Stuart Fishing Report 1-2011

Wintertime Action


Fishing during the Winter months on the Treasure Coast is more active than you might think.  The big fish, Tarpon, Snook and Jacks are less active but hard fighting schooling fish like Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Ladyfish and Pompano are around in large numbers.  If we can get to the fish, we can usually catch plenty.  All are great fighters and can generally be found in predictable locations.  Wind is the primary adversary as rain seldom interferes during winter months.

That’s not all.  Snook are around, of course, but most are less active and need some considerable effort to catch.  And don’t forget that season is closed until this fall.  If the water warms up, however, the Snook action will pick up as well.  Trout can be found on the flats and nearby troughs and holes when the sun gets high and winds are low.   Redfish are in the waters north of the power plant but not so much around Stuart.
