January 2 --scouting/fishing

Remember to visit http://www.corporateretreatcharters.com/

I got out by myself on Jan. 2, just to do some looking around to see what was going on. I fished some docks and basically just scouted the river. There seems to be a decent snook bite in the St. Lucie and all the jacks and ladyfish you could possibly want right now in the Indian River. Pompano are skipping anytime you run a flat. If the water temperature drops a little bit more, the bluefish will really make their presence known. I spooked plenty of flounder while running the trolling motor along the shallow sand. Spanish mackerel are all over the inlet.

When it comes to variety, this is one of my favorite times of the year to fish. You don't need anything crazy; just some light tackle and a few shrimp or pilchards will be more than enough.
