Large migrating tarpon, smoker kings, hard fighting little tunny, toothy barracuda, brawling cobia, colorful dolphin, and even sailfish are possible within small boat range of the inlet. The methods I most often imply include: slow trolling live greenies and mullet, trolling large plugs, casting baits and lures to breaking and cruising fish and bottom fishing the shallow reefs.Capt. Gus BruggerMay 28th, 2015
The Big-O has been producing some very good bass and pan fish fishing. Early morning spinner baits have been very good with catches up to 30 or 40 bass in the first couple of hours has been the norm, but once the sun comes up it’s time to try a different tactic. Shiner action is very good in The Pass, Eagle Bay, and Tin House Cove. Bluegills and shell crackers are moving in and spawning around the full and new moons.Capt. Eddie PerryMay 28th, 2015
Kingfish are back and will be here for the next few months. Kingfish are a great fish to bend a rod and make blistering fast runs. You can find them from the beach out to the ledge in 90 to 100 feet of water on the Treasure Coast. With the calmer conditions that we will be seeing through the summer, you can get to the kingfish in a smaller boat just off the beach. Capt. Danny MarkowskiMay 28th, 2015
The best inshore action should be from first light until about 9 a.m. and from 6 p.m. until dark. The snapper fishing should also be good around the bridges and the channel edges. Tarpon should be here in full force in the Fort Pierce Inlet, around the Moorings and around the Big Mud Creek area.Capt. Joe WardMay 28th, 2015
