Hello from near Jensen Beach

Post by lostinfl »

My family and I have been in Florida for nearly a year. We moved down from West Virginia. I used to do a decent amount of Trout and Bass fishing up North. Nothing serious though. Just a great excuse to enjoy the outdoors and force my daughter to spend some time with me. :mrgreen:

Anyways, we haven't done any fishing since we have been down here. We hope to start fishing in the next month or two. Not really sure where to start with poles, tackle, etc. We can learn along the way. That's half the fun for us.

Hope to meet a few of you in the near future.

you live in a great place to wade fish for trout, snook and redfish. Drive along A1A anywhere between st. lucie inlet and ft. pierce inlet where there is some great wade fishing in the Indian River.

Thanks for the welcome. Is there a way to find out which fish are edible and from which waters fish are edible?
For the most part we catch and release but occasionally we like to eat what we catch.

Download the app "fish rules" it will tell you the regulations in your area as well as their eating quality.

One place to start is vittolo family park, just a few miles south of the Ft. pierce inlet on the indian river. There are two entrances, I think only one is open, drive to the end of the straight gravel road, and you will come to a viewing tower, you can start wading north or south from there. If you dont mind walking a little ways, Bear point park, just north of Vittolo, is real good also. You will need to walk on the gravel trail, a little ways past the fishing pier. Great topwater action at sunrise and sunset. i live in the Hollywood area and i try to get up there a few times a year.
