I caught my 1st sail only 7 miles from the St. Lucie inlet! There are a couple reefs around six miles. Basically you will be in 100 feet of water within 8 miles of shoreline. I start fishing (trolling) as soon as I see some blue water, flying fish, weedlines, etc... I havent been down since January, but the cobia should be around the turtles, and manta rays - 40-80 feet inshore. Sail bite is probably near its end. Dolphin and wahoo should be around. And in shore you can cast live shrimp to the rock jetties and catch sheepshead, and other stuff if you get blown out. South of the inlet is called pecks lake, and should have 100 boats casting for spanish about 1 mile or less from the beach. HAVE FUN!
