Sebastian Inlet Report

12-19-12 WEDNESDAY: BLACK DRUM, POMPANO AND BLUES 

It's a beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Northeast at 7 mph and there is a light chop on the water.

Yesterday morning was slow on the north jetty. A couple of smaller Black Drum came over the rails, along with a few Blues and Pompano. The afternoon picked up according to Diane Buyce of Melbourne. Diane landed two Pompano and one Whiting in the morning hours, but ended up catching her limit of 5, using sand fleas later in the day. The highlight of Diane's day was while she was at the cleaning table, a Pelican with hooks and wire stuck in it, came begging and she was able to free it of lines and hooks. She treated the pelican to a couple of Pompano heads for being patient with her as she worked on him! Way to go Diane, Santa should be extra good to you this year. Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach landed 4 good sized Pompano using clams.
