The Spring season officially begins on March 20th  and brings with it some great opportunities for fishing the Treasure Coast. We should start seeing baitfish along Gilbert’s Shoal, the Sandpile, and Bullshark Barge. So have your sabiki rods ready and look for birds. The cobia should start showing up under the sharks at those same [...]

This winter has been very active with lots of baitfish showing up inshore near the Crossroads getting chased by snook and monster jacks early in the morning. These bait-schools can be seen weaving through docks and on the edges of the flats. It’s a great opportunity to throw topwater flies and lures at the bait [...]

The New Year has arrived with some fun fishing opportunities for light tackle anglers in Martin County. The Spanish mackerel are in full swing at Peck’s Lake Reef. Just simply head out of the St. Lucie Inlet and head south until you see 50-100 boats. Glass minnow chumming while casting glow tube jigs will catch [...]

November was a cool, windy month pushing some migratory fish down the coast such as Spanish Mackerel, bluefish, and pompano. This can be a fun fishing opportunity for all anglers fishing from the beach or by boat. The Spanish mackerel will school up a bunch down the coast from the St. Lucie Inlet to Peck’s [...]

The mullet run started in September and the beach fishing was blown out with windy conditions through most of October. On top of that, we had record rainfall causing very dark-stained water.  This limited visibility takes away allot of the feeding and pushes the mullet south towards Jupiter. We are also seeing Lake Okeechobee discharges [...]

The mullet run started mid-September in the river, but we havn't seen them cruising down the coast. Looks like it could be October for beach action, so hopefully the wind stays calm. The causeway bridges have been holding tarpon, big jacks, and snook feeding on the mullet, and the best action seems to be around [...]

The bait has been insane this summer! Plenty of pilchards and greenies have been easy sabiki baits to catch at Bullshark Barge three miles south of the inlet. While out there, you can always cast a lure or fly for a bonito, or drop a bonito for a goliath grouper. Endless schools of minnows have [...]

The summer started with some serious rainfall in early June causing lots of freshwater runoff in the river. Luckily, lake Okeechobee was very low after a super-dry spring season, so they haven’t been draining the lake, which we all know is never good. However, the fresh water in the river has kept the pilchard baits [...]

May is the final month of snook season, and it’s the best opportunity for anglers to catch keeper snook as they school up near the inlet for the summer months. These snook can be caught pitching baitfish at the rock-piles at the inlet, or docks and sandy shorelines close to the inlet, The live greenie [...]
