FISHING: Great
October 19, 2006
Inshore:
The weather has cooperated most of the week, providing anglers with ample opportunities to get out fishing both the river and the ocean. Looks like warm weather will be here for now and looks like the weekend should be good for fishing! Reports around the river has been mixed this week, but there are plenty of fish being caught.
Trout was the best bite of the week on the river. Reports of trout from the power plant flats north to Queen's Cove, Round Island and Harbor Branch areas. Live shrimp works the best, but top water early and soft baits during the day can get you a bite. I have been using shad or shrimp tails mostly in root beer or the darker colors. Most we caught were in the slot range and we did manage to miss a couple of larger ones.
A few redfish are being caught in the same areas on live bait or soft plastics. Try top water early for some opportunities also. Largest one was 24" on the boat this week. It will be harder to find them schooled up this time of year. Lots of roamers out there now, so be patient to get a hookup. We had our best hits on a natural color shrimp tail. Live or cut bait is always a good way to entice a redfish into biting. Check around the edges of the flats or along the mangroves.
Snook has been mixed. Some still being caught around the inlet areas, but it has been spotty at best this week. Look for the next full moon to provide some good action out there. Look around the flats early with top water and soft baits along the mangroves later. Look for the deeper mangrove cuts for them.
There are some pompano in the river now. We boated a nice one this week, which found its way to the grill for dinner. Live shrimp or soft baits can give you a chance at one. Look for flounder around the sandy flats or around the inlet areas. There are still some being caught on live shrimp or soft baits. The surf continues to hold jacks, bluefish, tarpon and snook. Watch for the bait pods for the best opportunities. I drove up to Sebastian last week and it was loaded up on mullet all along the beach.
Tip of the Week:
Using leaders is pretty basically a must in saltwater. Lots of teeth out there to bite into things and you can lose a fish if not prepared. We all have our favorite brands, sizes and colors. Remember to check the condition of your leader often throughout the day. Fraying or nicks can be caused by fish, foul ups or just brushing up against something underwater. That small nick or fray could cost you that big fish when it hits. I re-tie leaders very often during the day to insure the best chance at landing a fish. Don't let the one that got away be due to something you could prevent. Hope you get that big one this week!
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

Ahhhh....fall weather has arrived. Mild mornings make it a fantastic way to spend a day on the water. The weather has cooperated very nicely this week and helped make the day very enjoyable on the water. We should continue with this great weather this next week! Expect the winds to arrive at any time during the day, but for now they have been just enough to take the edge off the heat of the day.
Catch of the Week!!

Eileen Anderson from Mass. caught and released this 28" (8 pound) gator trout this week.....
This week the trout bite has really improved. Look for clean water and bait to find some trout lurking around for an easy meal. Harbor Branch, Round Island and down by the Power Plant has been holding some slot size trout most of the week. Live shimp, pinfish or soft baits have work the best for us this week. The catch of the week surely went to Eileen Anderson from Mass. with her 8 pound, 28 inch gator trout. Congratulations to her for a great catch!
Snook fishing has been cooperative most of the week. Night fishing along the bridges, inlets and docks can give you a chance at a keeper linesider. Live baits are the first choice along with jigs and diving lures. Up on the flats, we caught mostly shorts, but there are some slot size hanging around the mangroves attacking the bait as it cruises by. The tides have been higher than normal, so you can fish a lot of areas that are usually too shallow.
We were off a bit on the redfish bite. Found several tailing and a number of singles on the flats, but they just didn't cooperate well this week. But next week......I will be after them again! Look for them to be hanging around the bait pods and running with the jacks and bluefish around the river.
Look for a lot of fish patrolling the beaches now. Snook, tarpon, bluefish and a host of others are chasing bait now. It's a great time of year for surffishing! Flounder have been all around the river. Lots of reports of them in different areas. Look for some flat sandy bottoms and fish them with live shrimp or soft baits. We have caught several on the flats this week.
Tip of the Week: You can see that the days are getting shorter and soon the time will change. Us early morning anglers must make sure our boat lights are in working order. If you go out prior to daylight, check your light and make sure they work properly. It's not only the law, but it is a must for safety on the water. I hit the water a lot of days by 5:30 am and I sure don't want to happen on a boat without lights. Keep the waters safe for us all!
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

Inshore:
Feels like fall has arrived here on the Treasure Coast. Mild temperatures have tamed the heat of summer for now. The winds have subsided for a few days, allowing for some great fishing weather this weekend. The water is still working on clearing up, but has improved over last week. The tides have been much higher this week, due to the full moon and an easterly wind to help. Many flats that are usually unapproachable were open to fishing. It should be a busy weekend on the water!

