Joe Ward
(4/05/2007)
Red hot trout bite inshore & dolphin bite improving offshore. The inshore fishing has gotten better and better as the week has gone on. But, if this cold front does move in -- who knows what will take place. The trout bite has been red hot for anglers fishing to the south in the river at places like Bear Point, Little Mud Creek and the flats just north of the Jensen Beach Causeway.

Offshore bite looking good by
Tris Colket
(3/13/2007)
There continues to be a cosistent dolphin bite off of Ft. Pierce and south to St. Lucie Inlet. We are finding them anywhere from the offshore bar on out to 180'. The kings hanging inshore of the dolphin and the cobia are still on the manta rays wherever they happen to be feeding. This late in the season, sailfish have been raised and caught almost every day for the last week or so.

Big Snook Inshore Ft. Pierce by
Joe Ward
(2/23/2007)
Big snook inshore and offshore is getting better. The snook bite around the local bridges and in the Ft. Pierce Inlet has been steady. The one problem has been that the fish were either over the slot or under the slot. I only got a few reports of keepers. A Red Tail Hawk has been hard to beat this week with pinfish and select shrimp a close second.

Sheepshead Are Everywhere! by
Joe Ward
(1/18/2007)
Sheepshead are everywhere and a good trout bite. The weather this week hasn't been perfect for fishing unless you fished on Tuesday which was beautiful. I have been getting good reports of catch and release snook around both the North and South Bridges and along the lighted docks in the Ft. Pierce Inlet. Most anglers have been using small baits like a small greenie, a small pinfish and even small live shrimp.

To the South the bite has been from Bear Point down to Blind Creek and to the North it has been from the North Bridge to the Moorings Flats in Vero Beach.

Opening Of Trout Season Fishing Report by
Joe Ward
(1/04/2007)
The opening of trout season has been slow. The inshore reports have been slow coming in this past week. With the opening of trout season the best bite has been along the docks along North and South Indian River Drive. From dark to daylight try free lining a live shrimp. This has been working the best this past week. The redfish have pushed in close to the mangroves -- try using a soft plastic baits or a live shrimp.

Ft. Pierce Inshore - Offshore Report by
Joe Ward
(12/14/2006)
The wind isn't keeping the snook anglers from fishing until the season closes. Most of the week the sea conditions were only good for the bigger boats and they reported sailfish, again to the north of the Ft. Pierce Inlet. The bite has been starting in 80 feet of water but, along with the sails you had to put up with the cuda's, sharks and the kingfish. Most of the kingfish reported were in 50 to 70 feet of water and taking a slow trolled live bait if you could find them.

Trout Bite Is Good In Deepr Holes by
Joe Ward
(12/07/2006)
The catwalks of the South Bridge has been a good place to fish for the land locked anglers. They have been reporting good catches of sheepshead, snapper, flounder, croakers, sand perch and a few nice size black drum. Most of the fish were caught on a live shrimp. The trout both to the north and south in the river have been in the deeper holes along the flats. Remember that trout season is still closed and you need to handle the trout as little as possible.

High Winds In Ft Pierce Have Not Slowed Down The Fishing by
Joe Ward
(11/30/2006)
Even with the wind and rain the fish are active. The inshore fishing this week has been good if you were brave enough to fish in the rain and wind. There were a couple of mornings that it wasn't that bad. On Tuesday my charter caught and released all the big trout we could handle. We were using a live shrimp and free lining it. Trout season remains closed in November and December.

Flounder and Snook Bite Good Inshore Ft Pierce by
Joe Ward
(11/26/2006)
Flounder and snook bite has been good inshore and sailfish and dolphin offshore. The inshore fishing has been good even with the cold temps and the wind. The snook action has been good around both the North and South Bridges at night at the beginning of the our going tide. A live pinfish or a hand pick shrimp have been the way to go. I did get a report of an over the slot snook caught on a Flair Hawk in the Turning Basin.

Fishing Will Pick Up When Winds Calms Down by
Joe Ward
(11/08/2006)
Wind blowing -- not much fishing. Fishing will pick up when the wind lays down. The inshore fishing this week has been tough to say the least. The strong winds have kept most anglers at home. But, as the wind lays down look for the water to start clearing up and for lots of action from the snook. The best places will be around the local bridges and in the Ft. Pierce Inlet. The croakers, sheepshead and weakfish will be in the deeper holes of the Intercoastal. But for now the only reports are that there is plenty of jacks in the Ft. Pierce Inlet.

High Winds and Sloppy Seas by
Joe Ward
(11/01/2006)
Due to the wind conditions the fishing has been slow. The ocean has been sloppy with only a few big boats trying with only a few fish to report. The handful of dolphin that were caught came from 160 to 180 feet of water and were caught on naked ballyhoo. A few kings were reported in 60 to 90 feet of water and they were taking a live blue runner.

(10/19/2006)
The trout bite has been good inshore and the seas are laying down and the fishing is improving. The inshore fishing has been good for some anglers and slow for others. I have been getting reports of some nice trout early in the morning up around the Moorings Flats to the North and finger mullet has been the bait to use.

Snook Bite Is Getting Better Ft Pierce Inshore by
Joe Ward
(10/11/2006)
Snook bite is betting better, dolphin and kingfish bite still going strong. The inshore fishing has improved some this week for the anglers looking for snook. It is still not a red hot bite but the reports from the local bridges and in the Turning Basin are improving. The best catches are coming form the late night tide change and a live bait like a croaker, pinfish, mullet or a select shrimp have produced the most fish.

Good Dolphin Bite Ft Pierce Offshore by
Joe Ward
(10/05/2006)
With the wind picking up it has made the water inshore dirty and rough offshore. The inshore fishing has been up and down this week as the wind has just kept blowing and has made the water cloudy again. Some anglers are finding a few keeper size snook around the bridges in Ft. Pierce as well as a few in the Ft. Pierce Inlet. Live baits like pinfish, croakers and mullet have been working the best.
