10-12-12 FRIDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, JACKS, LADYFISH, BLUES, FLOUNDER, REDS AND SNOOK
It's a windy morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Northeast at 20 mph and gusting to 24. The water is pretty choppy and there is a small craft advisory in effect from 8:00 a.m. this morning through Sunday evening. Always check the coastal forecast prior to venturing offshore, although it doesn't look good for our boaters this weekend. An amateur surf contest is being held at the inlet by the Atlantic Surfing Federation today and over the weekend. As always, use caution when casting off the north side of the north jetty when surfers are present.
Even though the water is churned up, Tommy Turowski at the Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reports a steady bite. Some big Spanish Mackerel were landed yesterday, along with Blues, Jacks, Ladyfish, Reds, Snook, Flounder and a few a Mangrove Snapper.
Our first photo is courtesy of George Olmo. George was fishing the north jetty when he witnessed this little 7 year old set the hook and fight this big C/R Red all by himself! Dad assisted on the net and the Red was returned immediately to the water after the photo. This little trooper is quite the budding young angler! Fantastic job!! George said this young man made everybody's morning on the north jetty!
Our second photo features brothers Eytan and Leore Ganon of Deerfield Beach. The boys were fishing with their dad Meir,at first light, and landed a total of 5 Reds on finger mullet, keeping one each. A handful of Jacks, Sheepshead and Black Drum were also landed that morning.
Photo third features three inlet regulars with slot Reds, Steve Bozutto of Vero Beach, Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach and Tony Swiderski of Sebastian all landed keeper Reds in the morning.
