Title: Vero Beach FL
Post by: Greg7 on February 17, 2009, 07:59:52 PM

Heading down to Vero Beach toward the end of march. Wondering if anyone is familiar with the area and has some info on the fishing this time of year.  If I get out to fish Ill probably be fishing the river.

I fished there about 10 years ago on the Indian River.  I just fished off the dock behind the house we were staying at.  We caught snook, redfish, sea trout, tarpon and a host of various other pan type fish.  Did really well on topwater lures for snook.  I remember using whole fiddler crabs that I caught along the muddy banks tidal line for bait.  Fish really liked them and they were free!  Had a great time.  I saw dolphins and manatees every day there in the water.

You will have a good time and weather was nice end of March begining of April!
