Sebastian Inlet Report

08-02-11 TUESDAY: SNOOK, REDS, MANGROVE SNAPPER, FLOUNDER AND MARGATE This morning winds are blowing out of the Southwest at 7 mph and there is a nice little chop on the water. There has been a pretty good mullet run since the weekend and it's still going on. Snook have been thick; they are spawning and can be persnickety and only interested in taking care of business or may grab just about anything dangled in front of them. Please handle these fish with extreme care. See the top right corner of this page to learn more about catch and release species. Reds have been very active on the tide changes but most have been oversized and returned to the water. Mangrove Snapper have been the best bet for table fare lately with a few Margate, Permit, Flounder and Sheepshead thrown into the mix.    The angler in the photo has a couple of ((Permit)) he landed  using live shrimp. Look real close, they look alot like pompano. Be sure you are putting the right  "SIZED" fish in your cooler.................
