Capt Charlies Fish Tale charters report Fort Pierce - Port St Lucie - Vero Beach - Jensen Beach 10-10

Inshore:
Well, our good luck ran out on the weather this past week. The tropical wave that moved into the area brought lots of wind and rain throughout the Treasure Coast. We lost several days on the water due to the foul conditions. It has now passed and we are back to the usual fantastic fall weather again. Time to get back to fishing!
It will take some time to flush all the fresh water out of the river, but you should be able to find some good fishing around the area. The trout bite had been improving and you can still find them in the deeper edges of the flats. Deadly Combos, DOA shrimp or live bait on popping corks can find where the trout are hanging out on the flats. Snook action around the bridges and jetties should continue to be good for nighttime anglers using Terror Eyz, feather jigs and live bait. The inlet was pretty beat up with the wave action, but it should be calmed down enough to get back to fishing. Redfish are scattered around on the flats. It will take a bit of scouting to find their patterns again, but they are still around.
Bridges and docks are holding snapper, sheephead and a variety of other fish. It will be nice to be able to fish those spots again. We have even found some flounder and grouper around these areas recently. The flounder bite has been improving on the sand flats of the inlet and west shore to the south of Fort Pierce. Both CAL shad tails and live shrimp have worked well in getting hooked up on a flattie. The inlet has been full of jacks, bluefish and blue runners on the high end of the tides. It is great fun, especially for the kids!
You will find the water temperatures somewhat cooler than prior to the recent weather. The transition into fall weather continues on the Treasure Coast. It's a great time of year and even better now that the winds and rain have left us! Take some time and get out fishing.
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!
