BE60 pilot experiences a near midair collision after descending through a broken layer under ZMA con...

Narrative:

While descending thru broken clouds on vectors for a visual approach to runway 10R at fpr on an IFR flight plan; in contact with miami ATC; ATC instructed to report airport in sight. I advised that we were IMC and was then cleared to lower; 2000 ft if I recall correctly. A few moments later we broke out from the broken layer at approximately 3000 ft MSL and I reported the airport in sight and was instructed to contact fort pierce tower. I switched frequencies and immediately received a TA (traffic advisory system (TAS) equipped). Numerous aircraft were displayed within the 6 mile ring; but we received a yellow TA directly below at 300 ft. I arrested the descent; but the traffic came within 200-300 feet directly below. The frequency was very busy and it took a few moments for me to establish contact with fpr tower. I believe fort pierce tower was in contact with the conflicting aircraft based on one of the tense exchanges taking place. Once I checked in with the tower I was immediately cleared to land on runway 10R and landed without any further drama.upon establishing contact with fort pierce ground control and receiving taxi instructions I made a comment to the ground controller about a concern of a near miss. I was given a phone number for miami ATC. My concern primarily was that while on vectors with miami ATC I was not given any traffic advisories prior to the onboard TAS TA. It seemed I was vectored into the conflict.
