We've been back and forth between snook/redfish and snapper/sheepshead fishing. The cold front shut down the white bait, but the shrimp eaters remain hungry! If you're ready to jump on board and have some fun with us today!

The fishing has started to heat up down here like the temperature. There has been some really good redfish action lately although most have been on the smaller size. Shrimp tipped jig heads thrown up around the mangroves and oyster bars has been the go to method for them. The spotted sea trout bite had been great as of late. Shrimp under popping corks seems to be the bait of choice. Anglers have been picking up plenty of ladyfish and snapper as by catches. If you want to bend rods and make memories it has been a great time to do so.

Bite has been solid the past week inshore for redfish, snook and trout and nearshore has been good up to 9 miles offshore for grouper grunts snapper and sheepshead last week when the wind has allowed us to get out there. Everything on shrimp because everything loves shrimp.

This has been the hottest boat out of Fort Pierce. Mahi have shown up as well as Blackfin Tuna. Sails are also being caught. Bottom fishing has been fire for Jumbo Lane Snapper, Cobia and Triggerfish.
