INSHORE - Well, another week of not much to report with the temps dipping down in to the low 40"s and with a strong north wind which has made fishing tough. However, I did get reports from anglers fishing in the afternoon when things warmed up some and they were catching a few trout down around Middle Cove in 3 to 5 feet of water and were using a soft plastic baits. I am still getting a few reports of redfish coming from the docks along Indian River Drive. Most of the fish were caught on a finger mullet. And, with the water temps dropping the snook fishing has slowed down with only a few fish being reported. These snook came from the Ft. Pierce Inlet and were caught on jigs that were slowly bumping the bottom.
OFFSHORE - Not much to report due to the sea conditions but, I did get reports from several of the big sport fishing boats and they reported sailfish action to the north of the Ft. Pierce Inlet in 100 feet of water. Even with the big boats they said it was rough.
