This week on the Treasure Coast, the strong inshore bite is still going on with flounder as they move away from the inlet and onto the flats. As typical, mud minnows are the bait of choice right now for these flat boys. Meanwhile, trout had been a bit scarce in recent weeks, but they are starting to wake up. Some anglers are swearing that big shrimp are the ticket to elicit a strike, but others are paying hand-picked prices for the smallest available shrimp. They tell us that a little shrimp on a smaller gold hook seem to be irresistible to the trout right now. Either way, it’s hard to go wrong with a well placed live shrimp.

Offshore and surf fishing the pompano and whiting a good bet. You can’t argue with the Native Salt Clams there. The word we hear most often is “awesome!”

Come on by the shop and get your 2019 Sebastian Inlet tide chart courtesy of Seatow Sebastian. It’s a handy little reference guide to let you know what’s happening. Otherwise, have a great week on the water. It looks like the weather is finally cooperating!
