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.

The inshore river fishing is hot right now. With plenty of snook, trout, pompano, jack and redfish to be had around the area docks and flats. There's also a lot of tarpon roaming around the lagoon as well. Todd and his wife Shelia booked a half day inshore and stayed busy all day with all the above species caught. Jumped a 80lb tarpon as well. Book a trip and enjoy some salty groceries

The Mullet Run Is On Fire! Want to catch fish and have a fishing adventure? The annual mullet run has been spectacular — the water’s alive and the bite’s nonstop. Tarpon are rolling, snook are smashing bait, and even the mackerel and jacks are getting in on the action. Temps have cooled into the upper 80s, and the fish are feeding heavy — it’s prime time on the St. Lucie and Indian River Lagoon. We’re seeing mullet of all sizes, threadfin, bunker, pilchards, glass minnows, and pinfish getting crushed daily. If you’re looking to have some fun, bend some rods, and make a few memories before the run slows down — now’s the time. Message me or call to lock in your trip — spots go quick once the tarpon show up in numbers. Go Fish Stuart — Where every cast could be the one you never forget.

The last 2 trips with smaller groups aboard we had the opportunity to fish livebaits using a combination of croaker and greenies. Some snook and a nice tarpon release. Also fishing with shrimp we are still catching some croaker and snappers.
