Season has died down some but we still have a few trips that went out.
We still have a few dates available for red snapper season. As long as the weather holds out.
Busiest October for us in a few years.

🎣 END OF SUMMER FISHING REPORT — STUART & JENSEN BEACH
St. Lucie River • Indian River Lagoon • St. Lucie Inlet
On the last day of summer, I've got some pretty good news from the water.
The river looks good. There's bait everywhere, we're seeing a lot of fish, and tonight at midnight SNOOK SEASON OPENS!
Anybody looking to eat a fresh Snook dinner?
Well, you've either got to catch one yourself… or know somebody who does. Snook aren't something you're going to walk into the grocery store and buy.
Here in the Indian River Lagoon region, recreational Snook...

Well, you've either got to catch one yourself… or know somebody who does. Snook aren't something you're going to walk into the grocery store and buy.
Here in the Indian River Lagoon region, recreational Snook harvest opens September 1 and runs through December 14. You can keep one Snook per person, per day, and it has to measure at least 28 inches and no more than 32 inches total length.
Anything smaller or bigger goes back to fight another day.
And remember — that 35-inch monster might make a great picture, but she doesn't make dinner. 📸🎣
🐟 ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO CATCH SNOOK
Live mullet. I love fishing a live mullet along a seawall during an incoming tide or during the first hour or two of the outgoing tide.
I'll usually throw the cast net and catch a few, then keep them alive in my livewell. A five-gallon bucket with a lid and bubbler works too... And trust me on the lid.
Mullet have an impressive ability to discover freedom the second you're not looking. 😂
Make sure you're fishing stout tackle with a strong leader. A good Snook isn't going to politely swim toward the boat. She's going to smoke the drag and head straight for the nearest dock piling, seawall, mangrove root or underwater obstruction.
We've been catching Sailfish: some trips with multiple releases. Mahi and Kingfish are biting. The current has been ripping. Snapper fishing has been tough the last couple of trips.

Snapper bite remain strong, fall fish starting to show up as well, nice flounder and permit making an appearance on the nearshore. Mullet run has begun stay tuned for some
Snook, reds, and spotted trout!

Captain Ricky was an awesome guy. It was a full moon, rainy,windy type day and he did about all he could do to get us on fish. The only improvement I felt he could make better for his clients is having Right and Left handed reels onboard. Both of us felt awkward using left side handled bait casting reels.
Captain Tim was all that I expected and more. This was my twin boys first time out on water and I will cherish this one for ever. He put us on fish right away and my boys are”Hooked” Thank You Captain Tim your experience, knowledge and skills were on point. Hope to see you next trip your new friends from Texas last but not least your Boat is super cool.
I had a great time fishing with Tim! He is very friendly and personable so it was like fishing with an old friend. He is also knowledgeable of the area and was able to put me on the fish I wanted to catch. I’m looking forward to getting back on the water with him next time I’m in the area. Thanks again!
Billy was great. Great communication before we arrived! Put us on fish and had great knowledge of the water! Will definitely book again and would recommend Capt Billy to anyone coming to fish!
Nothing less than an outstanding Captain and guide. Not o Lu did we catch fish, WE CAUGHT FISH. After the trip he filets them, wraps them and then sends you on your way to Marlin’s where they take your fish and cook it to your liking. A+ experience with Tim as well as the choice of dining! When I come back he’s my go to!
A repeat charter with my son n laws.
Jeff was great, put us in great position for the bite. Covered the spectrum fishing both the deep bite and nearer to shore along the ledge.
Will book again
my four sons went fishing with Scott and they had a great time. Scott was very knowledgeable and showed them all the best places to go fishing. we would definitely go fishing with Captain Scott again!
This was simply one of the best charter experiences I’ve ever had. Capt. Tim went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. My daughter-in-law, on her first salt water fishing trip, hooked and landed no less than 12 fish. I’m pretty sure the boat landed over 30 fish including Snapper, Trigger Fish, Red Grouper, Spot and Black Drum. Tim was knowledgeable, he’s spent his whole life fishing this area and we never had any doubt that he’d put us on the fish. Jolly, outgoing and professional every step Of the way. We will not hesitate to book again with him the next time we’re in the area! This guy rocks so , book him while you can!
