11-21-13 THURSDAY: BLACK DRUM, JACKS, CATFISH AND SHARKS
We have rough conditions at the inlet again this morning. Winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 20 mph; gusting to 24. Waves are breaking over the rails of the jetties; rain gear would be a good idea if you head to the inlet. There are dark clouds hanging over the inlet as well and there is a good chance for rain off and on all day today. A small craft advisory is effect through this evening and a small craft advisory for hazardous seas is in effect from this evening through Friday afternoon.
Tommy Turowski of the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported that Black Drum are the main attraction. This morning, he heard that Catfish, small Sharks and Jacks were coming over the rails as well.
Our first photo today is courtesy of Zeb Kinser of Kissimmee. Zeb (R) and his dad Bruce (L) have been fishing the inlet every Sunday for the past three weeks. The men managed to land two slot Reds at 24" and 27" in the midst of a mullet invasion on the outgoing tide.
Eric Easterling and his brother Colton fished the south jetty last Saturday when they hooked up with a couple of Snook on the incoming tide, but unfortunately, they evaded capture. A group of young people started fishing and having pretty good luck, so the brothers decided to help out the next generation of anglers land their fish. The kids landed over a dozen Jacks, a Flounder and the oversized C/R Red in our second photo. Eric didn't get the young man's name, but the catch was quite impressive, way to go! Eric also sent in our third photo, of a man who hooked up and landed a 5' Black Tip from the tip of the south jetty. Eric reported that the photo didn't capture the Shark very well, it was a nice one. Thanks Eric!
Our fourth photo features Steve Bozutto of Vero Beach. Steve fished the north jetty on the 6th when he landed the 17" Black Drum in our fourth photo and the 25" slot Red in our fifth.
