Fort Pierce is still the best bet for some inshore action. South of south bridge has produced some nice trout, sheepshead and mangrove snappers. A popping cork with live shrimp has worked best for the sheepshead and mangroves, while the DOA shrimp has done well for the trout. North bridge flats are producing large trout and lower slot reds on the incoming tide. Try using a DOA Airhead rigged weightless on a 5/0 hook. Jason Broach of Vero Beach actually took down the North Palm Beach Kayak Tournament fishing these fort pierce areas with a 81.25" slam. Also don't forget about the small tarpon still hanging around little and big mud creeks. The DOA Terror Eyz continues to work best to entice a bite from these guys.

We continued to live bait the last few weeks trying to get in on the wahoo bite and it paid off with a nice 25lber caught in 200'. We also has a few days with multiple sailfish caught anywhere from 120'-180' off Boynton Beach. The sails have been hitting blue runners as well as goggle eyes. There has also been an outstanding kingfish bite pretty much from 80' out to 200'. We found the larger kings (25lb+) to be coming from 180'-200'. Try rigging these live baits with 18 inches of 50lb wire tied to a 4/0 live bait hook and attaching a #4 extra strong treble as a stinger.
Good luck out there!
