06-17-13 MONDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, JACKS, BLUE RUNNERS AND MANGROVE SNAPPER
Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 6 mph this morning and there is a moderate chop on the water. Winds are expected to increase a little this afternoon, but overall we should have another pretty day ahead of us.
Over the weekend and this morning, the Spanish Mackerel bite turned on according to Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop. A lot of greenies have been in the water and the Macks are attacking them. Anglers using Gotcha lures are having luck as well. A few other species have been coming over the rails in small numbers such as Jacks, Blue Runners, and a few C/R Snook. Mangrove Snapper have started to arrive and Cow-Nosed Rays have been swimming around the jetties.
Justin Iron of Kissimmee is featured in our first and second photos with a large Toadfish he landed. This is the biggest one he's ever seen! The fish was released after the photos.
Toadfish are sometimes called a Mother-in-Law fish; hmmm, wonder why?
Our last photo features Desmond of Melbourne with a huge Lemon Shark. He landed the fish south of the south jetty using a large Jack and he battled it for 20 - 25 minutes.
