Sebastian Inlet has historically been a great spot to find a double digit jack crevalle in March. These bruisers are a big hit with vacationing anglers because of their unrelenting fight and aggressive attitude toward a live bait or artificial lure. If the bluefish allow your baits to get down to the jacks, hang on for a memorable battle.Capt. Gus BruggerMar 5th, 2015
The snook action in the Turning Basin and the Fort Pierce Inlet will be good when using pinfish or pigfish and fish them on the bottom. The tide changes will be your best time to fish. Around the local bridges the snapper, black drum and sheepshead are all taking live shrimp, clams or a piece of cut bait.Capt. Joe WardMar 5th, 2015
Redfish will get more active this month and you can find some tailing on the flats in early mornings. Topwater, D.O.A. shrimp, C.A.L. grub tails or gold spoons are good choices for finding a spot tail on the flats. Don't forget to fish around the mangroves also. So far this winter, there has continued to be a good redfish population around the river and the fishing has been fantastic for them. I tend to like the east side of the river for redfish, but you can find them on the west side also. Capt. Charlie ConnerMar 5th, 2015
February has become my best inshore month for sea trout and redfish since the grass beds of the central Indian River Lagoon have diminished in recent years. Both trout and reds make their way into the shallow backwater bays in search of warmth and food in the latter part of the winter and early spring. Sight-fishing can be excellent in these areas where winds are blocked and waters stay clean. Pompano, bluefish, ladyfish and jacks are also targets for inshore anglers in February.Capt. Gus BruggerJan 28th, 2015
The trout bite picks up very nicely in February. 2014 proved to be the year of big trout in the Fort Pierce area. I anticipate that 2015 will be another big fish year around the area. CAL 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. Redfish can be found in shallow flats around mangroves and islands. Capt. Charlie ConnerJan 27th, 2015
Snook season opens February 1st and they should be hungry. Find the bait and you will find the fish or be patient and they will come. Try snooking around the Sewall’s Point dock lights with Storm Swimbait or D.O.A. Shrimp #368 under the lighted docks. Use the current to push the lures along the pilings and deep under the docks. Don’t play with these snook or they will break you off. Tight drags and minimum #60 leader. Work the dark, unlit areas too for snook hanging off the shadow line.Capt. John YoungJan 26th, 2015
