Sebastian Inlet Report

08-08-11 MONDAY: SNOOK, REDS, MANGROVE SNAPPER AND SPANISH MACKEREL 

It's a real pretty morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South Southwest at 8 mph and there is a light chop on the water. It's going to be another hot one so take plenty of water with you if you head to the inlet.

Fishing over the weekend was fair, a variety of fish were landed but nothing in huge numbers. Snook are the species that are being most landed now as they are spawning, we urge you to please handle these fish with extra caution. They are catch and release only until September 1st and the bag limit will be one per person per day, 28" - 32" in length only. The west coast of Florida will remain closed through Sept. of 2012 so we may see some west coasters here when the season opens. Oversized Reds are active on the tide changes, Mangrove Snapper and a few Spanish Mackerel came over the rails over the weekend. There are lots of greenies in the water right now.
