It's beautiful at the inlet this morning. The wind is blowing out of the Southwest at 2 mph and the water is calm and clean.
Tommy Turowski at the Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported quite a few Mangrove Snapper over the weekend, a few Spanish Mackerel, big Reds, one 7 lb Flounder was landed under the bridge, and large and small Mullet were coming and going. Glass minnows were thick, as were greenies.
We also received an update from SISP Ranger Ed Perry who fished Friday night after work. Ed and his co-worker Barbara Courtney landed Ladyfish and lost a Spanish Mackerel. Bonito were buzzing all around, most were small, in the 14" range but he saw one that was about 10 lbs go ripping by. They were eating small juvenile fish about an inch long and wouldn't hit anything else, not even live greenies! Ed was casting for bait and caught a Snook, a Croaker, Atlantic Bumper, Pilchards, and baby Bluefish, a good variety of small fish hanging around the inlet. Ed saw another angler pull in a C/R Red, and saw several Snook swimming around the jetty. Ed took home a Bluefish and had it for dinner. He panned seared it with olive oil and spices and said it was delicious. Thanks Ed!
Our first photo is of Ed Lectric of Sebastian with an enormous Snook he landed off the north jetty using live mojarra. Dave is nearly 90 years old and is one of the best Snook fishermen on the north jetty. The big Snook was lowered back into the water via net.
