Fishing Stuart
Stuart sits where the St. Lucie River, the Indian River Lagoon, and the Atlantic all meet at St. Lucie Inlet, and it calls itself the Sailfish Capital of the World for good reason — the Gulf Stream runs close and the winter sailfish bite is genuinely world-class. Inshore, snook and tarpon work the inlet and the river mouths, and redfish and trout hold the grass. Lake Okeechobee discharges can stain the river badly in a wet year.
Target species
- Snook
- Tarpon
- Redfish
- Sailfish
Local tip: The inlet fishes on moving water; after a heavy discharge, run toward the ocean side for cleaner water.
