Inshore:
Well, after getting quite a bit of much needed rain to the Treasure Coast, I had to add mowing the grass to my weekly list of things to do! At least, it looks like Florida again around here instead of a desert. Mornings have been fantastic for fishing. Calm to light winds make it comfortable and fun to be on the water. Get out early and you can be off the water before the afternoon rains move into the area.
Trout fishing continues to be good on the river. Top water, Deadly Combos, DOA shrimp and live baits have all proven to work well on trout. I had Gus, Mark, Andrew and Christopher on the boat. Andrew out fished everyone and even caught a nice keeper mangrove snapper to top off the day. Grandpa Gus did catch the largest trout of the day. Six year old Christopher caught his fish early and decided he wanted to be my mate for the day and helped me out a lot! We had a fun day out there.
Try Queen's Cove, Harbor Branch and down around the power lines for trout action. Fish along the docks for a chance of a snook or redfish. Some big fish have been patrolling those areas. Top water early followed by DOA shrimp or CAL jerk bait can help find success. The recent super low tides have waned as the recent full moon pulled up the water levels for now. The water has warmed up nicely and the fish are hungry.
Lots of anglers have been gearing up for the coming lobster season and you can expect lots of boats on the water as the season approaches. Many boats have begun pre-diving areas in anticipation of that first day of the season. We had going to spend a couple days with my buddy and his family and go scalloping on the gulf coast. It's lots of fun if you have never done it. Have fun this week on the Treasure Coast!
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

Inshore:
Summer weather patterns keep anglers watching the radar most days this month. Lots of much needed rain has greened up local yards and it looks like Florida again! Watch the weather as many afternoon thunderstorms have been into the area each day. We have had good weather when getting on the water early and heading back to the ramp at noontime. The morning have been very nice on the river.
Trout has continued to be our best bite. We had a couple days with the recent cold water influx that made it more challenging to find the bite, but we have continued to have good luck when trout fishing. DOA shrimp in the clear holographic has been outstanding on the flats. Mike and Lisa caught all of their fish on the shrimp. We have been fishing them slowly along the bottom and also jigging them under a popping cork. Both ways have been very productive. We again found trout with Cliff on a day that provided cold water and a challenge to find a good bite. Capt Pat Wells was down this week and we found the trout to be feeding along with lots of jacks that all devoured the DOA shrimp. We even landed a fat 36" snook hanging around the docks down south of Fort Pierce. The action is picking up and we should have another good fishing week ahead.
Its a great time of year to work a top water lure in the early morning. Trout have been feeding on the many bait schools around the river and working a top water lure can get some explosive action. Harbor Branch has been our most productive area up to the north. Bear Point and the many docks to the south have also provided us with lots of action.
Drink plenty of liquids and use lots of sunscreen to make sure the end of your day is just as much fun as the beginning! Have some fun and get out fishing soon!

South Indian River Fishing Report 7/4
July 4, 2011
Inshore:
As the rainy season settles in on the Treasure Coast, you can expect each day to provide an opportunity of rain and thunderstorms. Luckily, we managed to skirt all the weather this week to find some great fishing action along the Indian River. Morning will generally be calm and the weather systems will build in the early afternoons. Getting out early can give you lots of opportunities to get in some good fishing time.
I had the privilege to attend the DOA Outdoor Writers Event again this year. It was great to see old friends and make some new ones. I had Pete Barrett one day and John Irwin the next. We found the trout eager to bite on the DOA shrimp in various colors. The lighter colors worked best for us. Pete topped off his day with a nice tarpon on a DOA Terror Eyz. John and I landed four reds and numerous trout. We had lots of fun on the river!
The rest of the week also provided us with lots of trout action on the grass flats. Using a combination of DOA shrimp and live bait, we caught lots of trout this week. John and Paul landed some big trout on their day fishing the flats. The father and son teams of Brian & Clay, Mike & Shane and Wes & Chase all had fun on the trout flats. Clay, Shane and Chase all out fished their dads this week. We even found a few nice jacks to add to the fun on some days.
Most of the grass flats are holding good numbers of trout. We fished the majority of the week south of Fort Pierce to the power lines. The water that direction has remained remarkably clear with all the recent rains. Up to the north has been a little more on the murkier side, but we found trout biting as well. Get some fishing in soon!
