Sailfish
If you're looking to tangle with the acrobatic Atlantic sailfish, Hobe Sound is a fantastic departure point. The sailfish season here really heats up from late fall through early spring, as these billfish follow the bait migrations down the coast. Focus your efforts offshore, paying close attention to temperature breaks and weed lines, which often hold concentrations of baitfish. Live bait, such as pilchards or threadfin herring, are tough to beat when slow-trolled near these areas. A key local tip is to check the Martin County artificial reefs; these structures can hold bait and attract hungry sailfish. Also, be mindful of the strong currents in the Gulf Stream; a sea anchor or trolling motor can be invaluable for maintaining your position and presentation.
