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!
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!
Good Fishing and Be Safe,

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!
