Sebastian Inlet Report

01-17-12 TUESDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, BLUES, SEA TROUT, FLOUNDER, BLACK DRUM AND REDS 

We have a beautiful day ahead of us at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northeast at 4 mph and there is a light chop on the water. 

Over the long weekend fishing was hit or miss. We received an update from inlet regular Mike who fished the outgoing tide Friday afternoon and reported the Sheepshead bite was excellent. 30 - 40 Sheepshead were landed for those using sand fleas. Several Pompano and 5 - 6 Black Drum came over the rails as well. Mike also fished Monday and reported a different story. Fishing was very slow with only a few Black Drum coming over the rails. A lot of Blues were hitting spoons and mullet. Some nice fish were lost in the rocks or while trying to net them in the surging waves. Thanks for the update Mike.
We also heard from Nick Pierce who fished the flats on Sunday and landed three nice Sea Trout and lost a 4 - 5 lb Flounder at the net. 
Oversized Reds are still hitting at night.
