Sebastian Inlet Report

01-20-12 FRIDAY: SEA TROUT, BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, FLOUNDER, POMPANO AND BLUES It's a beautiful morning at the Sebastian Inlet! Winds are blowing about 1 mph out of the West-Northwest and the water is calm. We have a wonderful weekend forecasted but boaters should always check the coastal forecast prior to going offshore as conditions can change very quickly. The most dominant catch at the inlet lately has been Sea Trout in the inlet and on the flats. Anglers fishing from shore, west of the bridge and boats outside the channel have been landing Sea Trout on lures and shrimp. Black Drum and Sheepshead have been the best catches off the north jetty and we've seen some smaller Flounder and a few Pompano as well. Those big Reds are still hitting in the evening hours. Our first photo of "Granny" of Melbourne. Granny and her son Red landed a couple of nice Sheepshead and 4 or 5 Black Drum between them. Our second photo is of Mike who landed three Black Drum and one Sheepshead. The best baits were dead shrimp, clams and sand fleas.
