What’s biting?

Here in Vero, the fishing has been excellent lately. The water clarity has improved significantly, making for some exciting, yet challenging, sight fishing. Clearer water often means spookier fish, but those who can present their bait properly are reaping the rewards. Snook, trout, and redfish have been plentiful, while tarpon are proving more elusive with the cooler weather. Pompano are starting to make an appearance as well. With the colder weather moving in some days it’s best to wait for the water to warm a bit.

Boat traffic during the week has been manageable, but that’s bound to change quickly with the holidays around the corner. If you’re planning to get out on the water with a captain, be sure to reserve your dates soon, as many of us are booking up fast.
