07-22-13 MONDAY: MANGROVE SNAPPER, JACKS, REDS, C/R SNOOK, ATLANTIC SPADEFISH AND MARGATE
What a beautiful morning at the Sebastian Inlet! Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 6 mph and the water is clean and calm. What a great day to get out and wet a line!
We received an update from Tommy Turowski over the weekend who reported that due to the rain, not a lot of folks were fishing, but there were fish to be caught! Sometimes the rain invigorates the fish and the bite turns on. Tommy reported the most prevalent species remained Mangrove Snapper and Jacks, but big Reds, C/R Snook, a few Margate and Atlantic Spadefish made appearances as well.
Our angler of the day is Bill Hillman of Kissimmee. Bill landed this 34" C/R Snook using live shrimp. Bill was quick to get this beauty back into the water right after the photo,
Whenever you catch a C/R Snook or Red, always hold it horizontally, never hold them vertically, it can damage their internal structure. I know we repeat this mantra consistently, but there are people who only read the fishing report occasionally. Hold the fish under the jaw and belly for proper support and get it back into the water right away if you are photographing!
