Sebastian Inlet Report

08-22-12 WEDNESDAY: BONITO, ATLANTIC SPADEFISH, C/R SNOOK AND JACKS 

We have a little breeze blowing this morning out of the South at 8 mph. The water is calm with a light ripple on the surface. The water temperature is in the mid 70's this morning, which is still cool for this time of year. 

Fishing is still slow, there's definitely fish in the water; they're just not biting much! Bonito continue to dart around, Snook are stacked up around the north jetty, Spadefish and Jacks are out there too We are still seeing a good amount of bait around both jetties.

 Todays photo is from Bill his wife Lisa and friend Dave and his wife . They were using Shark rigs with Bluefish or Spanish Mackerel, light tackle, 30 lb. test braid on spinning rods with 130 lb. test wire to a 6/0 steel hook. Sometimes it took up to one hour to play out and release a big Bull Shark while using light weight gear. Bill and Dave landed and released (using long handled pliers) three Bulls between 5' and 7' over three days. Bill didn't mention this, but we're sure the anglers where as tired as the Sharks after those battles!
