From Capt. Charlie @ Fishing Center - Ft Pierce

Warm springlike weather continued to look down on the Treasure Coast for another week.  It's been a little windy out there most days, but it is still very nice weather to get out fishing.  The water temperatures warmed up to the high sixties and low seventies and the fish have been biting good most days.  Look for similar weather in the near future with spring closing in on the area.  Winds will be a part of the weather forecast each day this month.  There are plenty of fishing spots to get out of the wind, so have fun and get out fishing!



We continue to catch the juvenile snook while fishing the mangroves.  It great to see them come back from the freeze a few years ago.  Nighttime anglers are landing some slot snook around the bridges and jetties on live bait, feather jigs and TerrorEyz.  Trout have been on the flats in two to five feet of water.  
 Around the docks, channel edges and bridges, you can find sheepshead, black drum and some snapper.  Bluefish and mackerel have been around the jetties and turning basin in Fort Pierce.  Small shiny lures work best for the toothy critters.  You can find pompano scattered around the river now.  Doc's Goofy Jigs and Capt Joe's jigs are popular by the pompano fishermen.  It's been a fun week on the river!
