In the summer, fishing is in full swing here with so many different fish to target.  Inshore, expect to see the usual redfish, sea trout, flounder, black drum and sheepshead.  Tarpon are the big draw here in the middle of the summer as they move through the area.  Anglers also catch bluefish, jacks, sharks, pompano and more.  Offshore, the summer months offer excellent fishing for a variety of pelagic species.


Fishing Stuart, Florida in the Fall


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
September 89° / 74°
October 85° / 70°
November 80° / 64°

As the water temperatures cool in the fall, the bite stays strong in this area for so many different species of fish.  The annual fall mullet run provides some of the most exciting fishing of the year for a variety of different species.


Fishing Stuart, Florida in the Winter


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
December 76° / 59°
January 74° / 55°
February 76° / 57°

The cooler winter months can provide some excellent fishing opportunities in this area.  Many migratory species of fish will move back down the coast as they follow the mullet in the fall, but then the warm water temperatures will keep them down here.  Anglers do well with pompano, bluefish and Spanish mackerel through the winter.  The typical resident fish found inshore will typically bite well all winter. Offshore, sailfish are popular here, however, you do have to deal with the winter winds that can make the waves a lot tougher to deal with further offshore.
