Trout fishing is always fun.




Taking a day off from fishing on Christmas weekend to shoot some Pheasants with Amy, and the dogs Chase and Boomer.

Winter species have invaded Stuart! Pompano, Jacks, Ladyfish and Spanish Mackeral are in full force and should only get better with this cold weather we are having.

If sea conditions are calm Pecks lake to the south of the St. Lucie inlet will hold an unbelievable amount of mackeral until march or early April.

Pompano and Ladyfish will flood the Indian River more and more with every cold front that passes. Bird Island, Pecks Lake on the inside, and Hells gate will produce fish.

Trout fishing during periods of warmer weather between front will be good as well with most fish better than average. Snook fishing at night on the dock lights will produce well during these same warm periods.

As we get closer to Febuary we will be watching for the Giant Jack Crevalle's to make a showing out on the beach. When we see the first schools of them, we know spring is near.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that the new year will be a good one. Feel free to call or stop by the Southern Angler anytime.
