What's Biting FLatlantic coast · Jupiter to Sebastian
Treasure Coast
Indian River Lagoon, St. Lucie Inlet, Fort Pierce Inlet and Sebastian Inlet. One of the best snook fisheries anywhere, plus surf pompano, flounder and wintertime bluefish runs.
Today's report (2026-11-11)
The Treasure Coast is fishing well today with the new moon pushing feeding activity. Flounder, redfish, and spotted seatrout are the top three species right now. Keep in mind that flounder harvest is closed statewide, so any you catch must be released.
The best window is the morning major period from 12:17 to 14:17, with the incoming high tide around 10:25 helping the bite at Sebastian, Fort Pierce, and St. Lucie inlets. Watch the sky this afternoon since there is a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm.
Tip: Get on the water early and head in before the storms roll in.