Josh Lukat can barely hold up his 30" (9 pound) redfish, while brother Kyle holds up his jack crevalle caught from the same school....
Snook fishing picked back up with the full moon. Night anglers were catching shorts and slot size snook around the usual haunts in the inlets. Live bait, jigs, Bombers and Rapalas were the most common baits used. Early morning fishing on the flats have provided snook hanging around the mangroves. You can hear them crashing bait as it cruises by them. We caught a number of shorts and lost a couple nice slot size snook this week. Top water, shallow runners and soft baits have been working best for us this week. It was easy to find mangrove cover this week due to the higher tides.

Josh holding up dad's 18" trout caught on the flats....
The redfish were out on the flats. It's been harder to find them most days with the winds blowing on the water. We found a school cruising along with jacks crashing bait. Josh Lukat battled a nice 30" (9 pound) redfish out of the school, while his brother, Kyle, was bending his rod on a nice jack crevalle at the same time. Shallow runners, soft baits and top water are the best options for catching a redfish this week. Round Island has been a great spot to seek out the redfish lately.

Flounder like this 21" flattie will be laying in wait for an easy meal....
Trout are becoming more active as the water temps slowly decline. Tom took home a nice 18" trout this week for dinner. Soft baits have worked for us this week. Look around Harbor Branch, Queen's Cove or south to the Power Plant for some clean water and trout.
We also boated a 24" flounder this week and missed another opportunity for another. Live shrimp or soft baits will get them off the bottom. Lots of jacks are blasting the bait out of the water. Bull sharks are still coming up on the flats in search of an easy meal! Snapper have continued to be caught in the channels and around structure. We should be seeing some bluefish in the river chasing bait soon.
Tip of the Week:
The Teen Anglers season has once again started here in the Treasure Coast. Today, I will be helping out the tournament for our newest members, the Jr. Teen Anglers. Teen Anglers are in need volunteers this year to help take the kids out fishing once a month for their tournaments. It only involves one Sunday a month to take the time to take a few kids out in your boat and share your knowledge of fishing with them. I am working on my fourth year with them and still looking forward to each months tournament. It's a great cause and the rewards of watch that child's smile when they catch a fish is enough! If you are interested in becoming involved, contact Captain Joe Ward at 772-201-5770 or go to www.teenanglers.org for more information.

Flatactics on the Treasure Coast....
While snook fishing is on most anglers minds these days, I am still out there in search of redfish on the flats. We have been fortunate to have a growing population of red drum around the Treasure Coast. It's great to see so many slot size fish in our area once again. I have been lucky enough over the last fifteen years to witness the increase of size and number of our redfish.
I break down fishing the flats into three aspects:
1. Learning the area you want to fish.
2. Reading the water.
3. Presentation of your lures
Most flats in our area will be the hangout for reds. It provides lots of fun and excitement for the anglers. Learning the flats takes time and patience, but will pay off with that first hook up on a top end slot fish. I watch anglers idle up on the flats, which will make most fish high tail it out of there. Stealth is one of the most important parts of the puzzle. Start fishing off the flats and slowly work your way up on them. You will be amazed that a lot of fish hang just off the edges.
Pick one flat and learn it well. You might be amazed at the different contours and variety along the area. Tidal cuts give fish many options to feed or find a retreat from danger. One part may be shallow and almost unfishable, while another part provides deeper areas that are accessible to fish and anglers. Spend some time and be patient. Learn the area you want to fish, then move on to another area to learn.
Tides also play a role in how to fish different areas. Naturally, high tides provide more areas to fish, while low tides limit access to many shallow parts of the flats. Learn where to fish on both tides. I find that low tides will many times congregate fish into deeper cuts, while they wait for the water to turn around. Once again, time and patience pays off.
Lures are so varied that you could write volumes about what to use and when to use it. Everyone has their favorites that they tend to use most of the time. I always try top water, soft baits, spoons and twitch baits. Don't be stubborn and not be willing to try something different. It's been proven, over and over again, that presentation is the most important part of lure fishing. Give two people the same lure and one will catch, while the other is mumbling sweet nothings under their breath. Don't give up on a lure till you have tried working it in different patterns first.
Learn to read the water. Most anglers will miss good fishing areas by not watching what is happening on the water. Redfish are lazy most of the time. A school will lie quietly on the bottom undisturbed unless you happen to work your way on top of them. The majority of times, you won't see them pushing water or tailing. One slight movement in the water could be a school of mullet or redfish. You just never quite know for sure. Work slowly and watch every movement on the water.
I've mentioned time and patience a number of times in this article. After over twenty-five years of fishing the Indian River, I still learn something new each time I get on the water. Our flats are great places to fish and learning how to fish them will give you hours of fun and excitement seeking out the reds in the area. The Treasure Coast is a great place to live and fish. Redfish are back and the fishing gets better each year!
Good Fishing,

