Fort Pierce Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Fort Pierce

Fort Pierce Inlet is a deep, hard-running cut with jetties on both sides and a state park on the north — one of the most reliable land-based snook, tarpon, and redfish spots on the Treasure Coast. The inlet's current sweeps bait through in a hurry, and the lagoon behind it holds trout and reds over grass. It's also the closest inlet to some very good nearshore reef.

Local tip: The jetties fish hardest on the outgoing as bait flushes out of the lagoon — and it gets rough when it blows.
