Looking Around - Ft Pierce Area

INSHORE - Everything should start to heat up in June including the weather. The best inshore action should be from first light until about 9am and from 6pm until dark. During these hours try a top water bait like a Zara Spook, Chug Bug and for the anglers that like to throw soft plastic baits try a D.O.A. Bait Buster. For the rest of you that like live bait try a pigfish, mullet, shrimp or a crab. This method will catch a snook, trout, redfish and lots of big jacks. Try places like Harbor Branch, Round Island or Queen's Cove to the north and to the south you can try Bear Point, Herman's Bay or the docks along South Indian River Drive. Just remember that June 1st snook season closed and it catch and release only. 

The snapper fishing should also be good around the bridges and the channel edges. A live shrimp fished on a #2 hook, a 20# fluorocarbon leader and a 1/2 to 1oz. lead should work just fine. The tarpon should be here in full force in the Ft. Pierce Inlet, the Moorings and around the Big Mud Creek area. Try using a live mullet.