October Inshore Fishing Forecast:
October is almost here on the Treasure Coast announcing the arrival of fall. The mullet run along the eastern Atlantic is in full swing now, bringing along many species that follow the schools of baitfish to feed. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, snook, tarpon and many others will be chasing bait from the beaches to the flats. It's a great time of year to fish the Indian River!
As the fall weather arrives, it gradually changes the wind patterns. Expect more windy days out there and chances of rain anytime during the day. Let's sure hope that we won't be dealing with any hurricanes this year!! Enough is enough!!!
Get out early for some great top water action in October. As the water temperatures gradually start cooling down, the trout and snook will be out early for brunch on the flats. They will head back off the flats as the sun warms up, so fish along the edges after the early bite. Redfish will continue to patrol the flats most of the day. Gold spoons, jerk baits and DOA shrimp will work great this time of year. Live bait is hard to pass up, so try shrimp or pinfish on popping corks.
The inlets and bridges will be holding snook, black drum and sheephead for those anglers. Live bait is always the best choice. Night time will offer snook on jigs, Bomber type lures and live bait. The docks and jetties are also great places for finding snook hangouts. You will find some anglers trolling around the inlet areas, while other will anchor in their favorite spots and drop bait. Last year provided great snook fishing in the area and it looks like this year should be just as good.
I will continue to fish the flats for reds throughout the fall. The past couple of years has been wonderful on the Fort Pierce flats for redfish. Schools of up to a hundred fish have been around the river and it has been lots of fun watching a good number of double hookups this year. We have been fortunate to see the redfish population on the rise in this area. Let's hope they continues to give us lots of fishing memories on the flats.
Tip of the Week!
Help keep our flat healthy! Please remember to not run up on them and leave prop scars that harm the grasses. If everyone works to keep them safe, the fishing will continue to improve each year. Let's not wait until they are dying to take action......
Remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!
Good Fishing!

September 7, 2006
INSHORE:
Fall nears us on the Treasure Coast and this week we were treated to the three W's......wind.....weather.... and water. With all the storms and rain this past week, the water quality went downhill for now. The river is murky and dirty and it will take a few days to get back to normal again. The fall mullet run will be upon us soon, so get prepared now. The action slowed somewhat this week, but next week will bring new opportunities!
There wasn't a lot of action on the flats with all the dirty water around. Most of the action reported came from those anglers seeking snook. A lot of shorts have been caught around the spillways and bridges with all the runoff coming through. There have been some slot sized snook have been taken this week. Along with live bait, Storm baits have been the most popular. Colors are dependent on who you ask. Look on the flats early as the water cleans up. The water temps have dropped some with the overcast sky, so watch for the trout and snook to head up on the shallows.
Fish along the edges of the flats if you are looking for redfish. Again, as the water clears up, look for them to head into the shallows to feed. This time of year, you might catch a few tailing in the early mornings. Top water, DOA shrimp, or gold spoons are great choices for baits. Got an email from Carol McKee who caught a nice slot size red around the Jensen Beach area recently.
Find clean water and look for the trout. Live shrimp or top water early will be a good bet for catching dinner. Look south of Fort Pierce for cleaner water for now. Hopefully, we will be back to normal by the weekend. Look down by the power plant area for now.
Snapper and sheephead have also been around the bridges and channel edges. Live shrimp are always great choices for them. As the mullet start their run along the coast, watch for great fishing along the beaches. Let's hope that our "storm" will be the only one we deal with this year! Bob Bergen and his fishing buddy boated a nice 40+ pound tarpon on live pinfish.
Tip of the Week:
I hope everyone took the time to check their licenses recently. I have met several anglers who didn't and were caught! Another today, told me they were checked and didn't have flares on their boat. Licenses and equipment are required by law. Don't take chances on either. The cost of running your boat legal is much less than the fines if you get caught....... It's just not worth the risk!
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

September Inshore Forecast
As the hint of fall approaches us here on the Treasure Coast, anglers are looking forward to a great September for fishing. With remembrances of the past several years of storms, we faced yet another one this week. Luckily, it only brought some winds and much needed rain to the area. I hope everyone weathered it safely.

