South Indian River, Port St Lucie & Fort Pierce

Port St. Lucie - Saltwater Fishing Report

South Indian River Fishing Report

October 19, 2005

INSHORE:

Another week....another storm brewing out there. Looks like things

could get wet and windy once again. The water hasn't went down since

last storm and here comes more. Sure has been one wet season this

year. Last weekend was nice for fishing, but this week has had it's

ugly days of wind and rain. We will see what happens this weekend

though with Wilma contemplating heading this way.

Trout fishing has picked up this week and fishing early or late with

top water has been the best bet selection for trout. Pat caught and

released three nice slot size trout this week. Start in two to three

feet of water at first light. Hopefully you will be able to find

some clean water after the coming weekend. It might get a little

windy over the weekend around here. North of the bridges on the east

side has been good this week. South on the eastern side where you

can find clean water.

Night fishing for snook has been decent around the inlet, docks and

bridges. Early morning on the flats has been productive one day and

quiet the next. Live baits and jigs at night works best and top

water in early mornings on the flats will give you the best shot at a

snook. There is no lack of bait pods for the fish to feed off of.

Presentation is your most important opportunity this time of year.

Your lure or bait has to look much more enticing than all that bait

swimming around out there.

Redfish has been slow the past couple of weeks with all the dirty

water, but should improve once the water can have a chance to clear

up again. There are plenty of jacks and bluefish out there ripping

up the bait. A light rod will provide lots of fun on the flats. Pat

boated a 24" bluefish this week. Six year old Dominic had his hands

full reeling in a number of big jacks, but managed to get them all

boated. He did a great job fishing that day!

Tip of the Week:

Take some time and check out your hurricane preparations. We hope it

doesn't come this way, but don't wait until the last minute to get

ready. Gas lines have already been long and some stations running

out of gas already. Remember last year and don't get caught

unprepared. Let's all be safe and get through this together!

Have a safe weekend. Remember, fishing is not just another

hobby.....it's an ADVENTURE!

Good fishing and be safe,

Captain Charlie Conner
