Good morning everyone! Fishing along the beaches has been red hot, with everything from Snook and Tarpon to Jack Crevalle and Ladyfish, as well as Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. The bait can range from glass minnows, Pilchards, greenies, to mullet, so be prepared for all. Plenty of fish being caught on Hogys, DOA Bait Busters, plugs, and flies. It’s a great time to take kids or the newbie out to catch fish and have plenty of activity. Offshore, there’s been quite a few Sailfish caught recently, mostly on live bait, and some Dolphin caught in quite shallow. Bottom fishing has been a bit slow, but there are some Mangrove Snapper being caught on some of the shallower reefs. Fort Pierce and Sebastian Inlets have been producing Snook, mostly on live bait, but don’t forget the season is still closed. Inshore, Snook are still around in good numbers, with plenty hanging around culverts and outflows with the recent rains, with Tarpon mixed in. Seatrout have been active early in cleaner water areas, but shut down when the temps rise. Good luck out there!
