Good dolphin fishing should continue through this month and the next, with a shot at a wahoo every now and then while you’re offshore. Trolling is a good way to target these fish in the spring. Skirted ballyhoo, artificial lures and daisy chains work well for the mahi, while a split tail mullet, or ballyhoo rigged on wire and fished on a downrigger or a planner will be your ticket to success for the wahoo.Capt. Scott FawcettMar 23rd, 2015
More bait fish are in the river, which will result in hungry fish. In the St. Lucie River you can’t beat snook fishing around the Roosevelt Bridge with a D.O.A. Terror Eyz #304 or #416. Let the lure sink to the bottom and bounce it back really slow just off the bottom using the tide to swing the lure back towards the pilings. Capt. John YoungMar 23rd, 2015
Fort Pierce anglers dress casually and to suit the weather; shorts and tees on warm mornings and sweats and hoodies when Mother Nature is foul of mood. Almost all anglers wear ball caps; again, of all sizes, types, colours and logos. They share the jetty with the inevitable tourists gawking at the fancy boats coming and going from the Fort Pierce and Pelican Bay marinas located mere minutes upstream.Guest ColumnistMar 20th, 2015

Regardless of your personal definition of “gamefish”, it’s time to start treating every fish you catch with some respect. No more rough handling or intentionally spiteful releases (you know exactly what I’m talking about!) just because a fish isn’t on your favorites list or is the wrong size to take home. Use proper catch and release practices on bonefish and burrfish alikeFlorida Oceanographic SocietyMar 6th, 2015
Capt. Luke Maillis, Reel Addictive Charters, claims March is one of Long Island’s best fishing months. Bigger wahoo are seen this time of year, with 40- to 50-pounds being the average size.

Our Treasure Coast Casters February Senior Division Tournament, was held February 1, and what can I say but only the weather man can be wrong all the time and still be paid big money. The wind wasn’t too bad until the last hour of the tournament.Cammie and Capt. Joe WardMar 6th, 2015
Above the surface, divers should expect weather conditions to become increasingly more favorable as the frequent cold fronts of January and February begin to subside. More opportunities to head offshore should allow divers to catch the tail end of the yearly lemon shark migration and take advantage of the last few weeks of lobster season. Steve WoodMar 6th, 2015
