Sebastian Inlet Report

10-31-11 MONDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, BLUES, POMPANO, JACKS, SNOOK, REDS, FLOUNDER AND BLACK DRUM We have a wet, soggy morning at the inlet, but we still have some waterproof anglers out on the north jetty. Winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 8 mph this morning and the water is rough. If the fishermen aren't getting wet from the rain, waves are coming over the rails and soaking our hard core anglers that way! There is a small craft advisory in effect through late Tuesday night. Over the weekend the conditions were less than desirable but those who were tough enough to take it, did pretty well. We had high winds and rain to deal with, but some nice fish came over the rails. Large Spanish Mackerel are coming in now and some have been in the five lb. range. Snook were thick; oversized and keepers. Reds weren't as active as they have been, but Black Drum have been prevalent as well as Blues. One angler landed a Blue that was 3' long over the weekend. Flounder are starting to show up and over the weekend an angler landed an 11 lb Cubera Snapper. Not only is the Cubera a beautiful fish, they taste as good as they look! Our weekend update was provided by Tommy of the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop. Thanks Tommy! The photo is of the "Orlando Crew". These guys from  had a great morning Friday with Snook; oversized that were returned to the water as well as slots. The Snook were landed on hand picked shrimp. Way to go guys!
