Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report

I took a group out to the snapper hole on Saturday we left early to so we could beat the rain in the weather forecast. We broke the inlet at 7:00 AM and headed to the south east corner of the area in 90 feet of water. The sea temperature was 79 degrees. There was some current but not a lot. The sky was mostly cloudy water was such a pretty color of blue with really good visibility. We were using cut squid and once we had a few grunts on board I used them for both live bait and cut bait. The fishing was kind a slow so we ended up making lots of moves by the end of the day we had a nice catch. We caught 3 different type of snappers Lane, Vermilion, and Yellow tail. We had a lot of trigger fish though most were less than 14'. We hooked up to a real nice barracuda, he took live bait. We also hooked up a large Jack crevalle. When I cleaned the barracuda he had 2 filleted grunts in his belly. Around 1:30 I saw the weather starting to change and at 1:45 I saw a storm form south of us I used my radar to determine it was headed in our direction so we called it a day and got in before the storm
