Sebastian Inlet Report

10-17-11 MONDAY: REDS, SNOOK, BLACK DRUM, JACKS, FLOUNDER, BLUES AND LADYFISH 

We have cloud cover over the inlet this morning, winds are blowing out of the South-Southeast at 8 mph and the water is choppy. There is a small craft advisory in effect today and again Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. Boaters, please exercise caution.

Fishing is has been very good. Over the weekend the Reds kept coming over the rails, some oversized and some keepers. Snook, Jacks, Blues, Flounder, Ladyfish and Black Drum are starting to make a comeback. Most anglers are using live finger mullet since they are available in abundance right now but those using clams have landed a few nice Black Drum.
When the tide was incoming  at first things were on the slow side, then a few big Jacks started coming over the rails, then the Redfish frenzy started going off. So much in fact that it was hard to keep up with all the fish coming over the rails. Oversized and slot Reds came over in droves for about an hour. It seemed to slow on the slack tide. The way things are shaping up for day, the outgoing probably will be productive as well.
