01-29-14 WEDNESDAY: BLACK DRUM AND BLUES
We have a lot of clouds over the inlet this morning. We expect a gray day today with a good chance of rain. Go prepared for wet conditions if you head to the inlet today. Not only for chances of rain, also for waves that could be crashing against the jetty. Currently, winds are blowing out of the North at 23 mph, gusting to 28 and there is a moderate to heavy chop on the water. There is a small craft advisory in effect through Thursday afternoon.
The bite picked up a little yesterday, even some fish fit for the table were landed. Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach sent in an update that the early morning bite was slow, but around 9:30 when the tide switched to outgoing, a few Black Drum came over the rails. At least six were landed by inlet regulars using shrimp and clam combos, until 12:30. Mike and Tony Swiderski of Sebastian landed two good sized Drum each, "Granny" of Melbourne landed one that was 20" and Luis and Zee Segura of Palm Bay landed the largest one at 30". The only other fish that were landed off the north jetty were small Blues for anglers using silver spoons.
Our first photo is of Zee and Luis Segura of Palm Bay with the 30" Black Drum Luis landed yesterday. Nice catch
Tony Swiderski and Mike Ricciardi are featured in our second photo with their two Drum each that were landed off the north jetty yesterday.
