Great Local Fishing
Offshore Fishing and Diving-From the Ft. Pierce Inlet, the famous Gulf Stream current is just five to ten miles offshore. Its warm flow carries nutrients and species from the Caribbean to Florida’s Treasure Coast. Marlin, atlantic sailfish,yellow fin tuna, kingfish, wahoo and dolphin are caught offshore aboard the charter boats that leave from the Ft. Pierce city docks. The offshore reefs are also abundant habitats for Florida’s spiny lobster, grouper, snapper, jack crevalle, and a myriad of colorful atlantic tropicals such as angelfish, damselfish and wrasses.
