The spring brings warmer waters and more fish into this area.

Bluefish, tarpon, cobia, pompano, jacks and sharks are just some of the fish you may catch as waters warm up in the spring. The Fort Pierce Inlet is a popular spot to fish in the spring as lots of fish will use the inlet as they move into the area’s inshore waters.

In the summer, fishing is in full swing here with so many different fish to target. Inshore, expect to see the usual redfish, snook, sea trout, flounder, black drum and sheepshead.

As the water temperatures cool in the fall, the bite stays strong in this area for so many different species of fish. The fall mullet run is super exciting as anglers will pursue large tarpon, snook, redfish and many other species too. You can catch many of the migratory species into October, but as water temperatures cool off into November, the species will become more limited. If you’re looking to come here and target the usual species here, plan on having good fishing opportunities for redfish, snook, black drum, sheepshead, trout and flounder.

| Month | Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo) |
| December | 76° / 55° |
| January | 74° / 52° |
| February | 75° / 54° |
The cooler winter months provide tougher fishing when cold fronts move in. However, there are still plenty of fish that will eat, but don’t expect to see the variety that you can see here during the spring and fall migrations. The inshore fishing is good here in the winter and most anglers will be targeting redfish, sheepshead, snook, flounder and trout. Some of the backcountry areas can hold some of the best fishing during the winter months, so don’t rule out some of the shallower backcountry areas from December through February.
