INSHORE -
This week snook season opened and a lot of the reports were about the Ft. Pierce Inlet. Anglers who were drifting live baits in the Inlet on the tide changes are catching nice upper slot fish -- 30 to 32 inches but, even more fish are over the slot -- fish up to 40 inches. Along with the snook I did get reportsof a good number of big redfish mixed in and taking live baits. Snook fishing around the bridges started off a little slow with most of the action coming from around the fenders of the North Bridge. Again, a live bait has worked the best. On the flats the docks along Indian River Drive have been producing some slot fish and a lot of undersized fish. A top water bait fished early in the morning has accounted for most of the fish. As for the rest of the inshore action-- it has been about the same.The trout action remains good on the flats right after first light and the snapper bite along the channel edges remains steady. Also, a few tarpon around Big Mud Creek.
OFFSHORE -
The dolphin action has been a little on the slow side. The fish that have been reported are coming from 200 to 400 feet of water and hitting ballyhoo. I am still getting reports of a few nice cobia around the buoys and over the reefs. Most of the fish were caught on a live bait or squid. There is a lot of kingfish, bonita and cuda's in 30 to 90 feet of water and hitting ballyhoo a live baits. And, the bottom fishing has been steady over the reefs and wrecks.
