Inshore:
Hot afternoons and thunderstorms is the norm for August. You can bet it will be warm out there. Plan some early mornings to fish so you can be home before the heat of the day beats down on the Treasure Coast.
We had some fun trips out on the river this past week. Christina, Raphael and their seven year old twins, Javier and Daniel, were out for some fun on the river. The boys caught out fished mom and dad catching quite a few trout and other species. They are great boys who love to fish. John, Eric and Mary were out for a fun day. Mary caught her first redfish on the first cast of the day. They went on to catch quite a few trout. John caught the largest trout of the day and Mary ended up her day with a big bluefish. We had a great time on the Indian River.
Trout continues to be a good bite on the grass flats. DOA shrimp, Deadly Combos and live baits have all produced trout around the river. We have found several redfish schools up on the flats. You have to be wary this time of year and keep the noise down to be successful. DOA shrimp or CAL grub tails will work to get them in the mood on most days. The snook fishing has been a little slower in recent days. Most of the fish I have heard about have been coming from the spillways the past week. A root beer Terror Eyz will work great when fishing those areas.
Snook season opens September 1st....finally! Take some time this month to check your equipment for snook fishing. Better be ready rather than wonder why you lost a big fish when the season begins. Make sure to check your fishing license. Do you need to purchase a snook permit? It's much cheaper than facing a fine! Have a fun and safe month on the river.
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!
Good Fishing and Be Safe,

South Indian River Fishing Report 7/17
July 17, 2011
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!
