Sebastian Inlet Report

03-18-13 MONDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, BLACK DRUM, BLUES, JACKS, SNOOK, REDS, FLOUNDER AND SEA TROUT 

We have a mix of sun and clouds over the inlet this morning. Winds are blowing out of the South at 7 mph and the water has a light to moderate chop on the water. 

Over the weekend, there were a variety of species landed, but again, nothing in large numbers. Sheepshead remain the best bet around structures. If you are targeting Sheepshead, they love to hang out around the jetty and catwalk pilings, foraging for small crustaceans. Small crabs are a favorite, along with sand fleas, clams and shrimp. Tommy Turwoski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle reported on Saturday a few huge Black Drum came over the rails of the north jetty, weighing around 40 lbs.! A smattering of Blues, Snook, smaller Flounder, Reds and Sea Trout were landed as well. 
Inlet regular Mike Misserville, who reported the Snook bite turned on around 7:00 p.m. Friday until around 8:30. Mike landed a nice 30.5" keeper using shrimp.
