Inshore:
Summer weather has certainly arrived. We did have some windy days this past week, but the temperatures are definitely on the warm side. A little breeze is always welcome on those warm days! Plan on early mornings or late evenings for your best fishing chances.
This week I enjoyed some super company on the water. Gaylen and Matt caught trout, an oversize redfish and a variety of other fish. Ron, Mike and Timberly found mostly trout with a redfish in the mix. John and Johanna had fun on the trout flats. John, Tim and Larry also found mostly trout on their day. Larry out fished everyone on his first fishing trip. Rick and Roy caught a variety of fish with trout being the top catch of the day.
Trout has continued to be the best bite on the river. Most of our fish have come in two to five feet of water and a lot of times they have been found just on the edges of the grass flats. DOA shrimp and CAL jerk baits have proven to be successful on the trout. If you are using live bait, get out the fish trap and catch some pigfish this time of year. They will give you a much better chance on the trout than even shrimp. Fish them under a popping cork for best results. Johanna caught the largest trout of the week with her 26" fat gator trout. Queen's Cove, Harbor Branch and the west shoreline on the south side of Fort Pierce have all been productive for trout.
We did manage a few redfish earlier in the week. You can find some hanging under docks or out on the flats. We had several break offs under some of the docks. Lots of snook are holding under the deeper docks, but can present a challenge in getting them out from under the maze of pilings. There are still plenty of sheephead in the river along with mangrove snapper. Check under docks or around the bridges for some of these tasty characters. It's a great time of year to be fishing the Treasure Coast!
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

South Indian River Fishing Report 6/5
June 5, 2011
Inshore:
We enjoyed a long weekend vacation last week with our five year old granddaughter, Chloe, and good friends, Pat, Kara, Dalton and Ethan Wells down in the Florida Keys. The weather kept us from enjoying the fishing, but we had a nice relaxing time enjoying the sights and sounds of the Keys. We had only one short chance to fish and decided to catch some dinner around the Bahia Honda bridge just before the winds set back in to make it difficult to try and be on the water. Ethan, Dalton and Chloe enjoyed fishing around our cabin for grunts and snapper to have some fun with. It was a fun trip for everyone!
If you can't fish for tarpon....then at least go to Robbie's in Islamorada and feed them. Again the kids had a wonderful time with the big fish that inhabit the marina there. A trip to Key West with Grandma and Chloe led us to the Key West Aquarium. Chloe had lots of fun around the many species they have there. She even got to touch a sand shark. Itr was a nice to get away and spend some good times with our friends.
Back to work tomorrow in search of the fish around Fort Pierce. The trout should continue to be biting in the early mornings on the flats. Getting out early can make your trip much more successful. As the sun warms up the flats each day, you will find the trout moving into deeper water. Fish the bait schools. Lots of glass minnows are in the river and fishing the edges of the bait can be very productive. Try a DOA shrimp fished very slowly and you should have good results. Redfish don't mind the warmer water and you should be able to find them throughout the day.
Fishing docks this month can be very productive for many species. Snook, jacks, redfish and others will be hanging under the docks for an easy meal. A DOA shrimp or TerrorEyz can find some nice sized fish under some of the docks. It's a great time of year to fish the Indian River!
