What's not to like about May? The opening of grouper season will definitely be one of the highlights, but tales of monster mahi, great cobia fishing, a steady permit bite, yellowfin tuna and even the occasional blue marlin, will all be topics of discussion at the fillet table this month. With the exception of big numbers of sails, May is your month. Capt. Scott FawcettApr 27th, 2015
This month snook will be moving to the inlets and near shore reefs in big numbers getting ready for the summer spawn. We have seen big snook running the mangrove and channel edges near the St. Lucie Inlet with the smaller males right behind them. Most of the snook are over 32 inches so nailing a keeper is tough. If, you want aggressive top water hits, this is the time to throw your Zara Spook, Skitterwalk or D.O.A. Bait Busters at first light near mangrove points, under docks, potholes in the grassflats and other snooky haunts. Capt. John YoungApr 27th, 2015
