Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report

We went to my favorite spot out of Fort Pierce inlet north east just short of the snapper hole. Water was really clear seas were a bit larger than the forecast of one to two feet it was closer to three feet, probably due to wing opposite current. My Minkota trolling more was able to keep us on point though it was working hard. We were using 5 and 6 once sinkers to hold bottom. After we caught a few smaller grunts we put a grunt alive on top on a float and a grunt on the bottom alive.We caught a nice dolphin on the top line we got that boated it measured out at 38" we were getting a lot of grunts and small vermilion snappers so I decided to make a short move to another spot I marked but hadn't fished. This spot was 850 feet north east of our present location. As soon at the lines hit bottom we had a nice fish on a Queen trigger, first one I've seen a few years here. While on that spot we caught a lot more snappers mostly shorts and some nice trigger fish. The clouds were starting to build and the crew getting tired so we called it a day and headed back. Our timing was perfect we finished cleaning the fish as the first rain drops started falling
