What to Expect on the Water

Kick off your day bright and early as we load up the boat with all the gear you'll need. We'll cruise through the picturesque waterways of Fort Pierce, pointing out local wildlife and sharing insider tips along the way. The Indian River Lagoon is a fisherman's playground, teeming with snook, tarpon, and more.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we'll use a mix of live bait and artificial lures to target our inshore species. We'll show you how to work a topwater plug for explosive strikes, or finesse a soft plastic along the bottom for those sneaky snapper. Sight fishing is a real treat here, especially for tarpon rolling on the surface. We'll teach you how to read the water, spot fish movement, and make that perfect cast. Our gear is top-notch, with light tackle setups that give you the best feel for the bite and the most fun during the fight.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook are the rockstars of Fort Pierce inshore fishing. These hard-fighting linesiders love to hang around structure and will test your skills with their powerful runs. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, but they're around all year. Expect fish in the 5-15 pound range, with the chance at a real monster.

Grey Snapper, also known as mangrove snapper, are the perfect target for anglers of all skill levels. These tasty fish school up around docks and bridges, offering fast action and delicious fillets. They're most active in the warmer months and respond well to live bait or small jigs.

Tarpon, the "Silver King," is the ultimate game fish. These prehistoric powerhouses can top 100 pounds and put on aerial displays that'll leave you speechless. Late spring through summer is the best time to tangle with these giants. Landing one is a true badge of honor for any angler.

Sheepshead are the striped bandits of the inshore waters. With their distinctive black and white coloration and sheep-like teeth, they're a unique catch. These structure-loving fish are masters at stealing bait, but when you hook one, you're in for a stubborn fight. Winter is prime time for sheepshead.

Ladyfish might not be the biggest, but they're pound-for-pound one of the most exciting fish to catch. Often called the "poor man's tarpon," these acrobatic fish will jump and tailwalk across the water. They're great fun on light tackle and perfect for anglers looking for non-stop action.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Fort Pierce isn't just another fishing spot – it's a slice of Old Florida that keeps anglers coming back year after year.

Top Catches This Season

This year has been red hot for inshore fishing in Fort Pierce. We've been seeing some monster snook hanging around the bridges, with several fish pushing the 40-inch mark. The tarpon migration has been spectacular, with schools of 100+ pounders rolling through the inlet. And let's not forget about the bull redfish that have been crushing baits on the flats – we've had several days where everyone on board landed their personal best.
