04-02-13 TUESDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, BLUES, BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, FLOUNDER, JACKS AND SEA TROUT
We have a gorgeous morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Northwest at 4 mph, gusting to 11 and there is a light chop on the water.
We have received quite a few photos of a variety of fish including big Blues, Flounder, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Black Drum and Jacks that have all been landed in the past few days, so it looks like spring fishing has arrived! We should start to see more action as various species start migrating up the coast. We also have received some offshore updates and photos of anglers who had luck with Dolphin, Cobia sand Sea Bass. Inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach reported that yesterday the Spanish Mackerel bite was strong off the north jetty. There weren't many other species that were cooperating, so he started throwing gotcha lures and lost two, but not before he limited out on Macks (15). Mike reported that many anglers reached their limit in just a few hours and many did well. A few undersized Sheepshead were caught and released and one Black Drum was landed by Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach in the early morning hours. Thanks for the update and photo Mike!
Our first photo today features Sebastian local Troy Vincent with a 20" Black Drum he landed using clams. Troy and his Dad fished the south beach landed 3 Drum and 2 Sheepshead using clams and 1 Flounder using shrimp.
Our second photo today features Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach with the only Black Drum landed off the north jetty yesterday morning. Chuck was free-lining live shrimp, hoping for a Snook, but ended up with this 22" Drum.
Our third photo is from inlet regular Bill Hillman's and his good Spanish Mackerel catch.
