Sebastian Inlet Report

11-01-11 RE: FISHING IS GREAT! Hang on to your fishing hats anglers, the wind really picked up yesterday afternoon. This morning winds are blowing out of the North-Northeast at 31 mph and the water is churned up. There is a small craft advisory in effect through late Wednesday evening; boaters should exercise caution. We are seeing the typical fishing pattern for fall at the inlet, it's been going off! Snook, Reds, Black Drum, Snapper, Pompano, Blues, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, Jacks, Ladyfish, Sharks and Sheepshead have been active at the inlet. We are still seeing a lot of mullet in the water and a lot of anglers are netting their own for bait. Some are using live or dead shrimp, cut bait, clams, small crabs and sand fleas if they can find them. Anglers that prefer artificials are using silver spoons, gotcha lures, topwater plugs, soft plastics or bucktails. You almost can't miss right now! Black Drum dominated for a while with an occasional Red, a few Sheepshead were landed and Spanish Mackerel were popping glass minnows, and that was all before 11:00 a.m.! The photo above is of Diane with a 29" Black Drum, she also landed two at 23" which weren't too shabby either! Nice catches Diane! There where slot Snook and reds landed on live shrimp.
