Good morning everyone, looks like we’ve finally got some nicer weather again. The recent rains don’t seem to have discolored the Indian River all that much, so sight fishing should still be very much a possibility. Prior to the rains of the last few days, Snook continued to be the star, with larger fish still inhabiting the flats, and Tarpon are becoming more active as well in places like the Sebastian River, the Moorings, and others. Seatrout fishing has picked up a bit of late, on the flats and the drop offs around spoil islands, with live shrimp and soft plastics being most effective. Surf activity has started to pick up a bit, with bait showing up more and more, some glass minnows, Pilchards, and greenies. Snook, Spanish Mackerel, and the occasional Bluefish have been around for those putting the time in. Pompano fishing has remained viable, though not spectacular, and the water seems to be clearing up daily, so that should help. Offshore, Dolphin have been in close in the 80′ to 100′ range, and Sailfish just outside that, with live bait most effective. Kingfish and Cobia have been along the reef, but the Bull Sharks are a menace, as bad as any time in recent memory. Mangrove Snapper have also been taken in the 60′ range, on live and dead bait. Snook fishing in the inlets has been good, but mostly on live bait due to the very clear water. Good luck out there.
