This morning winds are blowing out of the Southwest at 5 mph and it's already hot and steamy on the jetties. Some day's its fishing and some day's its catching and this morning, it's mostly just fishing. There is very little coming over the rails of the north jetty this morning. The water is muddier today than the prior two days and maybe that is the difference. A couple of Catfish, a couple of small Sheepshead (only one keeper) were landed from 7:00 - 9:00 this morning and that's about all there is to report, other than one huge Snook landed by Diane Buyce of Melbourne. Diane thought she had a Permit on, and was surprised that she wound up with a big Snook. The Snook was so big, she didn't even bother to take it out of the net, it was lowered back in, revived and it swam off healthy.
We received an update from inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who fished the north jetty yesterday morning from 6:00 - 11:00 and reported a pretty active morning for Spanish Mackerel and Southern Sennet, which are in the Barracuda family, but smaller. Silver jigs/spoons and gotcha lures were catching the most fish, but a few were landed on greenies. Jacks were plentiful and took anything put in front of them. Mike estimated 30 - 40 fish came over the rails during his time on the jetty.
Diane Buyce of Melbourne landed her share of Mackerel and is featured in our first photo.
Jorge Yenques of Orlando landed a nice Black Drum using live shrimp in our second photo today. Mike said he hasn't seen any Black Drum in a while!
