Stuart FL, Fishing Reports

Fishing has been generally slow from the reports I have been getting.  Bait is still hard to come by and you need to work buoys or any kind of structure with sabikis.  Sometimes it helps  if you can tip some of them with a tiny piece of shrimp.   Blackfins, kings and sailfish have been scattered.  Dolphin have been offshore, mainly past 300 ft.   You need to get lucky and find some kind of debris floating, which always helps.  Swordfish are still being caught  in 1600 ft.  October and November have usually been very good times to target them.  The bait migration is  still some miles away and soon they will be here thick,  with all the predators not far behind them for an easy meal.
