INSHORE -
Fishing has been good inshore for the anglers that were fishing between the rain storms -- both in the morning and afternoon. Plenty of trout has been reported this week at just about any place you found schools of glass minnows. The bait of choice has been soft plastic baits in the dark colors. The snook fishing remains good in the Ft. Pierce Inlet. Try drifting a live bait. Along the channel edges there is still a good snapper bite along with black drum and sheepshead. All of these fish are taking a live shrimp.Looking for a redfish with all the high tides has been hard. I did get a report of redfish up around the Queen's Cove area on the low tide and the fish were taking small crabs.
OFFSHORE -
The ocean conditions this week haven't been the best but, the boats that are going are saying that the fishing has been pretty good. The kingfish are hitting on live baits in 30 to 70 feet of water. Most of the fish were under 30 pounds. Look for the dolphin to be scattered in 90 to 170 feet of water and they are taking live baits or a trolled ballyhoo. And, again this week there has been a lot of sailfish sighting to the south of the Ft. Pierce Inlet in 100 feet of water. Most of the hook ups are on ballyhoo. I have been getting reports of some small tuna -- mostly under 5 pounds and taking ballyhoo in that same area as the sailfish. The bottom fishing has been a little tough with the sea conditions but still a few reports of snapper, sea bass and trigger fish. Fish over the reefs and wrecks in 50 to 90 feet of water. Look for spanish mackerel, jacks and sharks around the schools of bait fish along the beaches.

BRAGGING BOARD -
On Saturday - September 19th
Maxwell Higgins
had a good day of fishing. After catching and releasing 5 small snook and a redfish
Maxwell
caught a 5lb. 10oz. tripletail. He was fishing to the south of the power lines and using a 7ft.m/h rod with 20 pound mono and a 25 pound fluorocarbon leader with a jig head and a live shrimp. He said it was a great catch and even better dinner.
Maxwell
is a member of the Treasure Coast Chapter of Teen Anglers.
