“While the winds continue to blow along the Treasure Coast, the fishing has been good when you can brave the conditions to get out on the water. We had a lot of fun out there this week and look forward to lots more this month. Expect more windy weather in the future and be careful when you do get out on the water,
“. He caught a lot of jack crevalle along with three redfish to top off a good day on the water.Terry Karas had a variety of fish, including jacks, ladyfish, speckled trout, redfish and a couple of nice pompano. Alex and enjoyed a day of big jacks along with a trout and redfish on another windy day on the water. Ray battled a 20 lb plus jack on light tackle for a long time before it finally broke her off near the boat,” “Don’t forget that speckled trout season is closed in the south region during November and December each year. Handle the trout carefully and release them unharmed. We have found most of our fish in four to six feet of water lately. The water temps have dropped and you need to move out to the deeper parts of the flats for success. Live baits, D.O.A. shrimp and topwater plugs have all worked well on a variety of fish this week. Try seawalls for some great fun with nice size jacks and other species that are feeding on the bait schools. Docks have been holding snapper, sheepshead, and redfish and snook for us,”
“Lots of areas that are usually fished, have been limited due to strong winds lately. Bear Point, Harbor Branch, and Round Island are all places that can be fished while avoiding the brunt of the wind. Since the water has cooled off, remember to slow your lures down. Fish will be slower to react as the water continues to cool down and the successful anglers will be the ones that have slowed down their retrieves the most,”
“The snook bite around the jetties and bridges has been better for night anglers this week. Live bait, D.O.A. Terror Eyz, and jigs have all been working. Lots of reports of black drum around the bridges have many anglers heading out to the catwalks to fish. We should have more sheepshead heading into the river soon as well. Pompano fishing will continue to improve around the river. The surf has just been too rough for most anglers to dare trying to fish the beach. While it is a great time of year to fish the river.
