Good morning,

The offshore bite has been rewarding for the people who will brave the seas to get out there. There have been plenty of Mahi off of Ft. Pierce and Stuart and the Cobia have been pretty thick off the Sand pile in Stuart. It looks as if the seas will calm down at the beginning of next week and we will have a more solid report as we head into next week.

The inshore fishing has been pretty good this past week in the St. Lucie river. Overslot Snook, Gator Trout and the occasional Tarpon have been caught using 4″ Spool-teks in the darker colors, DOA Shad tails in 407 and 304 with a 1/4oz jig head, and top water lures in chrome or bone. The Tarpon fishing in the Fort Pierce inlet has been good as well. Pitching live Shrimp or Pilchards to rolling fish will get the bite. The flats fishing in the Ft. Pierce to Vero area has producing a great Snook and Trout bite also. Throwing pilchards against the mangroves is a fool poof way to get the bite but bait fish pattern flies and lures will work as well.

Our Monthly seminar series in the Stuart shop will start back up this upcoming Monday, April 17th. Austin Collins from Accurate fishing will be here giving a seminar on bottom fishing and vertical jigging. With the Tunas coming in and the Mutton spawn right around the corner, now will be a great time to learn a new fishing tactic or brush up on your skills. He will also be answering any questions on Accurate fishing products. The Seminars will start at 6pm and end around 8pm. There will be food and a few giveaways so be sure to stop by!
