06-26-13 WEDNESDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, MANGROVE SNAPPER, JACKS, BLUE RUNNERS, C/R SNOOK AND REDS
We have a beautiful morning at the inlet, although the forecast is calling for a chance of rain today. Winds are blowing out of the South at 4 mph and there is a light chop on the water. The water temperature is starting to creep up a little; it's hovering around 80 degrees now. Go to the inlet prepared for anything in the summer months, lots of sunscreen, water, insect repellent and rain gear all come in handy this time of year.
The Spanish Mackerel bite continues to be the big draw at the inlet, at least until the Barracuda show up and frighten them away. That's been happening the past few mornings. A nice variety of fish have been coming over the rails including Blue Runners, Mangrove Snapper, Jacks, Reds, C/R Snook and a Sheepshead or two have been in the mix.
Our first photo today is of Matt Scripter of Palm Bay with a huge C/R Snook he landed at night using a lure. There were a lot of bait fish swimming around the south jetty and he and his buddy had it all to themselves! The Snook was released right after the photo.
Our second photo today features Paul Danko of Sebastian with a Mangrove Snapper he landed using live shrimp.
Our last photo today is of "Q". waiting for the bite to start at the beach.
