The inshore fishing should be red hot along with the water temps. With snook season closing on June 1st, there will still be some good catch and release action around the Fort Pierce Inlet. Use live baits and fish them on the bottom, bouncing them as you drift or free lining them when fishing around the rocks. The trout bite should be as good as it gets with the trout taking top water baits like a Zara Spook or a Top Dog Jr. at first light and just before dark. Try places like Bear Point, Pete Stone Creek or the area around the Mooring Flats. During the day, try a live shrimp fished under a popping cork or a D.O.A. shrimp and fish in three to five feet of water in those same areas. It is time for the snapper bite to really pick up along the channel edges, both to the north and south in the Intracoastal. A live shrimp on a 20-pound fluorocarbon leader and a #2 hook with a half-ounce weight should do the trick. The tripletail should also be showing up around the channel markers. Try your luck with a quarter-ounce troll-rite and a hand-picked shrimp. Remember, let the tripletail take the bait. They have a small mouth so don’t pull it away from them. You need to give them a little time to take the shrimp. Look for tarpon to arrive at places like the Fort Pierce Inlet, Turning Basin, Big Mud Creek and the Mooring Flats. Try free lining a live bait, like a mullet or a pilchard, with a 6/0 hook. Best times will be just around first light and again just before dark.
