02-19-14 WEDNESDAY: SEA TROUT, BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, BLUES, WHITING AND SPANISH MAKEREL
We have a beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the East-Northeast at 1 mph and there is a very light chop on the water.
We have the same cast of characters make appearances at the inlet although not in huge numbers, enough to keep most of our anglers happy. Nice catches in a variety of species including Black Drum, Sheepshead, Sea Trout, Blues, Whiting, Spanish Mackerel, a few Snook and Reds have been coming over the rails and Pompano have been landed off the beaches. The Black Drum have been taking live and dead shrimp and clams, Speckled Sea Trout have been taking live shrimp and small pinfish but they are also fans of artificials such as swimming or topwater plugs, poppers and streamers. We've seen most of the Trout activity on the flats or in the inlet off the rocks. Sheepshead are crustacean lovers, making their meat some of the sweetest out there. Shrimp, crabs, sand fleas and clams all work for that species. Spanish Mackerel will go for gotcha lures, silver spoons, small white nylon jigs and will go for small baitfish with a lot of silver color and on occasion, live shrimp. Get out and try your hand at fishing and enjoy the gorgeous day!
Our angler of the day is inlet regular Tony Swiderski of Sebastian. Tony landed this good sized Black Drum last week using live shrimp.
