From Capt. Charlie @ Fishing Center - Ft Pierc
It has been a windy week on the Treasure Coast. It kept most anglers at home as a result. I did my usual duties around the house and spent time working on the boat and tackle to while away the time in anticipation of the winds letting up so I could get on the water. Expect more windy days as we go through November and look for water temperatures to continue to cool down as winter approaches us. Fishing will be good throughout the month. It just might be a challenge to get out on some days.
Mangroves will be holding redfish, snook and snapper in the shadow lines. CAL paddle tails on a 1/16oz. jig head or DOA shrimp are great artificial lures around the mangroves. I like the paddle tails in particular because they are much easier to skip back under the mangroves to find the fish. Look for trout in two to five feet of water. Look for the cleaner water for best results. It has been pretty rough on the water lately so clean water is essential to finding the fish. Top water lures, DOA shrimp or CAL jerk baits are great ways to find the bite both in the mornings and during the day. Hit the top water lures early and switch to the soft baits as the sun rises. Work your lures much slower now that the water temperatures are dropping. The snook bite has been good around mangroves, docks and around the inlet, especially for night anglers. DOA TerrorEyz, feather jigs or live bait have all worked well for snook fishermen.
Around the turning basin you can find a variety of fish on the incoming tides. Mackerel, bluefish, jacks and others are coming in with the bait schools and feeding heavily. Anything small and shiny can get you hooked up for some exciting action. There are still lots of snapper around the river. The bridges have been holding lot of snapper and sheepshead. Surf anglers are certainly happy that the winds have slowed somewhat. Everyone is anticipating the arrival of the pompano to the area. Shrimp, sand fleas or clams are favorites along the beaches for most fish. November is an active month to enjoy the fishing on the Treasure Coast.

- Look for the cooler water temps as the cold fronts start coming down from the north. This should mean better fishing and plenty of bait fish. The trout should start gathering in the deeper pockets, channels and the cuts along the deeper side of the flats. Try using a live shrimp or a pigfish on a 1/8 or 1/4 jigheads. Start looking for the snook to move in the areas around the local bridges, the Turning Basin and around the deeper structures. They should be taking live baits fished on the bottom or a jig fished slow and bouncing off the bottom. The snapper fishing should remain steady around the channel edges both to the north and south in the river. A live shrimp will be your best bait to use. The bite in the Ft. Pierce Inlet will pick up as the fish follow the bait schools in. You will get jacks, bluefish, Spanish mackerel and even a bonita or two. These fish will hit just about anything shinny live a 1oz. or 2oz. spoons or a live mullet. Just look for the birds diving and you will fins the fish. Along the beaches you will get the same jacks, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, some pompano and plenty of whiting. For the pompano use a strip of clam and for the whiting use fresh dead or frozen shrimp.

11-08-13 FRIDAY: ROUGH BUT FISH STILL BITING
Conditions are blustery but there are still a lot of Snapper and Jacks taking shrimp. Yesterday a 25 lb. Black Drum was landed and small Flounder are starting to show. Some good sized Snook and Redfish also hanging near the pilings. Fight the wind and try shrimp, clams or finger mullet on the inlet side of the jetty.
