With winds steadily blowing 15-25 mph on a lot of days this month, we opted to fish the North Fork of the St. Lucie River which we are basically surrounded on 2 sides and has lots of bends to break the winds coming down the river. With this being said, we decided to fish some of the deep holes that form at the mouths of some of the smaller feeder streams that come into the main body of the river. Using 1/4 oz DOA TerrorEyz and letting them slightly sink and giving a slight jerking motion to we found that these deeper holes are holding good amounts of fish. Juvenille Tarpon ranging from 5-40 pounds readily taking the baits that we had to offer them. Even though these are not the monster Tarpon of Summer they will surely give you a work out. After playing with the Tarpon for over 3 hours and releasing 5 fish we decided to then hit pieces of structure that have deep holes close to that area. Upon throwing the first couple of lures into the area we finally got the retrieve down to the right speed and it was immediately taken by a large "over slot" Snook, after the release we continued workign the same types of structure up each side of the river and found that each piece of structure held at least one Snook. Fishing for Snook in the North Fork is just like fishing for Largemouth Bass..look for structure and deeper holes and the fish will be there..it is then just a matter of figuring what they want to hit. We ended the day with 5 Tarpon and 9 Snook total with most being over the slot releases. Just shows you that because the wind is blowing there are still spots that you can go or hire a guide to take you too catch fish.
