Good Morning,
Offshore:
The offshore bit has been steady out of both Stuart and Ft. Pierce inlets, Mahi bite has been alright around 200ft. a couple Sailfish have been caught but nothing to crazy. The Cobia can be found on the Sandpile in Stuart on the bullsharks and a few free swimming the beach. There have been a bunch of big snapper caught on the reefs at 60ft.
Inshore:
A few Snook have been caught at the inlet in ft. Pierce and around the Bridges in Stuart but the bite hasn’t been on fire. There have been a lot of Slot Snook on the dock lights in Jensen and Stuart. These fish are willing to take bigger lures and flies. The west side of the river along the docks has been producing slot Snook, Reds, and Gator Trout. Monster 3x shrimp and twitch baits have been the lures of choice for wade fishermen.
