| 01-06-12 FRIDAY: BLACK DRUM, POMPANO, FLOUNDER, REDS AND SHEEPSHEAD Our web cam is down temporarily due to construction on the State Park's Concession Building. Hopefully, we will have it re-routed and up and running as soon as possible. It's a beautiful morning at the inlet. It's warming up; we have lots of sunshine and gentle breezes. Winds are blowing out of the South at 8 mph, the water is calm and hopefully the fish are still biting! We received an update from inlet regular Mike who was out on the north jetty and reported a good Black Drum bite along with Sheepshead, Pompano, and oversized Reds. Mike said 8 - 10 Black Drum and the same amount of Sheepshead and keeper Pompano were landed during his time on the jetty. Mike had a good morning with a 23" Black Drum and a 15" Pompano. A lot of anglers were using dead shrimp, clams and sand fleas. The monster Reds were landed on lures, they looked like large bucktails. Inlet regular Alberto landed a huge 44" Red that was released immediately. Alberto's largest to date is 47" and he is hoping to beat that record! Carlton McKnight of Kissimmee is featured in our photo today. Carlton landed this big Black Drum using shrimp. |  |
