Good Morning!
Offshore there are Sailfish being caught mixed in with the Mahi in 150-250ft range. Blackfin’s are still being caught with reports of them anywhere from 100ft to 200ft. Bottom fishing has been great in the 80ft range, Nice Snapper and Grouper have been caught in the recent days. The Kingfish bite has been good south of the Loran tower along with some Cobia.
Inshore has been alright, with the recent Rainwater in Vero the bite has been tough, there are still a few Trout and Redfish around, live shrimp or pilchards will be your best bet to get the bite. The west side of the river in Ft pierce has still been great. Slot Snook and gator Trout are still hitting topwaters and Shrimp imitations. The Snook have started moving out to the beach with reports of Slot and Overslot fish north of Ft. Pierce inlet and south of St Lucie inlet. there have been a lot of Spanish Mackerel of the beach in Stuart.
