INSHORE - This has been a tough month for most
anglers because of the weather conditions -- NE to NW winds over
15mph. There has not been that many good days to go fishing
unless you could find a spot out of the wind or tuff it on the
catwalks of the South Bridge. However, some anglers this
week managed to make it work. The catch and release trout
action remains steady in the deeper cuts when fishing with a live
shrimp or a small jig heads. Try places with 5 to 9 feet
of water early and then move to 3 to 5 feet after the sun starts
to warm things up. Most of the action has been coming from
the catwalks of the South Bridge with plenty of sandperch, black
drum, a few croakers and plenty of sheepshead being caught on shrimp
-- both live and frozen. The snook fishing remains good around
the docks in the Ft. Pierce Inlet and a pinfish has been the way
to go. Also, around the Inlet there has been a few nice flounder
caught on a live shrimp or a finger mullet. Look for the
jacks, spanish mackerel and a few bonnet head sharks in the Ft.
Pierce Inlet and they have been feeding on just about anything.
OFFSHORE - There is no offshore report due to
the weather conditions.
TEEN ANGLERS - The Treasure Coast Chapter of
Teen Anglers are supposed to fish tomorrow morning at 6:45am. But,
with the weather reports we have seen this morning I don't think
it will happen. I will let you know the results next week
if we fish. For more info on Teen Anglers or for the 5 to
11 age group just go to the web at www.teenanglers.org
BRAGGING BOARD - I got an e-mail from Capt. Tris
Colket on the charter boat LAST MANGO. Last week he had the
father and son team of Jeff and Will Tonkel who were visiting Vero
Beach from Palm Harbor, Florida. Their good family friend Larry
White was also onboard. They headed out the Ft. Pierce Inlet
and went southeast. Capt. Colket said that the sailfish
bite has been on and off but they were rewarded for their efforts
with Will's 1st sailfish. Will -- age 9 is an avid angler but
mostly fish's freshwater. His dad -- Jeff rounded out the day
with a nice catch of dolphin.
If you would like to report a catch,
call me at 772-201-5770 or e-mail me at cward11605@aol.com.
Until next week, keep fishing.
Capt. Joe Ward
