May Jensen Beach / Stuart Fishing Report

The month of May has brought summer like conditions along with it. Calm and sunny mornings with windy, rainy afternoons. The fishing has been good when you can get out in between the storms, in the evenings or early in the morning. The snook remain stacked up under the docks. Eric Root caught his personal best snook at 35 inches while wading with Treasure Coast Tackle. On the last day of the month, Ryan landed his personal best snook at 40 inches!

Ryan's personal best snook at 40 inches, caught on the Unfair Lures Liveglow White Rip-N-Slash!
Another very nice snook, caught on the Seaweed Shad 12 Fathom Fat Sam Mullet!

As far as redfish go, they are few and far between, but the ones you get are good ones! David caught a solid 27 inch redfish and Chris Keyes won the redfish division for the Florida Sportsman Southeast Bash & Tournament with a 30 inch redfish.

27 inch redfish on a Shimmer Gold 12 Fathom Fat Sam Mullet!

30 inch redfish on a Pearl Grey Unfair Lures Mullet!

Tarpon are gradually making a showing in the St. Lucie River. Shane Jones caught his first tarpon ever near the Roosevelt Bridge a couple of weeks ago.

Prizes for FL Sportsman SE Bash, Shane Jones first tarpon ever,
Eric Root's personal best snook at 35 inches and Dylan fishing!

The trout have continued to elude us for the most part but with summer on its way, you can expect them to be on the flats early in the morning. Ryan also hooked into an unexpected guest when he caught about a 3 foot lemon shark while wading during a Joupdog Wading Adventures trip!

This 3 foot lemon shark found out the Unfair Lures Rip-N-Slash fights back!

Almost all fish were caught on the Unfair Lures or the 12 Fathom Fat Sam Mullets. May was great and hopefully June will be even better! Good luck and tight lines...
