Sebastian Inlet Report









10-23-12 TUESDAY: REDS, SNOOK, SPANISH MACKEREL, JACKS, AND LOOKDOWNS 

Hang on to our fishing hats, anglers! Winds are blowing out of the East-Northeast at 22 mph and gusting to 27. The water is rough and small craft should exercise caution. Rain gear might not be a bad idea for today either, when the winds are high like they are this morning, waves have a tendency to crash over the rails of the jetties.

Yesterday morning we had significant winds and choppy waters but the anglers on the north jetty managed to stay dry, according to Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach. Mike reported a lot of Reds and Snook busting up schools of mullet between 7:00 - 9:30 a.m. The morning produced four slot reds and four or five that were over the slot; Mike landed two, one at 28" and one at 31". Five or six Snook were landed but all were oversized, Mike landed and released a 36" Snook. A lot of good sized Lookdowns were landed by Snook anglers who were free-lining shrimp. Mike saw one Black Drum that in the 18" range, landed on clams. A couple of inlet regulars did fairly well with seven good sized Spanish Mackerel using live greenies. 
 Our first photo is of Dot Kern of Englewood with a nice 22" Red she landed off the north jetty yesterday using dead finger mullet. 

Photo two features John Rhodes of Atlanta with two slot Reds landed, one was landed by John at 24" and the other was landed by Mike Ricciardi at 22". 

Our third photo features Denny Hamilton of Palm Bay with a real nice 18" Mangrove Snapper.

Our last  photo is of Justin Werner of Palm Bay. Justin landed this 5 lb. Flounder
