The summer has arrived along with some epic inshore opportunities for light tackle anglers. The tarpon are already showing up back in the St. Lucie River in the North Fork sipping on crabs drifting on the surface with an outgoing tide. Look for current rips with leaves and sticks holding small crabs 1-3 inches wide. [...]
May is a great month for fishing inshore and nearshore along the Treasure Coast. The pilchard baitfish are schooling up along the islands, flats, boat ramps, and beaches. On a calm morning, we basically cruise north up the coast looking for birds diving along the shoreline of the beaches. When it’s too rough to cruise [...]
The weather is warming back up, and with it comes baitfish feeding frenzies found along the coast and back in the river. Big jack cravelle can be found chasing bait just outside the inlet and inshore near Hell’s Gate and the 10 Cent Bridge. We mostly use flies and lures with fast retrieves. Popppers are [...]

The winter continues with some good light-tackle fishing in the River near the St. Lucie Inlet. The “back country” fishing can be best this time of year, targeting fish in the North and South forks of the St. Lucie River. Most of our local snook move back there during these cooler months. We’ve also been [...]

December can be great as the water temps cool down and some migrating fish species show up in the river and along the beaches. The Spanish mackerel and blue fish are always fun and easy fish to catch along the coast between the St. Lucie Inlet and Peck’s Lake Beach. They also show up inshore [...]
The fishing changes allot this time of year as the weather slowly cools down in November. The snook have moved further inshore back in the St. Lucie River where they hang around structure such as bridges, seawalls, docks, and mangroves. The big keeper snook are caught mostly along the river bottom under the bridges. The [...]

September can be one of the best months of the year for inshore and beach fishing as the “mullet run” kicks off! Big schools of mullet are migrating down the coast and trigger feeding frenzies of snook, tarpon, big jacks, and sharks. Simply cruising the coastline early in the morning by boat is the best [...]
