From Capt Joe Ward @ Bait Shack - FT Pierce

The inshore fishing has been a little on the slow side due to all the fresh water runoff that is in the river right now. Look for patches of clear water around the Midway Road area to the south and Round Island to the north. Both places have been holding trout, snook, plenty of jacks and ladyfish. Live pilchards, threadfins or small mullet have been the baits of choice. If you free line one of these baits it will surely bring you some action. Look for the redfish around the docks along both North & South Indian River Drive. Try a live shrimp fished on a jighead. Look for the snapper action to continue to improve along the channel edges of the Intercoastal. Try a small - live shrimp.
