04-30-12 MONDAY: SPOTS, BLUES, LADYFISH
We have a beautiful but windy morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 15 mph and gusting to 20. We received an update from inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who was out on the north jetty this morning and reported another slow day, so far. Mike reported 3 or 4 Spot Porgy's, Tony Swiderski of Sebastian landed a small C/R Snook in the early hours. Mike White of Sebastian had a big hook up that just couldn't be stopped that finally broke off; they are thinking it was probably a Goliath Grouper. Occasionally, waves are coming over the end of the jetty and Mike and Tony were "baptized" pretty well. Take your rain gear if you head to the inlet!
We received a night update from Nam Bui of Orlando who fished the inlet last night with Phillip Ping and Thang Nguyen. Phillip had what appeared to be a slot Snook on the line but it wrapped itself up in the rocks and broke off. Nam hooked up with something quite large, either a big Jack or a Red but lost it as well. He and Phillip were both using spoons. Nam saw another Snook hook up that broke off and one real nice Flounder that came over the rails. Mullet were plentiful on the beachside of the north jetty. Between the three anglers, they landed plenty of Ladyfish and Blues.
Our angler of the day is David Rhim of Orlando with his first Snook ever, a 29.5" keeper! Talk about beginners luck! David was fishing with Nam Bui and landed this beauty on slack tide prior to the outgoing, using a bucktail.
