Fishing tips for St Lucie and Fort Pierce

[beyondhelp]

It's quiet in this forum so I figured I'd post up and see if I could get some ideas.

I live in Saint Lucie near the river and I haven't had much luck. I have refined my gear a bit, eliminating unnecessary swivels, lightweight power pro and flourocarbon. I have been trying DOA glo-shrimp, rootbeer shrimp, an x-rap, assorted bass worms, live shrimp etc...
I have even thought about having Food Structure Current tattooed on my casting hand


Best I have caught was this jack on a rubber worm



What I am asking is the best way to fish an area like this?

Thats real nice! I'd go DOA paddle tails and Weedless jerkbait...and a mirrow minnow. Nice Jack!

Thanks! It was a real confidence boost to hook up with the jack as it was the first fish caught in a kayak. I was using a light action rod and he pulled me around a bit. He's still very green in the pic and it was amusing trying to take the pic, hold the paddle and camera etc...

Greetings from another PSL person, nice jack. The only thing wrong with him is I didnt get him.
Doa has always been my go-to choice whether a shrimp or terroreyz or cal jigs. The old stand by gold spoon works great too. Tight lines.....Randy

Down there I would go top water or some sort of darker color jig, that is if I was not using flys of course....
