Good morning everyone. We have some changes coming due to the Coronavirus situation. We will be open as normal thru Friday April 3rd, and be closed Saturday April 4th and Sunday April 5th. We will reopen on the afternoon of Monday April 6th for phone ahead orders only in all three stores for the foreseeable future. We intend to maintain all services and capabilities, but with limited contact with customers for your safety and ours.
On the fishing front, there are still quite a few quality Snook around in the Indian River. Due to relatively clear, calm conditions, most of the larger fish have been taken on live bait. There are also good numbers of Redfish and Seatrout taking soft plastics such as the DOA CAL paddle tails and flies such as the Shrimp Tease. Offshore, Dolphin fishing has been pretty good, with most fish out in the 300′ range, but some being landed in as close as 75′ mixed in with the Kingfish. A few Cobia are starting to show up in close taking jigs and live bait, and schools of larger Jack Crevalle have been menacing bait schools up and down the coast, taking topwater plugs and most anything else in their path. Fort Pierce Inlet still has plenty of Snook, but the clear water conditions have made live bait a much better bet. Good luck out there.
