Sebastian Inlet Report


01-31-13 THURSDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, BLACK DRUM AND A SMATTERING OF BLUES, REDS AND JACKS 


We have overcast skies at the inlet this morning. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 7 mph and there is a light chop on the water. There is a small craft advisory in effect through this afternoon, although right now the water is pretty calm. As we all know, things can change in a nano-second, so always go prepared for rain on days like today and always check the coastal forecast prior to going offshore.

Fishing has been on the slow side this week. The species caught in decent numbers have been Sheepshead and Black Drum. A few Blues,, Jacks, oversized Reds and Spanish Mackerel have been cruising around the inlet as well.

We received a real nice update from Trina Perone of Inverness who reported quite a few nice Sheepshead came over the rails of the north jetty.
Our first photo is of Tony Bellamy of Ocala with a good sized Sheepshead he landed off the north jetty last Saturday.
Photo Two is of Trina's niece, Jasmine waiting for the big hook up!

Snook season opens tomorrow through June 1st. Please abide by the bag limits and size regulations. One per person per day, 28" - 32".
