Firstly, there’s the diverse Indian River Lagoon. Secondly, there’s the maze of reefs and wrecks located right off the coastline. And thirdly, slightly further ashore, there’s the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Yep, it’s easy to see why Fort Pierce fishing charters are in high demand! Step aboard, and come explore the world of angling opportunities on offer.
The Indian River Lagoon is an unmissable inshore option for novice and hardcore anglers alike. Spotted Seatrout, Snook, and Redfish can all be found here, as well as some snapshot-worthy scenery. Fort Pierce’s sandy beaches also provide plenty of nooks and crannies that are home to Tarpon, Trout, and Snook. Captains generally offer four-, six-, and eight-hour trips, so simply choose how much time you want to spend on the water!
If the main aim of your trip is to hook some tasty table fare, travel up to nine miles out onto the Atlantic. You’ll be greeted with a variety of reefs and wrecks, home to delicious Grouper and Snapper species. You can also opt to troll for King Mackerel and Cobia. A six- or eight-hour trip will give you plenty of time to explore these waters.
Want to head even further ashore? The rich waters of the Atlantic’s Gulf Stream await! Located between 20–40 miles from Fort Pierce, this is where you’ll find those famous “big name” Floridian fish – Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Tuna. It’ll take up to an hour for you to start casting a line for your prey, so opt for six or more hours on the water. An eight-hour trip will allow plenty of fish-chasing time!
