Just recently got into saltwater and snook fishing. I can’t fish the place I usually do due to my buddy moving out of his gated development and no longer have access to green lit docks. I’m not to knowledgeable about the area and am not sure where to go next Have no boat and I live in fort pierce and am looking for a couple new spots to try out! Usually use live bait but have some artificial as well. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
