Sebastian Inlet Report






























10-01-13 TUESDAY: REDS, SNOOK, MANGROVE SNAPPER, BLUEFISH, JACKS, BLUE RUNNERS, TARPON, SPANISH MACKEREL AND A FEW POMPANO 

The Sebastian Inlet State Park is open for business and is not affected by the Federal shut-down. 

We have a beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 3 mph and there is a light chop on the water. Fishing has been picking up and in spite of the issues with the Indian River Lagoon, we've had a good start to fall fishing season.

Reds are biting well, some oversized, but many in the slot of 18" - 27". Most of the Snook have been oversized but an occasional slot fish will find its way to a lucky angler. Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Blue Runners, Jacks have been in good supply and we are starting to see Pompano make an appearance. Lots of bait in the water has been attracting the various species. We may be seeing the beginning of the fall mullet run; they have been plentiful along with mojarra and greenies. 

Our first angler today is Mike Podzielinski of Melbourne. Mike fished the north jetty and reported lots of mullet swimming around the jetty. Mike landed this nice Red that was oversized and returned to the water. 
Our second photo features Robert Cruz of Kissimmee. Robert fished the north jetty who reported lots of Ladyfish and Catfish, but mullet were abundant. Robert landed this slot Red after landing one that was over the slot. 

Our last photo today is of one of our lucky inlet regulars, Jose Dore of Palm Bay. Jose landed his 31.5" slot Snook.
