Snook, tarpon, redfish and trout will all be cooperating this month. Matching the hatch will be your best bet during this time. Look to find the mahi and tuna show back up closer to shore. The peacock bass and clown knife fishing will really be taking off in the coming months. Brian NelliOct 6th, 2020
There should also be some good snapper fishing around mangrove shorelines with some deep water nearby. These fish will prefer a live shrimp or small bait fish on a 1/0 circle hook with 20-pound leader. Flounder will also be on the menu.Jayson ArmanOct 5th, 2020
The fall and winter have always been the best chance for catching redfish in the Stuart inshore area, usually while snook fishing around the bridges, docks, and mangroves using live pilchards, shrimp, and D.O.A. C.A.L. Jigs. Keep an eye on the water temps and the fall bite should kick-off when the water temps drop down into the 70s.Giles MurphyOct 5th, 2020
King and Spanish mackerel along with other top water species can be found in better numbers fishing off of Stuart, FL in October as they circle up schools of live bait along current edges, temperature contours, and over top of reef structures.Capt. Rocky CarbiaOct 5th, 2020
There are tarpon, snook, jacks and even kings, cobia and sails along the beach in October. With every cold front expect offshore fishing to get better and better. With water temps pushing 90-degrees last month, fish started to look for cooler water, but they didn’t go far and sails, mahi, blackfin and wahoo will make more of a showing this month.Capt. Scott FawcettOct 5th, 2020
The cooler water will trigger Lake Okeechobee’s many bass to go on a feeding spree, gorging themselves on shad, shiners and whatever else they can track down.Nathan ShellenOct 5th, 2020
Fishing offshore Fort Pierce in October brings king mackerel in action with their ferocious strike. pelagic predators will be on the move, and the snappers will be hiding on the reefs.Treasure CoastOct 5th, 2020
