Fishing in Stuart, FL

Stuart is known "Sailfish Capital of the World" — a title shared proudly with neighboring Palm Beach County — and for good reason. The Gulf Stream sweeps unusually close to the Treasure Coast shoreline, delivering trophy sailfish within easy reach of Martin County's fishing fleet. The St. Lucie Inlet is the gateway to both nearshore reefs and the open Atlantic.

Where the river meets the Indian River Lagoon, anglers encounter a diverse mix of species including redfish, spotted seatrout, and flounder. The flats around Sewall's Point and the Jupiter Island shoreline offer productive sight-fishing for permit and bonefish.

Wahoo fishing is exceptional off Stuart during winter months, with massive schools following the Gulf Stream's edge. Spring and summer bring mahi-mahi and tuna. The live wind and wave forecast above is essential for planning safe and productive offshore trips from the St. Lucie Inlet.
