Stuart / Jensen Beach inshore fishing should be good and the wind and water temperature will be dropping due to cold fronts pushing down, pretty typical for this time of year. This season change fires up the finicky species in the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River. Mullet will be getting chased around the Indian River by snook, trout, redfish, blues and Spanish macs. Either go with a live bait such as mullet, pinfish or live shrimp to target one of these species or, this is a good time of year to throw a big top-water plug on the flats. The fish’s metabolism has not slowed down yet and is feeding heavily before we get a really significant drop in water temperature. Bottom fishing will improve with black drum, sheepshead and croaker starting to show up. A knocker rig or jig head and live shrimp will do the trick. Snook fishing is good at night around the bridges using First Light jigs. Work the deeper cuts and shadow lines. Find a retrieve that keeps the jig right off the bottom and in the “snook zone”. Don’t forget the dock lights with live shrimp and swim baits for a snook holding tight to the docks. In the surf, pompano, blues and macs will be showing up in big numbers once we get into a couple good cold fronts. Sand fleas or Doc Goofy Jigs work well for the pompano, cut bait or a Kroc Spoon is best for blues and anything green and shiny for the macs. Keep the waterways clean and wear your Bullfrog.
