10-02-12 TUESDAY: SNOOK, REDS, SPANISH MACKEREL AND JACKS
We have overcast skies and a little wind at the inlet this morning. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 11 mph and there is a moderate chop on the water.
There are still a lot of bait fish in the water (mullet and greenies) according to Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach, who was on the north jetty yesterday. Even so, the bite wasn't real hot. The early birds reported oversized Snook before dawn on live shrimp. A lot of Jacks and oversized Reds were biting around 6:45 a.m. The bite slowed down considerably between 6:30 - 10:00, then a flurry of Snook were landed on live shrimp. Later in the morning, Spanish Mackerel made an appearance and were hitting live greenies. Mike landed three, but hooked up with 12 - 15, but their lightning fast hits, sharp teeth and strong fights won out in the end, but what fun they were to battle! Free lining live greenies usually produces the best results, and be sure to bring plenty of hooks for the Macks!
Our first two photos were taken yesterday and are courtesy of Mike Ricciardi. Photo one features Tommy Ngo with a beautiful 32" Snook landed on live shrimp during the "Snook flurry".
Our second photo features John Montagnino of New Smyrna Beach with a nice 31" Snook he landed on live finger mullet.
Photo three features Joshua Jorgensen of Orlando with a real nice 24" Red he landed off the north jetty.
Our fourth photo feature inlet regular Tony Swiderski of Sebastian. Tony was hooked up with something that was giving him a pretty good fight, a 25" slot Red that was brought in on live shrimp.
