Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Surf activity started back up this AM after several days of rough conditions and dirty water. Bluefish, Jack Crevalle, and Spanish Mackerel were all active along the beaches in the Cove, and hopefully Pompano action will follow shortly. The water in the inlets has started to clear up, so Snook activity…
Conditions have obviously been tough the last few days, but nicer weather is ahead, and hopefully the fishing will get going again. Surf conditions will likely take several days to clear up, but hopefully the Spanish Mackerel and Pompano will get rolling again when they improve. Offshore is likely to be rough for a few…
Snook season opens at Midnight, so it’s time to load up on some flare hawks and plugs and head to the inlets. Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish have been off the beaches, sometimes in reach from shore, sometimes out of range. Metals that throw well have been productive, such as Gotcha plugs. There have been some…
It looks like we’ll get a break from the weather this Saturday, so make plans to take advantage of it. The water in the Indian River has been very clear, and Seatrout numbers have been better than they’ve been in several years. Spoil islands and shorelines have been productive on soft plastics and shrimp. Redfish…
Weather has been less than ideal, but fishing has been pretty good despite the conditions. Spanish Mackerel have been up and down the beach, particularly in the Cove in Vero and around the inlets, along with some decent Bluefish. Pompano fishing has been good when the conditions have cooperated with some clean water, mostly on…
Things are calming down after the heavy winds of the last few days, hopefully leading to some cleaner, calmer surf. Spanish Mackerel have been active in the inlets, with spoons and metals doing most of the work. Offshore, Sailfish have been active in 200′ of water, boding well for the Pelican going on now. Inshore,…
The colder weather has kicked off some good Pompano fishing in the surf, mostly with sand fleas, with the Cove in Vero being a good area. Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish up to 15 lbs. have also been around from Vero to Stuart, making surf anglers a happy bunch. Nearshore Spanish Mackerel fishing has been exceptional,…
With colder temps heading here for the weekend there’s some hope for cleaner, clearer water to come with it. The west winds will likely calm and clean up the surf. Expect the Pompano bite to pick up and get rolling, as well as Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel. The colder temps will likely push more of…
With tougher conditions continuing, the Indian River remains the best bet. Off colored water makes sight fishing still difficult, but culverts and relief canals are prime spots on a falling tide. Soft plastics such as the NLBN 3″ paddle tails are a good bet, as well as plugs. Docks have also been productive, as have…
With the tough weather starting today and going thru the weekend, inshore and the inlets are likely the only viable options. Inshore remains good, with larger Snook having moved inside and taking up residence. With the likely rainfall on the weekend, culverts and relief canals are a solid bet. Shorelines and flats have held fish…
