You can look for the fishing to be good as the weather becomes warmer and not as windy. There will be plenty of snook in the Fort Pierce Inlet and these fish will be taking live baits like pilchards, greenies or pinfish. Make sure you fish on the bottom at places like Judy Rock or the cleaning table. The first hour of the outgoing tide should be the best time to fish. There should be plenty of big trout up on the flats both to the north and south in the Indian River. Try a top water bait at first light then switch to a live pilchard or a greenie. Fish the live bait under a popping cork or just free line it. Look for redfish to be around the deeper end of the flats during the early morning and they’ll be taking soft plastic baits or a piece of cut ladyfish. Live crab will work as well. As the days get hotter, look around the docks and mangroves for reds and try live shrimp. Around the full moon along the channel edges, start looking for a good snapper bite. Try a live shrimp or a mojarra and use a ½-ounce weight and a #2 hook. It’s also getting time for tripletail to show up around the channel markers. Use a ¼-ounce Troll-Rite and a large live shrimp.
