Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report
I had two sisters from Boston on the boat Sunday, they had a great day at the snapper hole, 12 miles NE of Fort Pierce inlet. The water was 80 degrees, not as clear as it has been. The wind was out if the west with a light sea current. The seas were right at two feet about with a 5 second period. The tide when we left was exceptionally high and still flooding. My I-Pilot trolling motor had no problem holding us on point. There were a lot of grunts and small vermilion snapper. I did catch a Lane snapper measuring at 16" and one of the ladies on the charter caught a Lane snapper measuring just over 14" I also caught a trigger fish what was just over 16. We had fish on all day. When we were finished we had a yellow tail snapper in the cooler, 8 Lane snapper and a trigger fish. We also caught and released several just short trigger fish and around a dozen vermilion snapper that were just short. We were using chicken rigs with 3/0 hooks. For bait we were using a combination of sardines, cut squid, and grunts we cut up. The big Lane snapper took an entire grunt fillet
