Sebastian Inlet Report

12-17-13 TUESDAY: BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, POMPANO, WHITING AND JACKS 

What a gorgeous morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 11 mph and gusting to 14. There is a moderate chop on the water. It would be a great day to get out and wet a line. By the looks of the web cam a lot of people thought the same thing; the north jetty is crowded with anglers. 

We received several updates that we want to share with you. Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach fished late on Friday; he arrived at 11:30, just in time to catch Tony Swiderski of Sebastian at the cleaning table with some real big fish. Tony's Black Drum was 32" and he had at least one Sheepshead that was between 6 - 8 lbs. Tony used clams and dead shrimp to land his fish. Mike didn't do as well in the afternoon, he managed to land an 18" Black Drum, two 12" Pompano and two nice size Whiting. 
Meir Genoune of Boynton Beach fished the inlet over the weekend and reported Saturday morning's Pompano bite was strong and he limited out with his 6 by 9:00 a.m. The Black Drum bite was slow but steady all day. The bite on Sunday was slower with only a few Pompano caught. The Black Drum and Sheepshead bite was just ok through the day. 
Mike Ricciardi fished yesterday morning and had an exceptionally good catch. Using fresh clams for all the catches, he landed 5 Black Drum, 3 Pompano and 2 Sheepshead. The largest Drum was 28". Mike also reported lots of Sheepshead came over the rails, between 30 - 40 for anglers using sand fleas.
