Tarpon fishing will be hot along the beaches. Seeing a 100-pound fish jump out of the water is a sight to see. Look for the pods of bait and fish just outside of the school of bait. Make sure you have the right gear for them these fish are big.Capt. Chris SharpOct 1st, 2015
Baitfish will begin to arrive in the near coastal zone this month. Vermilion snapper will be a top target species and continue to congregate in large schools during the final phase of their spawning period.Capt. Rocky CarbiaOct 1st, 2015
After experiencing what I would consider the best August and September of dolphin and sail fishing I've seen in over 30 years of living here, I expect October to be even better.Capt. Scott FawcettOct 1st, 2015
The morning bite has been best, but if you can get on the lake late in the afternoon without getting run off by a thunderstorm, it can be just as productive. Shiner fishing has been steady with catches on half day trips up to 40 bass a morning, with a few fish up to the 8-pound range.Capt. Eddie PerryOct 1st, 2015
October is my favorite month for fishing the Treasure Coast due to the abundance of bait in the Indian and St. Lucie River. In the surf there will be acres of mullet in tight schools getting pounded by sharks, tarpon, snook, jacks and early arrivals of blues and mackerel.Capt. John YoungOct 1st, 2015
The tarpon bite will be on, so get ready for a fight of a lifetime. These fish will be from the beach outward to a mile or two off the beach. Big tarpon are very strong fighters so you will need to use some heavier gear.Capt. Danny MarkowskiOct 1st, 2015
Snook fishing should also be good for anglers fishing the deeper holes around and in the Fort Pierce inlet, the turning basin and also the bridges. A mullet, pinfish, pigfish or a croaker will be the baits of choice.Capt. Joe WardOct 1st, 2015
Historically, as fall gets under way, diving in October is great provided an eye is kept on the weather. Cold fronts have a tendency to shake up local waters making lobsters walk and rearranging fish on local reefs leading to great opportunities to see some action offshore.Steve WoodOct 1st, 2015
