01-21-14 TUESDAY: SLOW BITE AGAIN..........
We have another beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the West-Southwest at 6 mph and gusting to 8. The water has a light chop but that will all start to change this afternoon. Winds will increase and NOAA has issued a small craft advisory from 1:00 p.m. today through Wednesday afternoon. We have another cold front coming through and the temperatures are forecasted to dip into the 30's tonight and tomorrow should be chilly most of the day with temperatures in the low to mid 50's as a high.
We received a couple of updates that indicated the Sunday and Monday were slow days at the inlet. Brian Kircher fished all day Sunday and half day on Monday and reported lots of small Flounder, one small Snook and a variety of undesirable table fare. Brian said it was slow, but he has seen it worse. He was particularly impressed with the Toadfish that ate a mud minnow almost as big as it was! Brian also wondered if we had any information on the shrimp running. January, February and March are peak months for sport shrimping, if anybody has knowledge of shrimp running, please write in so we can publish it.
Mike Ricciardi fished the north jetty yesterday and reported that the fish took a holiday too. Practically nothing was landed by many inlet regulars who were out yesterday. All Mike heard of were two Black Drum and one Sheepshead, but it was a beautiful day to be out near the water. Mike got a photo of two young anglers leaving the jetty as he arrived. The young men fished overnight using chunked mullet and landed a couple of Black Tip Sharks. The largest one is featured in our first photo and weighed about 100 lbs. John Nguyen of Kenebunk, ME hooked up with the Shark and Daniel Jeffries of Palm Bay helped him land it.
Our third photo features Thomaq Qafzezi and Ben Skowronski of Sutton, MA with several nice Black Drum they landed off the north jetty. The men were using shrimp.
Vero Beach resident Caesuphas McKenzie landed the Black Drum in our fourth photo using clams.
Our last photo today features Lionel Ramkissoon of Kissimmee with a Black Drum he landed using clams.
