Sailfish
If you're looking to tangle with a Sailfish, Stuart, Florida, offers excellent opportunities. The winter months, particularly from November to February, are considered peak season as Sailfish migrate south along Florida's east coast. The key to success lies in finding the right water conditions. Look for areas with strong current and temperature breaks in the Gulf Stream, as these concentrate baitfish and attract Sailfish. Live bait, such as pilchards or goggle eyes, is highly effective when kite fishing or slow trolling. Remember to use circle hooks to ensure a proper hookset and minimize injury to the fish. A local tip for Stuart: the area around the 'Humps' offshore can be incredibly productive, but be prepared for potentially crowded conditions. Keep an eye on the wind direction, as it can significantly impact the location of the temperature breaks.
