Sebastian Inlet Report

10-18-11 TUESDAY: REDS, SNOOK, BLACK DRUM, BLUES, FLOUNDER, JACKS AND LADYFISH We have a wet morning at the inlet today and the forecast is calling for showers off and on all day. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southeast at 21 mph and the water is choppy. There is a small craft advisory in effect. We received a fishing update from inlet regular Mike who was back out on the north jetty yesterday. Mike arrived at the inlet around 6:30 a.m. and said it looked like Coney Island, there were so many people out there. When the fishing's good, the word travels far and wide! Mike reported the mullet were so thick, you could practically walk on them. Lots of Reds came over the rails; more oversized than keepers but it was very active. Mike landed two C/R before he landed one in the slot at 25.5", also landed Black Drum and a Sheepshead. Lots of Ladyfish and Jacks were coming over the rails also. When the tide tuned to incoming around 9:30, a lot of Blues, 1 keeper Pompano along with 1/2 dozen shorts, and one Atlantic Spade came over the rails. Thanks for the update Mike!
