Florida is the pilot state to use Fishbrain technology to help land managers better understand the extent and impact of nonnative aquatic species. Following the Florida campaign, Fishbrain and the Service hope to build on the pilot project in other areas of the country through partnerships with state conservation organizations.Treasure CoastJan 31st, 2017
Kite fishing is widely recognized in South Florida and the Florida Keys as the most effective and efficient way to target sailfish. Although the Gulf Stream current does not cut as close to shore on the Treasure Coast, kite fishing is still extremely effective.Treasure CoastJan 31st, 2017
Snook season opens February 1 and all the signs indicate it'll be a good season. The Fort Pierce Inlet and area bridges will be the places to be.Capt. Joe WardJan 31st, 2017
February means some hot river fishing. Target the trout; you’ll get lots of numbers. Fish the east side or west of the Indian River. You will find them near docks, on the flats and up close.Capt. Chris SharpJan 30th, 2017
Big sheepshead, black drum and croaker will be on the inshore reefs, rocky rubble in the river, docks and bridges. Live or dead shrimp on a jig head is the best method to catch these fish.Capt. John YoungJan 30th, 2017
Expect good mahi fishing this February and along with sailfish, blackfin tuna and a good possibility of seeing some manta rays with cobia following behind them. Your best chance at the sails would be trolling or live baiting with light line, leader, and circle hooks in 120- to 200-feet of water while the dolphin frequent areas there and usually a little deeper this time of year.Capt. Scott FawcettJan 30th, 2017
Schools of cobia will continue to stream through our reef zones in depths of 50 to 100 feet and will fall to dead and live baits deployed atop reefs, at all depths throughout the water column. Live baits such as grunts, greenies and sardines are some of a cobia`s favorite snacks, however a hungry “cobe” will eat just about anything it can fit in its expansive mouthCapt.

The trout bite picks up very nicely in February. 2016 proved to be the year of big trout in the Fort Pierce area. I anticipate that 2017 will be another big fish year around the area. C.A.L. jerk baits and Deadly Combos are exciting ways to trout fish with artificial lures, while live shrimp on popping corks are the ol’ standard way to trout fish out on the river.Capt. Charlie ConnerJan 30th, 2017
Snapper will be on the catch list for February and many varieties will be around reefs, wrecks and structures. Look for them in water depths from 10 feet to 125 feet and farther. Capt. Danny MarkowskiJan 30th, 2017
