Fresh Spruce Bluff Preserve Fishing Reports

I took a mom and her 2 adult sons out fishing yesterday. We went out to the snapper hole 12miles NE of fort pierce inlet. The water temp was 81 degrees. Seas were 2 foot to start and we had a strong current needed to use 12 ounces of lead to hold bottom. We hit 3 spots in that area using my minkota I-Pilot to anchor us electronically. We caught a lot of grunts and a couple f trigger fish. I decided to move a couple of miles north. The current was significantly less and we were able to drop to 8 ounces of lead to hold bottom. Seas also flattened out as the day went one. In the end we had 6 nice size trigger fish, we released a nice size Reed snapper, and mom caught a Bonita on the bottom.

I took a couple out to the snapper hole yesterday. They mentioned they would love to catch large barracudas so I stopped at the rock pile en route to the snapper hole They caught some lane snappers there as well as a large barracuda from there we went to the north end of the snapper hole where they caught Black sea bass, vermilion snapper and trigger fish. On the way home we stopped at the rock pile again and caught and released 2 more barracudas Captain Mark Rosen
