Stuart Area Offshore and Inshore

It has been a very windy April and May has started out the same but we were still able to get a few trips in. Dolphin are being caught in decent numbers with some fish up to thirty five pounds in water from one hundred and twenty to three hundred feet. A few sails are also in the mix along with some cobia. We maxed out on vermillion snapper in seventy feet of water off of the Loran Tower along with lanes, triggerfish and porgy. Smoker King mackerel are also being caught in the same area. A few pompano are still being caught in the surf which is a bit unusual for May. Jacks, lady fish and an occasional bonefish are being caught on shrimp tipped jigs around the inlet. Snook season closes at the end of the month but they can be found around the bridges and docks on live baits and plastics. We are looking forward to calmer seas and the tarpon moving into the area.
