This morning it was pretty nice on the north jetty, we had some good cloud cover and the sun popped in and out, there was a little breeze blowing and the fish were going off! Earlier this morning, good sized Mutton Snapper were abundant on the outgoing tide, and although they aren't real picky eaters, they were taking mojarra. Several Mangrove Snapper made appearances, a couple of Pompano were landed, a Black Margate, a couple of Black Drum. The sun came out with a vengeance and the Redfish bite turned on at slack tide and the beginning of outgoing. It was hot...in more ways than one!
We didn't see any Snook landed, but they are there. "Big Dave" Hartwell and his friend Josh Sullivan fished last night and reported many, many Reds and Snook in the slot and otherwise were hitting last night. The duo plan to be on the north jetty at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow morning, for the opening of Snook season. Please remember, the slot is 28" - 32", one per person per day!
Inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach fished the north jetty yesterday and reported a Redfish bite that was off the charts. Mike spent a couple of hours fishing and said there were 60 - 80 Reds landed in the 16" - 30" range, about 75% of them were keepers! Jacks, Bluefish were landed for those who let the tide take their line out more than 100'. Mutton Snapper were hitting before Mike's arrival.
Our first photo today features Hanna Knudsen of Sebastian her first cast landed this oversized Red using a greenie. Greenies were abundant around the north jetty that evening. her and her friends landed a 18' Red and a couple of Mangrove Snapper that evening as well.
Our next two photos feature 13 year old Logan Escue of northern NJ who landed this C/R Red while fishing the south side using a rattle trap. He said this fish was heavy and the Reds were schooling up!
Photo three is of Logan with an 26" keeper Red. Logan was floating a live shrimp on the south catwalk.
Our fourth Photo features Rex Hailey of Wabasso with a 24.75" Red and 5 slot Mangrove Snapper he landed yesterday morning.
Photo five is of "Big Dave" Hartwell of Sebastian with a 25"Redfish he landed yesterday. Dave will also be sending me reports and photos of whats going on in Sebastian. He was a Juno reg and got the Sebastian bug and moved up and seems to be very happy.....
