With that being said, many of the teams caught a pile of schoolie Mahi while out there day timing. The Wahoo bite was good south of Stuart this past weekend with a few big fish being caught high speeding. There have been plenty of Kingfish to go around on the reefs out of Stuart as well.

The inshore Snook bite has been great with many big fish being caught off the beach from Stuart to Vero. The bridge bite at night has been fantastic in Stuart throwing into the shadow lines. There have still been a few tarpon around the crossroads that will be wiling to eat a mullet on an incoming tide.
