INSHORE -
There is only one word to describe the inshore fishing this week and that is SLOW! I have only had reports of a handful of small trout being reported and they came from around Bear Point. I did have several reports of redfish sightings but nothing was caught. Most of the redfish were along the docks of South Indian River Drive. There has been a few grouper reported along the channel edges to the north of the North Bridge. But, it was a lot of work for a few fish and most were under the slot. The snook bite in the Ft. Pierce Inlet has been steady on the out going tide when using pinfish for bait. There are still a few spanish mackerel, bluefish and jack around the Ft. Pierce Inlet and in the Intercoastal.
OFFSHORE -
I had reports of scattered dolphin action starting in about 130 feet of water and out to about 155 feet. Most of the anglers reported that a white/pink skirted ballyhoo got the most action. There have been some kingfish in the 12 to 20 pound range coming from around the Offshore Bar. A slow trolled blue runner was the way to go. Still not much to report about the bottom fishing. There have been a few small snapper, triggerfish, sea bass and plenty of sharks. There were a couple of grouper reported that came from the wrecks in 160 feet of water.
