Sebastian Inlet Report

02-26-13 TUESDAY: FISHING REMAINS ON THE SLOW SIDE 


It's a breezy morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 17 mph and gusting to 24. The water is choppy and a small craft should exercise caution.

We are seeing the usual cast of characters at the inlet, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Blues, Spanish Mackerel, small Snook and Jacks but none in large numbers. One's and two's of this and that. "Big Dave" Hartwell reported that the night time bite has been good for oversized Reds and Sharks. 

Photo today is of Paul Sujdak who was  surf fishing south of the south jetty using cut Bluefish for bait on a 2' metal leader, followed by 2' of 80 lb.

monofilament with 750' of braided line on a Fin-Nor 7500 OS reel and a 9/0 circle hook. The 6' 1" Black Tip ran for about 150 yards before Paul could stop him, but surprisingly enough, the big guy was landed in 15 minutes. The photo shows Paul and Rich measuring the Shark before releasing it.