Slot size snook will be the target this month!
The excitement along the east coast of Florida has reached is peak as the fall opening of Snook season opens on September 1st. Anglers
have been rewarded all summer with great snook fishing around the
Treasure Coast and have been chomping at the bit to bring home the
bacon. Make sure you have checked your license and snook stamp
before you head down to the river and make sure you are aware of the
new measurement system for total length in effect since July. The
inlets have been holding good numbers of snook all summer. Live
bait, red-tail hawks, Bombers or Rebels will be great choices around
the inlets. Look for the slower sides of the tides for the best
action to happen. Up on the flats and mangroves, try top water at
first light for a chance at a linesider hookup.
August proved to be a fantastic month along the Treasure Coast for
redfish. Schools of reds were cruising around the river all month.
September should continue to produce lots of slot sized reds for
anglers in search of the spot tails. Round Island, Queen's Cove and
the Power Plant flats have all held good amounts of reds so far this
year. Top water, gold spoons, twitch baits or soft baits have all
worked well throughout the summer. Keeping quiet on the flats is
critical to getting close enough have a chance at a hookup. Fish
will run for cover at the least disturbance.
Trout fishing will continue to improve as the water starts it's slow
cooling off as fall approaches the Indian River. Fish top water or
live baits in two to five feet of water on the grass flats. Look for
the flats that also have sand pockets scattered on the grass for the
best chances. Harbor Branch, Queen's Cove and Bear Point have all
the necessary ingredients for a successful day seeking some trout
action. Get out early for your best opportunity.
As the fall mullet run nears the Treasure Coast, look for the big
fish to patrol the beaches, inlets and flats for easy meals. Tarpon,
jacks, snook and sharks will all be chasing bait along with many
other predators following italong the coast. Live bait, spoons, top
water and most any diving lure should provoke a hit. Look for some
exciting action this time of year!
Remember....fishing is not just another hobby......it's an ADVENTURE!!

INSHORE: Snook Season Opens September 1st!!
Anticipation is growing along the east coast of Florida as the fall opening of snook season approaches. Lots of anglers are already out checking out their favorite spots or getting their gear rigged out for September 1st. It looks like it will be a busy opening night, so plan on lots of anglers out on the water. The tackle shops are stocking up on all the snook paraphernalia already. I spoke to Clint at the Fishing Center of St Lucie and they have lots of Hurricane jigs, Red Tail Hawks, DOA and other favorite snook lures in-stock for the season. Make sure you pack an extra pound of patience for that first couple of nights out there!
The redfish population was active for us again this past week. I had Stan and Joe on board and they doubled up twice on catches with another single red to cap off their adventure. All the fish ranged from 24 - 29 inches. Soft baits, top water and twitch baits were our best producers again. The flat edges around Round Island has still been holding reds most days. You have had to work to find them lately, but persistence has paid off for us.
Trout has been slow again for us, but we have been searching out redfish most of the time. Some reports of the flats south around Little Mud and the Power Plant of trout in the early mornings. Bob Bergen reported a nice tripletail catch along the channel markers to the south of Fort Pierce. Snapper still continue to hang along the channel edges and structure. Surf fishing slowed down with not many catches reported this week. A few flounder have been caught on the south side of the jetties and around the catwalks on live shrimp.
Tip of the Week:
There have been quite a few afternoon thunderstorms lately. Lightning isn't anything to take lightly. On Friday, we had just docked before a storm was approaching and was only off the boat a couple of minutes, when a bolt struck the mast of a sailboat only a hundred feet from us. When a storm is approaching, take the right steps to protect yourself and your passengers. Don't play chicken with lightning!

INSHORE:
Another week of summer on the Treasure Coast. Heat and humidity to keep you company on the water. It was a mixed week with a few days of slow fishing along with good days in between. Looks like next week will bring the same. Hope you had a chance to get out fishing.
Weekend fishing was good with redfish being number one on our catch list. Gary Graves was down from Melbourne and boated a nice slot size red, just before a storm front blew us off the water. Sunday the redfish school moved in again for another three boated. Lower tides have been best for the redfish fishing of late. Look for them to move across the flats on the edges. Gold spoons, DOA Shrimp and twitch baits have worked best for us. Top water at first light can also bribe one of them into a strike. Round Island and Queen's Cove are good bets to fish.....
Snook in the early mornings have been on the flats if you can get there with a top water lure. One to three feet of water on the flats or along the mangroves should hold some linesiders. DOA Shrimp and twitch baits also have produced some snook for us this week. Snook season is not far off and many are scouting the bridges and inlets ahead of time for their best opportunities on opening night.
Trout were slow for us this week. Early top water lures are your best chance for them. Harbor Branch and Round Island have clean water and the right bottom for trout to be patrolling this time of year. Live baits after first light will be your best choice of baits.
The bridges have been producing some sheephead and sand perch. Some snapper have also been hanging around there along with the channel edges. Live or dead shrimp should get you some action. Some bluefish are still on the river and we have caught several lately hanging around the redfish. I have spotted a few tarpon on the flats, but no takers of late. Little Mud is still holding tarpon in the deeper waters.
Tip of the Week:
Most boat ramps and most tackle shops have drop offs for used fishing line. It's amazing how much fishing line is discarded on the water. I see the mangroves looking like spider webs of fishing line entangled all through them. Please dispose of your old fishing line in the proper recycling bins. The fish and all the other anglers thank you!!
