11-19-12 MONDAY: BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, SNOOK, FLOUNDER, SPANISH MACKEREL, BLUES, JACKS AND LADYFISH
The web cam is not out of focus, the web cam is covered with salt from the high winds. Believe it or not, the camera lens was cleaned on Saturday. We will have somebody go out and clean it again this morning, but there is no guarantee how long it will last!
Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 9 mph and gusting to 13. Waves continue to break over the jetties and through the north jetty grates; rain gear is advised if you head to the inlet today. The wind and waves wreaked havoc on our jetty anglers this weekend. Tommy Turowski of the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported that getting a line out proved difficult, but anglers who managed, landed a few Black Drum, Jacks, Blues and Ladyfish. From the rocks and the seawall, anglers seemed to do a little better, with Flounder, Spanish Mackerel and Spotted Sea Trout.
Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach fished the north jetty Friday morning and reported miserable conditions. Waves were crashing over the jetty and through the grates of the north jetty, soaking anglers to the bone. In spite of the poor conditions for anglers, three slot Snook came over the rails, landed by Dave Lectric of Sebastian, Mike Misserville and Mike White. Mike reported fast currents and lots of grass in the water on the ocean side, tangling lines on the way out. A few Sheepshead were landed on the inlet side and a lot of Ladyfish tormented the Snook anglers. One good sized Black Drum was hooked up, but spit the hook at the last minute.
Our first photo features Dave Lectric of Sebastian with a 31" Snook and Mike Misserville with a 32" Snook they landed on Friday, freelining live shrimp on the inlet side.
Our second photo shows waves crashing through the north jetty grates, at the temporary end on Friday. we understand that the weekend conditions were worse!
Photo three shows a wave crashing over the north jetty rails, down by the web cam. Enough said!
