Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report
I took a charter out bottom fishing seas were a nice and got better as the day went one. We started at the 60 foot reef 6.5 miles north east of the Fort Pierce Inlet. The sea temperature at the inlet was 68 degrees, but as we traveled off shore it warmed up at the 60 foot reef the water was 71 degrees with nice water clarity at the 80 foot reef the water was 72 degrees. We hit four spots on the 60 foot reef and caught fish at all four spots. From there we headed out to the south end of the snapper hole 12 miles north east of the inlet. I hit 4 spots there as well from 80 to 90 feet all four of those spots had fish as well By the end of the day we had a nice catch of Lane snappers the largest hitting 17" with several in the 15" to 16" range, a lot of vermilion snappers which were all short 8" to 10", several trigger fish all short most were 12" to 13", a half dozen white boned porgies all very nice size, a barracuda that was 42" long and a King mackerel that was 35" long.
