Snook and Tarpon Bite

With calm seas we had the opportunity to target Spanish Mackerel along the beach. Normally these macs start showing up in the Stuart area in December but this year thses fish stayed just north of us in Fort Pierce and Vero Beach until mid February where a recent cold front did push them south. Mackerel were caught while casting glass minnow jigs. Someze nice sized sheepshead over 4lbs and a bonus flounder on the bottom.

Fished the Martucci party this morning group of 5. A nice mix of catch and release mutton snapper, ladyfish, jack crevelle along with croaker, sheepshead and pompano for the dinner table. These pompano are just starting to show up and will remain here thru April of next year. All fish today were caught with shrimp on trollrite jigs.

Snook season has opened up here on the Treasure Coast and will remain open thru December 14th. Regulations remain the same with one fish per person with a 28-32" slot. Snook and tripletail charters are up to 3 anglers with all other species targeted are good up to 6 people.
