I am sitting here in the office listening to the weather channel on the TV, and they are talking about the first bit of snow for the season… Yes winter is right around the corner. There was already snow fall in the mountains in Colorado. We are officially in the fall season, but here in Florida as you know we rarely feel like it is fall because there is very little difference in temperature, and we don’t see the beautiful leaves changing like they do up north. Temperatures for the next week are expected to be in the mid 80’s and lows in the lower 70’s with a higher chance of rain for the beginning of the week. Winds from the northeast at 5 to 10 knots and the seas a little rougher at 3 to 4 feet.

I have a fishing date for Monday. Unless it is storming we ARE going out. I was reading the fishing report for this week and the hot spots mentioned for fishing are all the places that my fishing instructor takes me. H E L L O… I think that is a sign that I need to go fishing. Earlier this week Bill was out in the boat and he drifted by the marina office and held up his fishing rod with a very large blue fish attached. I walked out to the railing shaking my head and said to him, “Are you rubbing it in?” He just laughed and said “I tried to get you out here”. Needless to say I am going to have my own fishing report next week.

This Weekend:
Farmers market from 8 to 12 and the arts and craft vendors will be here until 2pm.

Salsa Fest by the Water is Saturday from 1pm until 10pm in Marina Square. There will be Salsa , Bachata, Merengue and Reggaeton music. Food vendors for some authentic food, and a salsa dance contest. Sounds like great family fun for a Saturday afternoon and evening. For more information log onto www.prafha.org or call 772-216-0285.

Fishing Report from TC Palm:
The trout bite has picked up with action reported on the flats north of the North Bridge near Queen’s Cove and Jack Island, as well as south in the Jaycee Park flats area and Bear Point. Adam White at the Fishing Center of St. Lucie recommends topwater plugs. Redfish are hanging in the same areas, hitting the same plugs, but as the sun comes up, anglers are switching to mid-level runners. Snook are hitting in the Fort Pierce Inlet, mostly on the incoming tide. Feathers are best at night, live baits during the day, and there are a fair number of big mangrove snapper hitting those live baits as well. Look for a good bottom bite with live baits and dolphin scattered between 150 and 400 feet off the Fort Pierce Inlet. Most of the sailfish are between 100 and 150 feet from the offshore bar, south.
