Fishing Report 11/21/13

Inshore

Trout have been the main target on the flats and drop offs for us these past weeks. Focus on 4-5 foot of water on outgoing tides around Ft. Pierce. The D.O.A.  4" shrimp has worked well. If you are just looking to bend a line there is plenty of lady fish and jacks in the Saint Lucie inlet area. Any lure worked fast will entice a bite from these greedy creatures. Snook fishing around the bridges in Stuart and Fort Pierce has been hit and miss. Try throwing D.O.A. Terror Eyz in the "Big one" size up current around the structure and slowly reel in. Also with the rain today and tomorrow try your local spillways with the same technique. Finally don't forget about the sheepshead bite. Grab some live shrimp and hit the docks and bridge pilings almost anywhere to find some consistent action.

Offshore

The weather has kept us off the beach the last few weeks. Reports of a good dolphin bite off Boynton Beach and Palm Beach has been the norm almost everyday. Live finger mullet works well drifting and slow trolling, but always remember to have a pitch bait like a D.O.A. Terror Eyz or Baitbuster for cruising fish. We are getting into the prime time of year for sailfish. In the coming weeks I will be trying kite fishing from the yak for the first time, so look for a report in the coming weeks.

Fishing Report 11/4/2013

Inshore

We are getting into my favorite time of year to fish the lagoon. With every cold front the chance of pompano gets better and better. Once the water temp drops start to look for these guys on channel edges. I love trowing a D.O.A. shrimp to entice a bite.

These last few weeks we have had a few weak cold fronts which have started to push the trout and snook to deeper water. We found a good amount of trout on drop offs around the river in the 4-6' range. Try pitching a D.O.A. shrimp in Figi Chicken. I like using the 1/2 oz size to give me a little more distance when casting. Your best bet for snook is to hit the bridges as night as well as lighted docks. I like using D.O.A. swimming mullets on the bridges and tossing D.O.A. shrimp or Cal jerk baits under docks. Redfish can be found along the mangroves throughout the day. Also try looking for them on the flats midday when the sun has brought up the water temp.

Offshore

My main target has been the dolphin in the Jupiter area these last few weeks. For us it is a good pedal, but it is worth the reward. Look for weeds and rips in the 100-130' range. Drift or slow troll live bait while scanning the water for fish. I like to have a D.O.A Terror Eyz or Baitbuster ready to pitch to cruising fish. Don't be surprised to pick up a sailfish in the same area, as they have been thick as well. Bottom fishing has been really good in the Jupiter/Plam Beach area. Try bouncing a dead sardine on a standard bottom rig to catch mangrove, yellowtail and mutton.
