August 2019
The silver-side minnows and mullet are schooled up on the beaches with endless snook and tarpon, and jacks feeding on them. We mostly throw artificials when walking the beaches such as MirroLure Mirr-O-Minnows and Yo-Zuri Crystal minnows, DOA Baitbusters and Jigs. For flies we throw Puglisi Ghost Minnows, Gummi Minnows, and clousers. The key is […]
July 2019
The weather is getting hot and so is the fishing as we get into July! The baitfish greenies are schooled up just outside the St. Lucie Inlet, Bullshark Barge, and Sandpile. The pilchards are showing up more along the beaches and under the greenies. Simply look for birds on the beaches, move in fast, and […]
June 2019
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 2019
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 […]
April 2019
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 […]

February 2019
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 2018
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 […]
November 2018
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 […]
