Описание тура

Inshore: Mornings haven't been so bad this past week. Getting out early or late in the day can keep the worst of the heat away from you. Seems like around noon is when it starts getting hot and that's the time to get off the water. Water temperatures were in the mid eighties this week and the fish were cooperating nicely for us. The St Lucie River continues to have it's issues with water quality, but there are places to enjoy the fishing and avoid those troubles. Don, Art and Sherman were back again this month and we had an awesome day on the water. There are plenty of mutton snapper in the river even though we can't stretch them out to 18". They put up a nice fight anyway. Lots of lane and mangrove snapper as well. The guys caught plenty of snapper! Sherman caught one nice slot redfish and lost a bigger one while fishing docks along the river. They even added a nice sheepshead to finish off a good morning. Rick and Brody joined me with Brody's good friend Van. The boys caught lots and lots of fish and kept up with Rick all morning. Brody caught a nice mackerel and a 16" tripletail to top off his day. Van caught a nice sheepshead and mangrove snapper to add to the days catch. It was a nice morning to enjoy the fishing! There are still lots of snapper along the channel edges. Sheepshead are also hanging around most any structure. Redfish have been around docks along the river. DOA shrimp or live bait can help you hook up to a slot fish. The jetties have been good for snook, especially at night. Look for trout around Bear Point or Harbor Branch on the flats. Early morning top water lures or Deadly Combos have been good for sea trout. Mackerel, jacks and ladyfish have been coming in with the tides and are abundant in the channels. Make sure to stay hydrated and use lots of sunscreen this time of year. Watch the weather and avoid being caught in an afternoon thunderstorm. Remember, as always, fishing is not just another hobby……it’s an ADVENTURE! Good Fishing, Captain Charlie Conner

September Fishing Forecast
September Fishing Forecast
Август 30, 2020
September Fishing Forecast With COVID-19 still affecting the Treasure Coast, more people have turned to fishing to get out of the house. August was a super-hot month! September will continue to be warm, but the fishing is always exciting. It’s a great time of year to target tarpon, snook and redfish around the Treasure Coast. Lots of bait has arrived in the area and the predators are chasing it both in the river and on the beach. Water temperatures will continue to be warm. Temps have been in the upper 80’s lately. It is always best to fish early or late in the day. The fall mullet run begins this month and that will bring exciting action to the area. I love fishing in September! Fish the shallow water early. Look for redfish around docks and mangroves this month. They like the shade these areas offer, and you can get a nice redfish fishing live bait, DOA shrimp and CAL grub tails. The trout bite improved this year and you can find some nice fish around Bear Point, Harbor Branch or Round Island flats. Fish top water early and switch to DOA shrimp or CAL jerk baits as the sun warms up. Snook season opens again on September 1st. Live bait, DOA Terror Eyz and assorted other favorites used around jetties, bridges and sea walls can get you hooked up to that slot fish. Make sure you are prepared for the season and check your equipment. It’s always good to check your license and snook stamp, too. Fish the bait schools! It's easy to spot the bait this time of year. The fall mullet run is going on strong in September. If you do not find bait around your favorite fishing spot, you will most likely not find many fish there. Move around if you need to find active bait. Fish love this time of year and they are out there gorging themselves on the bait in anticipation of the coming winter months. Water temperatures will begin to mellow out and will get back to normal. It's a great time of year to be fishing! Remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE! Good Fishing and be Safe, Captain Charlie Conner **hidden content** **hidden content** **hidden content**

March Fishing Forecast
March Fishing Forecast
Март 1, 2020
South Indian River Fishing Forecast – March Inshore: The winds of March have arrived! Warmer weather means winter is over and spring conditions are just around the corner. Chances of rain are on the increase so watch the weather and plan your adventures carefully. Water temps will be on the rise this month and you can expect lots of exciting fishing action around the Treasure Coast this month. Look for redfish to be around mangroves and docks. A DOA shrimp is always a good choice for reds. Trout will be moving onto the shallow grass flats as the sun warms things up. Try a DOA Deadly Combo or live shrimp on a popping cork to locate trout. A DOA CAL will also work well this month. Sheepshead, drum and snapper will be along channel edges and docks and willing to take a live shrimp. Snook fishing will pick up around the inlets, bridges and docks. Live pilchards are a favorite bait in March. Mackerel, bluefish, jacks and many other predators will be coming in with the tides and feeding around the inlets and channels of the river. Small shiny lures work best for these fish. Pompano fishing has been good so far this year. Pompano are in the river and along the surf and willing to take a Doc’s Goofy Jig, shrimp or sand fleas. They usually can be found in channels and deeper parts of the flats in March. We have had great success on croakers the past few years. There will be nice sized fish in the river and along the beaches feeding with whiting. They are fun to catch and very good on the table! Winter wasn’t so bad even though we complain about it. Living in Florida spoils you! March is a good time to check equipment. Both fishing and the boat should be checked a few times a year to make sure everything is in good working order. Some of these windy days will provide a good chance to check rods, reels and safety gear for when good weather arrives. Have a great March and enjoy the fishing! As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!! Good Fishing and Be Safe, Captain Charlie Conner
