02-18-14 TUESDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, BLACK DRUM, SPANISH MACKEREL, BLUES, SEA TROUT, WHITING, A FEW SNOOK AND REDS
What a beautiful morning at the inlet! Winds are blowing out of the North-Northeast at 4 mph and the water is clean and calm. We have a perfect, light ripple on the surface. It would be a great day to get out and fish if you get the opportunity. Unfortunately, many of us are stuck inside working, but for those of you who aren't, go for it!!
With the beautiful weather, the jetties become more crowded. Please look at fishing etiquette at the top right of this page. If you are on the jetty early in the morning using multiple rods and there's nobody there, it's fine to spread out. As the jetties become more crowded during the day, pull your fishing rods in so that you are manning them and they are within your reach. Taking up all the "good spots" on the jetties is inconsiderate, and we all want to be known as good sports that use proper fishing etiquette.
The bite picked up last week, but some species remain elusive, like the big doormat Flounder. We've had some nice Black Drum catches, good sized Sheepshead, some beautiful Spotted Sea Trout which are plentiful on the flats, Blues and smaller Spanish Mackerel coming over the rails of the jetties. Whiting and Pompano are being landed from the beaches. An occasional Snook or Red will make an appearance as well.
Our angler of the day is Luke Vila of Kissimmee. Luke, his brother James and friend Justin Mitchell fished using live shrimp, landed the good sized Bonnethead Shark .
