School’s still out and the weather is perfect for early and late in the day fishing adventures, so here are a few tips for kids and families who wish to experience the fun and excitement of fishing this summer.Capt. Rodney SmithJul 30th, 2015
Reef dwelling fish of all varieties will be the sought after saltwater targets this August, with many species of bottom loving, snapper and grouper, being at the top of the scaly collection list. Other pelagic species and "surface fish" like king mackerel and mahi will be attracted to these same reefs and will be caught by baits presented in the upper quadrant of the water column.Capt. Rocky CarbiaJul 30th, 2015
August's highlights are the lobster season, tarpon on the beach, a limited wahoo run, and a once in blue moon mahi run.Capt. Scott FawcettJul 30th, 2015
Tarpon are showing in the St. Lucie River and you can slow troll a live mullet or pitch a greenie around the inlets. On calm mornings, go ahead and run to the Boils with crabs for permit or tarpon.Capt. John YoungJul 30th, 2015
Trout and snapper will continue to be the best bite around the river. Top water lures, like the D.O.A. Airhead or Bait Buster, fished early, followed by a D.O.A. shrimp or C.A.L. jerk bait will be productive on the grass flats.Capt. Charlie ConnerJul 30th, 2015
The snapper bite has been good and should be consistently getting better. Mutton snapper and mangrove snapper are the big rod benders. These fish will be directly on the bottom around the reefs and structure.Capt. Danny MarkowskiJul 30th, 2015
In the morning, the trout and redfish bite will be at places like Bear Point, Midway Road area and at Harbor Branch. The bite should be red hot when using top water baits like a Zara Spook, Buz Walker or a MirroLure— all in the natural colorsCapt. Joe WardJul 30th, 2015
Watch for snappers to push in towards the beaches. We've had some great days on rocks in 45 feet and less this month. Scale your tackle way down, like you would if you were going after snook.Capt. Bill StewartJul 30th, 2015
The fishing in the Sebastian area in August can be some of the best of the year. The catch and release snook and redfish fishing at Sebastian Inlet are at their best in August. The crowds are light since the snook season is still closed until September 1st.Capt. Gus BruggerJul 30th, 2015
This is the best time to be a land based fisherman. Look for the bait schools along the beach and be the first there and you will have no problem catching some really big fish!Capt. Chris SharpJul 30th, 2015
