With the given economy. I've got to say people are still down this year and willing to fish. I have stayed fairly busy so far this year, not as busy as some, but better than most. Spring is in the air and I really get jazzed up to fish and guide this time of year. The big Jacks and Cobia start showing on the beach, soon after that the Tarpon and permit and then you move into full blown Summer and the Snook fishing is off the hook, not to mention the Little Tunny and the rest of the offshore species that us inshore guides catch in the Summer...It's a great time of year to fish Stuart Florida. Yesterday I fished with Jerry Nergo from Boston Mass. Jerry was just looking to get out and bend a fly rod which is what we tried for, unfortunately we had one of those super windy late February days and the fishing was tough. We did manage some Ladyfish and Jerry managed to hook a big Snook in the south Fork of the St Lucie but the fish didn't stay hooked long. After checking a few spots that baby Tarpon tend to hold in the winter with no luck we called it a day and headed to the dock, again thank goodness for Ladyfish on windy days. Tonight I have a night fly fishing trip which should go well the Snook fishing at night has been great this winter. I will report back tomorrow.
