Water-scapes
snapper, or anglers troll the water’s surface for mahimahi
and sailfish. The area is also known for kingfish;
it’s home to the national championship tournament
hosted by the Southern Kingfish Association.
Visitors looking to learn the sport can easily cast lines
from the jetties that flank the Fort Pierce Inlet. Pole
rentals are available at Fort Pierce City Marina.
Beaches are another great place to hook one.
Fishermen can be seen landing tarpon, blacktip
sharks, snook and pompano.
Staying inshore on the Indian River Lagoon is just as
action-packed. This biologically diverse estuary is a
fertile feeding ground for spotted sea trout, snook,
trout, snapper, black drum and flounder.
Anglers love Fort Pierce for its variety of species,
but amenities like multiple marinas, free public boat
ramps, bait and tackle shops, cleaning stations,
charter boats and fishing guides, along with great
hotels offering fishing piers or overnight boat slips
Fishing Mini Guide keep them coming back for more.
