South Indian River Fishing Report 11/28

Inshore:

Nice weather continues along the Treasure Coast this week. Temperatures have become milder and the water temps are in the mid 70's this week. Winter fishing should prove to be an awesome bite this year. Some of the winter fish have already started to arrive to the area. It can be challenging with the weather, but productive if you use it to your advantage. Look for some windy days ahead and enjoy the fishing this winter!

The black drum have been coming in strong and bite has been good for us most days. Nolan had a good day with his dad and they landed 12 drum that were all in the slot size. We ended up with a few sheepshead, one nice triggerfish, a big mackerel and lots of snapper to finish off a good day on the water. All fish were released this week. We lost several good fish that broke us off or threw the hook. Most of our fish have come from channel edges and docks this week. Look for redfish around docks as well this time of year. Snook fishing has been good mostly at night. Pompano will be showing up soon and anglers will be happy about that. The mackerel have been coming in with the tides and been decent sized lately. You can find jacks and ladyfish in many places. There have been whiting in the surf this week. Perfect for the kids!

As winter sets in and we get the weekly cold fronts, make sure you are changing your fishing habits to fit the conditions. Water temperature will help show you where you might fish. A couple degrees in temperature can mean the difference having a successful day. Wintertime fishing is very good in our area, but you must watch the conditions and plan your fishing carefully. Good luck in December.

As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

South Indian River Fishing Report 11/15

Inshore:

The weather has been fantastic this past week. Temperatures in the mid eighties and winds that are very cooperative to fishing inshore. Water temps in the mid to high seventies have really improved the fishing around the area. ;Expect similar conditions in the near future as winter establishes itself on the Treasure Coast. It has been another exciting week on the water.

We have enjoyed a good variety of fish this week. Snapper have been the most prevalent fish out there. Sheepshead and drum are moving into the river now and that is good news. Pompano and mackerel are also coming into the river. Winter fishing is always productive and exciting for anglers! Pete and Peter, Jr. were out with me n a nice morning. First cast was a nice pompano. They found some nice croakers and snapper to add to the days catch. Good morning for the guys! Jerry and Lindy joined me on another nice day. They found redfish, drum, sheepshead and snapper to make for a busy morning along with the usual other species. Bob was back with the baseball guys from PA. We had two boats full and it was another beautiful morning. The guys caught lots of fish. We started out playing with the ladyfish to get warmed up and moved on to snapper, sheepshead, jacks and drum and many others. Don, Art and Sherman had a nice morning to fish. The day was mostly snapper, jacks and sheepshead. All three of them got broke off by redfish or drum on the docks. Art landed a nice tripletail that was just short of the keeper. It was an awesome week of fishing.

Snook have been good at night around the jetties and bridges. Snapper are everywhere and some decent sizes to them. Redfish have been under docks along with drum and sheepshead. Fishing will continue to improve as the water temperatures fall and more of the winter fish arrive to the area. It should be a great November and December this year!

As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

South Indian River Fishing Report 11/5

Inshore:

Fall weather has finally arrived on the Treasure Coast and it has been nice to enjoy the cooler nights for a change. It has been a hot summer and it is a welcome change! Water temperatures have dropped into the mid seventies and the fish have been biting pretty well for us. The rains have pretty much stopped now and things are drying out fast. Enjoy your November fishing!

I had a chance to take my wife, Eva, out one morning recently. She has been volunteering at church and has been too busy to relax. It was nice to get her out to enjoy a morning on the river. We fished some of the docks in the river and found snapper, jacks and black drum biting. We scouted some places and enjoyed a nice boat ride to end a good morning. Peter and Peter, Jr. joined me on a beautiful morning. We fished docks, channel marker and deep cuts around the river. Pete, Jr. caught a nice pompano early in the day and we found lots of snapper biting around the river. Fishing deeper cuts was good as they found big croakers there and caught enough fish for a good dinner that night. It was a nice week on the water.

Snapper are still plentiful around the docks, channels and bridges of the river. Croakers have been in deeper water for us. Black drum and sheepshead can be found around docks right now. Look for redfish to be hanging around mangroves and docks this time of year. Snook fishing has been good at night or early mornings around bridges and inlets. The Spanish mackerel have been coming in with the tides this week. It's a great time of year to enjoy the water.

As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!
