Default Dolphin Bite

Dolphin bite off Sebastian inlet and Ft. Pierce has been really strong after the recent cold fronts. Good size fish with most over 10 lbs. This past weekend was like a fishing video with multiple hook ups and action lasting all day long.

Came home with 12 in the box and released twice that many - if you fish this area it's time to get out and enjoy the action. You don't have to go far - most action is in 80'-90'. Trolled ballyhoo and live sardines won't last long, these fish are hungry!

HA BACDOC
I HAD A LITTLE OF THE DOLPHIN ACTION DOWN SOUTH AS WELL ON SUNDAY. JUST GOT ONE 15 + POUNDER AND HAD ANOTHER ONE ON. I ALSO GOT ONE KING, ONE SHARK, ONE A.J. AND ONE BONE HEAD. HAD A SAIL HIT BUT LOST HIM. HOW FAR DID YOU HAVE TO GO OUT OF VERO TO HIT THE BLUE WATER UP THERE.

Although I haven't gotten to fish them yet - we get a bit of dolphin bite off Block Island & occasionally Newport, RI.. A few years ago, someone even landed a tarpon of connecticut (but it might just be fishing lore)

JohnR, believe it. Someone got a tarpon here in jersey last year (in the bay no less), I didn't believe it either until I saw a picture of it. And there is plenty of dolphin here too when the offshore waters are warm. I had a big bull spool me this year on light tackle while fishing for albies.

The grouper are really chewin over on the east coast this week. This one came off my boat out of Port Canaveral on Monday, didn't weigh it, but it was over 30#. If you guys ever want to trade a tuna trip in the NE for a Grouper/Snapper trip down here, let me know.

Fellowship,

We go out of Ft Pierce inlet and usually fish the the 80' bar about 8 miles off the beach - out of Sebastian inlet (about 20 miles north) this same dropoff is about 15 miles out. The 80' - 90' line has been hot all summer but mostly schoolies up until about a month ago, Seems like the schoolies have grown up - the big guys are hitting hard now along with the sails. From all accounts looks like an epic sailfish season is starting to heat up!

John B,

That grouper is definitely over 30 lbs - nice catch!
