Bottom Fishing Heats Up off Stuart

Capt. Nick Cremasco
May 15, 2013
Stuart - Saltwater Fishing Report

May 11:

We cancelled our tuna fishing charter today at 3a.m. because of bad weather. High seas and lightning storms plagued the Tuna grounds. We live to fish another day...

May 12:

Today we fished with John and his family for a full day Stuart Fl fishing charter. We started the day trolling for dolphin and sailfish. Fishing was difficult but we saw a couple free jumping sails and knew we were in a decent area. After catching a couple bonito and missing a king bite we hooked and landed the first sailfish of 9yr Luke's fishing career. We tried some bottom fishing but it was very poor catching only 1 short Gag Grouper. We ended the day inshore looking for some Cobia but no Love today.

Today we fished a charity trip with Dave and his buddies from Ft. Lauderdale. Dolphin fishing continues to be very slow for this time of year but with the passing front I would expect some odd results with the Westerly winds. However, the bottom fishing seems to have finally taken an upward tick after last week's ground swell. We ended up catching 7 Amberjack from 25-50lbs keeping a limit of 4. We also caught 7 Grouper keeping 6. We kept 3 Gags from 12-18lbs, a 12lbs Red, and a couple of Scamps to 6lbs. We caught 1 small dolphin trolling and 4 bonito.

Hopefully the dolphin fishing will improve with the ENE forecast for tomorrow. And it looks like the Bottom fishing is getting better. Hope that continues.

Today we fished with Derek and Bob from South Carolina on our Jensen Beach Fishing charter. Hopes were for the trolling to get a little better on the backside of the front with the ENE wind. Before we had the full spread out we caught our first fish. A bonito for bottom bait. We trolled around for a while with minimal success. We transitioned back and forth from bottom fishing to trolling 7 times today. We caught a limit of Gag Grouper, a couple Jacks, Snapper to 15lbs and a 12lb mahi.
