish came from around the docks along South Indian River Drive.  Try a gold spoon or a live shrimp.  The catch and release snook action has been steady in the Ft. Pierce Inlet at night and on the falling tide.  Try a live bait like a mullet, pigfish or a medium size live shrimp.  The snapper bite has been good when fishing along the channel edges both to the north and south of the bridges.  A small live shrimp or a small white bait has been the way to go.
