Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report

I did a trip down to Jupiter inlet hopping to catch some yellow tail snappers. We broke the inlet about 8:30 it was sunny with a 10 knot SE wind. The seas were once again not as predicted. The forecast was 2 feet or less with a 9 second period. The seas were closer to 2 to 3 feet with a few higher waves in the mix and about a 4 second period. It was definitely fishable just ran slightly slower. There was an 11% moon heading toward the new moon. The current in the Jupiter area typically runs over 2 knots yesterday is was under a knot, we were able to fish on the anchor with 6 to 8 OZ of lead. I deployed our special chum delivery system and we did catch a lot of yellow tail snapper but they were mostly just short we did bring home a few nice ones. There were plenty of trigger fish as well we caught plenty that were short but still managed to put a nice catch of legal size triggers in the boat along with a real nice queen trigger. There were also a lot of very large grunts caught. The water clarity was amazing on the reef. When we returned there was outgoing tide and the water pouring out of the inlet was the same crappy looking water we get in Fort Pierce. No clarity at all in the out going water.

Target Species:

Yellow tail snapper, Trigger fish
