Sailfish
Port St. Lucie offers access to some excellent sailfishing grounds. The winter months, particularly from November through February, are prime time to target these majestic billfish. The Gulf Stream current brings sailfish close to the coast, making them accessible to anglers fishing from smaller boats. Trolling with dead bait, such as ballyhoo, is a standard technique. Look for areas with current edges, temperature breaks, and concentrations of baitfish. Local captains often use kites to present baits on the surface, which can be highly effective in attracting sailfish. The sailfish off Port St. Lucie are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. A key tip is to pay attention to the wind direction, as sailfish often swim into the wind. Always practice proper catch-and-release techniques to help conserve this prized sportfish.
