Jensen Beach is located at the St. Lucie Inlet,just minutes from the
Gulf Stream. Labeled the Sailfish Capitol of the World, one three-day
tournament released over 200 spindle beaks. The title fails to
recognize the miles of shore line and flats that surround Jensen
Beach.
Sailfish
Blue Water anglers will find action daily within sight of the shore
line; sailfish, kings, wahoo and dolphin are plentiful throughout the
year. Your ability and equipment can be tested with dolphin to 50
lb., king fish in the 20 lb. class, and cobia that will smoke the
drags on your reel. Reefs, both natural and artificial, play host to
every type of snapper. 12 lb. muttons are not unusual, with grouper
that will wear your patience and leaders thin.
Surf anglers will find miles of beach with just as many access points
to cast their luck. From tasty whiting and croaker in the first
trough to pompano and blue fish for the long cast- the catch list is
long. Snook and tarpon patrol the summer beaches following bait
schools, so be sure your reels are filled to capacity.
Pompano
River anglers will find miles of mangroves, green grassbeds and
channels with spoil islands to attract every species one could
challenge.
Waders and small boaters from canoes to center consoles will
appreciate the many up- to-date boat ramps and their locations. The
Jensen waterways continue to record the state's largest numbers of 20
lb class snook year after year. Trout records are set yearly. Fly rod
anglers: an 8 # weight is minimum to land a nine pound trout. The
state's largest tarpon, 250 lb., was caught and released just 4 miles
from one of the many well-maintained boat ramps.
Jensen Beach has 2 causeways with bridges,a catwalk and a fishing
pier that offer plenty of lazy areas to wet a line and watch the sun
set. From the heavy trolling tackle to the lightest river tackle, the
Jensen area offers fishing action for all skill levels from the miles
and miles of shoreline.
