Indian River County

Capt. Brian Williamson of Vero Tackle and Marina said the coming frontal system did little to keep his anglers off the water. They were able to fish the Indian River Lagoon to catch a number of trout on the flats around the spoil islands south of Vero Beach. The best trout was about six pounds. Anglers can use live shrimp or artificial shrimp to find good bites. Jacks, snook and flounder are also in the mix.

St. Lucie County

Kevin McCoy is onto the big snook. That's all there is to it. The Port St. Lucie angler who admits he is relatively new to fishing, especially wade fishing, has learned fast from fishing friends like Alan Angert and Jayson Arman where to go and how to work an artificial lure on the flats for giant oversized snook. He caught and released a 42-incher Tuesday to wow his Facebook friends and followers. This just a week after catching and releasing a 43-incher.

Martin County

Snapper fishing offshore was pretty good before the weather break, and should resume Friday and throughout the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Look for the best bite to be inshore of 100 feet where mutton snapper and mangrove snapper are on the reefs. Deeper wrecks and artificial reefs are holding some grouper, but some bottom fishermen are saying the genuine red snapper (which must be released) and amberjacks are making the grouper hard to find.

Lake Okeechobee

The rain should help the lake's low level a little bit. Anglers are catching plenty of big bass while using flipping and punching techniques around mats of vegetation. Fish the spots where hydrilla and hyacinths open up to open water around the bass boat trails through the western portion of the lake. The Monkey Box, Point of the Reef and Observation Shoal has been some of the best places to fish due to habitat.
