Sebastian Inlet Report




01-25-13 FRIDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, BLUES, JACKS, BLACK DRUM, REDS, SNOOK, FLOUNDER, POMPANO AND WHITING 

It's another beautiful morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing at 5 mph out of the West-Northwest and the water is clean and calm. We could see a swell for the surfers later this morning, if the winds remain westerly and pick up just a tad. As always, use caution when casting into the surfing area when surfers are present. Always check the coastal forecast prior to venturing offshore. 

This week we've seen a nice variety of fish come over the rails of the north jetty, but none in big numbers. A smattering of Black Drum, Blues, Reds, Sheepshead, a few Snook and Flounder have been landed. Small Pompano, Jacks and Spanish Mackerel have been in play as well. Tommy Turowski of the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reports that the south beach saw some pretty good action yesterday with Whiting, Pompano, Blues and Jacks. Today would be a perfect day to get out and do some surf fishing!
 The first photo is pretty amazing and rarely happens. Arthur Anderson of Orlando was fishing for Pompano using shrimp around 9:30 a.m., when he came up with this nice surprise, a big Cobia! Cobia aren't seen on the jetty very often! 
Photo two is of a beautiful C/R Snook landed by Phil Tate of Orlando. Phil was using shrimp to land this big beauty. The Snook was released unharmed after the photo. 
Photo three features Angie Persons of Orlando who landed this slot Red using shrimp. This nice Red was 26 3/4", it doesn't get much better than that!
