From Capt. Charlie @ Fishing Center - Ft Pierce

Winds have prevailed the past several weeks around the area and this has made it challenging some days to fish. We get one or two days each week that allows us to get to some of my favorite spots and the rest of the time we are hiding from the winds. Fishing has been very good this past week when you can get to your spots.

The sheepshead and drum are in the river and you can find them along channel edges, bridges and docks around the river. There are still lots of snapper to be caught in the same areas. Our redfish have been around docks and mangroves with a few nice slot fish caught this week. Try a DOA CAL paddle tail when fishing docks or mangroves. 
The pompano are in the river now so you can expect to find some around the area. Several reports of pompano caught along the surf this week when the beach has been fishable. You can also find plenty of whiting there, too. Anglers have been catching some snook around the jetties this week. It's been tough with the weather. I've had a few reports of flounder on the south side of the jetties in Fort Pierce. The inlet has been full of mackerel, jacks, ladyfish and blue runners. The macks have been nice size for us. There is a variety of fish to be had depending on weather conditions.
