Capt. Billy Black, Duchess Sportfishing, tells us “It’s tuna time. Slow down the wahoo troll, use smaller lures and more surface baits.”Treasure CoastApr 4th, 2016
Waiting until water gets south to store it is not a proper consideration. Sometimes it rains where you want to store the water. Having another and alternative location is prudent. Waiting until water gets a few miles away from the Everglades to clean it is not in the best interest of this natural wonder.Guest ColumnistApr 4th, 2016
We’re all frustrated with the continued discharges to our already troubled waterways, and we need to continue to push our state and federal officials to find a solution… and fast. But, we can’t turn our backs on local businesses while we fight. The Economic Council will continue to stand up for all businesses in Martin County – large and small—that are being adversely affected.Guest ColumnistApr 4th, 2016

Redfish and trout will become more active around the flats. They will be shallow early and gradually move to the edges of the flats as the sun get higher in the sky. Look to areas like Bear Point, Harbor Branch and Round Island for trout to be feeding on the flats.Capt. Charlie ConnerApr 4th, 2016
April is here and so will be the mahi. There will be a lot of fish caught in the 30- to 40-pound range and some upwards to the 50-pound range.Capt. Danny MarkowskiApr 4th, 2016
As the water warms up, the trout bite should be good at places like Bear Point, Round Island or the Midway Road area. Live pilchards will be your best choice and free line them using a 4/0 or 5/0 Kale hook and a 20- to 30-pound leader.Capt. Joe WardApr 4th, 2016
We've caught the biggest lane snappers ever for the last three months! If the wind lays down long enough for us to get out, we kill them. Not only lane snappers but mangrove snappers and some really nice muttons.Capt. Bill StewartApr 4th, 2016
Fishing on the Big-O has been about as good as it gets. Whether you are fishing for bass or specks (crappie for you folks from up north) it has been some of the best we have had all year.Capt. Eddie PerryApr 4th, 2016
