Sebastian Inlet Report




07-05-12 THURSDAY: MANGROVE SNAPPER, BONITA, BLUES AND SPANISH MACKEREL 

We hope everyone had a happy and safe July 4th holiday. It's a pretty morning at the inlet, although winds are barely blowing out of the South-Southeast at 3 mph, making it pretty warm. Take insect repellent if you head to the inlet to ward off the no see 'ums. 

This morning big schools of Bonita are darting around the north jetty, hitting live bait! It's pretty amazing that they are inshore, as they are normally a deep water fish. Good sized Mangrove Snapper are biting as well. A few Blues and Spanish Mackerel are in the mix, but not in huge numbers.

Glenn Cook and his stepson Andrew Gamble of Orlando, camped at the Sebastian Inlet State Park  and landed a couple of nice fish for dinner! Photo one is of a 22" Sea Trout landed by Glenn on live shrimp drifted under a Cajun Thunder bobber at dusk.

Photo two is of Andrew Gamble with a 19" slot Red he landed on cut mullet. They grilled it over the campfire, along with the Sea Trout.
