Stuart, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Stuart and Jupiter area beaches
I spent a couple of days guiding Missouri anglers Bill and Eric. It was nice to take a break from Naples fishing guide duties and head over there for a change of pace! They were new to beach Snook fishing, and I was eager to show them what it was all about. The conditions played a huge role in this trip. While the weather itself was great, for some reason an abnormally high swell was running both days, hurting the bite bigtime. Of course the marine forecasts didn't mention this! Despite that, we found some windows of fishable water. The fish we found were stubborn, but we got some to go. Careful presentations with lighter leaders and just simply finding the right fish were key. By the way, the mullet run was in full swing in the area the day before I met my clients, but it dissappeared when I had my clients out! Always works out like that doesnt it? Anyway, great guys and I look forward to fishing with them again in June.

Bio: Growing up and living most of my life in California's San Francisco Bay Area, I took to fishing at a young age. I started off fishing at local piers and lakes around age 10, eventually branching out into other venues and getting more and more serious about the sport as time went on. I took up flyfishing while in middle school, thus beginning a new passion. Moving to Florida in 2002 opened up a whole new world of angling to me, which I strived to learn and understand as quickly as possible. I have a lot of experience in a vast array of fishing techniques; from dropshotting for Bass in 40 feet of water, to flyfishing mountain streams, to Snook on the fly....all of which helps me to be a stronger, more accomplished angler no matter what species I am after. I pride myself in being very patient and creative on the water, and have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge and insight with others!
