01-17-14 FRIDAY: BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, SPANISH MACKEREL, BLUES, MARGATE, POMPANO AND SEA TROUT
It is a beautiful morning at the inlet. It's in the 40's but we have blue skies, the water has a light chop and winds are blowing out of the Northwest at 7 mph, gusting to 12. The bite has been very good the past couple of days. Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, a few stragglers of Margate, Blues and unusual catches rounded out the mix. Sea Trout have been active on the flats. Black Drum, Whiting, Croakers and Pompano have been landed from the beaches.
We received an update from Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who fished the north jetty again yesterday. He arrived later than usual, 10:30 a.m. and reported another good day for Black Drum. The bite was good prior to his arrival and continued until about 1:30 when the tide changed. Mike limited out with five, 25", 23", 21", 20" and 19". Mike said about 25 - 30 Drum came over the rails during his time on the jetty. Clams and shrimp were producing the best results.
Our first photo today features Sally Baughman of Jackson Hole, WY with some nice Pompano that were landed. Sally landed two of them, all were caught on clams.
Ron Castillo and Tony Swiderski of Sebastian and Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach are featured in our second photo with Black Drum they landed yesterday. Tony also landed a Pompano.
Arnold Avila of Davenport had very good luck fishing from the north jetty. Arnold landed 4 Black Drum, 4 Sheepshead, 1 Margate and a few Spanish Mackerel using clams and shrimp.
Our fourth photo today features Jose Pina, Frank Rivera and Fortuneto Santos of Poinciana. The trio landed 11 nice Black Drum between them using shrimp/clam combos.
