Stuart - Saltwater Fishing Report
Stuart Fl fishing for Cobia was solid for about 4 days from the 14-18th of Feb. We caught plenty of fish and some big ones up to 75lbs. The rays showed up and it was lock and load. Sailfishing remained consistent for a couple bites a day until the 19th.
A cold water up-welling bring sea surface temps down to 69* all the way out to 300ft has really but a stop to any and all pelagic fishing.
This up-welling should not last long judging from logbook history.
The good note is Bottom fishing has remained hot despite the cold water on the bottom. Plenty of Big Groupers, Big Snappers or multiple species, Triggers, Sea Bass and big AJ's are plentiful from 35ft to 220ft of St. Lucie Inlet.
Join the DayMaker for a day to remember.
Stuart Fishing Forecast:
we should see one last push of Sailfish as the water warms back up and the last fronts push through. Expect 1-2 bites a day with good days seeing 5 bites.
Cobia and Manta Rays should show back up in mass numbers when the water warms back up. Be ready every day you go with some gulfstream Cobia Slayers on your spinners.
East wind over the next 3-5 weeks and a warming trend in sea temps should bring us some Mahi's.
Target Species:
Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, Amberjacks, Sailfish, Dolphin
