Capt. Jonathan Earhart predicts fishing trends from Wabasso Beach to Boca Raton, including Vero Beach, Ft. Pierce, Stuart, West Palm Beach and Lake Worth 


September 8 - 10

September is here, which means it's time for the annual mullet run!! This week we are already seeing schools of finger mullet and larger mullet migrating along the Treasure Coast. Snook, jacks, tarpon, redfish, seatrout, bluefish and flounder are following these large schools of mullet. Find good ambush points and cast mullet around the structure for success. I suggest using a 40 to 60lb leader with 3/0 to 6/0 circle hooks this time of year. A 5000-size spinning reel will get the job done for most medium-sized game fish this month. Larger tarpon are feeding on mullet along deeper channel edges. Larger tackle with 80 to 100lb leader is what I'd recommend.

Nearshore fishing has been tough. Large ground swells have been pounding the beaches but when the surf subsides and the water clears up expect to see some Spanish mackerel, bluefish, jacks, cobia and snapper. Offshore has been steady for blackfin tuna from 150' to 350' when trolling and or live bait fishing. A few mahi are around near weedlines in or around 90'. Expect an occasional sailfish, kingfish and bonito.
