Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report

I took a charter out to my favorite spot at the snapper hole 12 nautical miles north east of Fort Pierce Inlet. The spot rises from 80 feet depth to 75 feet of water. The sea temperature was 79 degrees, the water clarity was very clear approximately 30 feet visibility. Winds were out of the south east at about 10 knots. We had a nice bite of yellow tail and vermilion snappers along with lots of grunts. We were using cute squid and cut grunt filets. The vermilions were all short at around 11" the yellow tails were a mix of keepers and shorts. The action dies down so I went to another spot 285 feet east. It's a place I had caught a lot of trigger fish in the past. We started catching some real nice trigger fish including a queen trigger and along with yellow tail snapper. We had 9 triggers well over 14 including 3 that were almost 17". There were plenty of shirt triggers as well. We ended up with 8 yellow tail snapper in the box as well. We had one yellow tail get hit on the way up, not sure what hit it but it had teeth marks on it. I also caught and released a nice cobia measuring at 28" We also caught a white boned porgy.
