07-24-12 TUESDAY: SNOOK, REDS, TARPON, SPANISH MACKEREL AND JACKS
It's a pretty morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northeast at 2 mph and the water is calm. There is a small swell at first peak this morning and we have a few surfers in the water taking advantage of the conditions. Please use caution when casting off the north side of the north jetty when surfers are present.
We've seen quite a bit of catch and release Snook activity in the early morning, evening hours and a few stragglers during the day. Please handle your C/R Snook with care. It's breeding season and we want those Snook nice and healthy. If a Snook is brought over the rails of the north jetty by net, it should be lowered back into the water via net to prevent the fish from being stunned by the long drop to the water. Those tips should apply to any large catch and release fish. Big Reds and Tarpon are making appearances at night. The Spanish Mackerel bite has been good the past two mornings and Jacks are being landed off the north jetty as well.
Our first photo today features Jamie Wamsley of Palm Bay with his first Snook ever! Jamie landed this beautiful 31" Snook off the north jetty over the weekend using live pinfish. The Snook was released after the photo.
