John's Journal... Entry 157, Day 2 ENDLESS INSHORE FISHING Fishing St. Lucie Estuary in March and April EDITOR'S NOTE: Captain Ed Zyak of Jensen Beach, Florida, chose the St. Lucie Estuary on central Florida's Atlantic Coast to set up his Local Color Guide Service for two reasons. One, he's lived and fished in this region all his life. Two, he can produce speckled trout, redfish, flounder, tarpon and snook year-round. This area homes a phenomenal fishery, and if you like variety, you must consider fishing there. But rather than tell you about my experience fishing the St. Lucie Estuary, let's let Captain Zyak tell you his story. QUESTION: What types of fish can anglers catch in the
St. Lucie Estuary during March and April? Because there are so many pompano and Spanish mackerel inshore in January and February, during March and April I prefer to target the big trout. Since we have a spring mullet run in March and April, plenty of bait pour into the rivers. The trout gorge themselves on all the baitfish. The baitfish are the key to finding big trout. I look for big schools of bait and keep my boat far enough away from those schools so I can cast into them with either a DOA Shrimp or a Terror Eyz jig and not spook the fish. QUESTION:
Tell me about the best trout you've ever caught. For more information, call Captain Ed Zyak with Local Color Guide Service at (772) 485-FISH or e-mail him at localcolorgs@aol.com.
