Good Morning,

We are still anticipating the Spring Mahi run, a couple of boats that have gone out have reported a few small Mahi and Blackfins around but nothing too crazy yet. There have been a few reports of Yellowfin staring to show up on the corner and there has been some Wahoo still around too even with the warmer temps. Bottom fishing out of Ft. Pierce has been alright with a few Mangroves and Muttons being caught.

The Inshore bite has been picking up with Snook, Reds, Bluefish and Jacks being caught. The seawalls have been productive with big Snook and 10-30lbs Jacks caught on live Mullet and topwater lures. The bridges and docks in Stuart have also been holding a bunch of fish, If you can net some Pilchards or buy live Shrimp its great fun for the whole family. Pompano are still being caught off the beach on Fish Bites. There have been a bunch of Snook and big Trout on the flats from Ft. Pierce – Vero. They have been spooky but you shouldn’t have an issue getting a few to eat.

Weather:

High pressure over the western Atlantic extending to the Northern Gulf of Mexico will keep winds out of the southeast through early Saturday. Winds will veer to the south and strengthen to a moderate to fresh breeze Saturday night through Sunday ahead of an approaching cold front. This front will cross the local waters Sunday night and likely will be preceded by a band of strong to locally severe storms late Sunday afternoon and evening. Boaters should prepare for these potentially damaging storms.
