02-21-14 FRIDAY: TGIF! SHEEPSHEAD, BLACK DRUM, BLUES, BONITO, SPANISH MACKEREL AND SEA TROUT
We have another stunning morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds have picked up a little, blowing out of the South at 10 mph and gusting to 14. There is a moderate chop on the water, but no NOAA warnings at this time. Always check the NOAA forecast prior to going offshore. We have a good chance of rain late this afternoon and Saturday and possibly on Sunday, so go prepared if you head to the inlet.
We've had a bit of a slow week, but we've still seen some nice fish off and on. A few good sized Sea Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead and smaller Spanish Mackerel have come over the rails of the north jetty. Tommy Turowski of the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported that yesterday afternoon Bonito, Blues and Mackerel moved in hitting silver spoons.
Our first photo today features Angela Wigfall of Orlando. While everyone else was hanging around catching nothing, Angela and her husband Kirk took advantage of a steady Sheepshead bite around 9:00 a.m.! The couple was fishing off the north jetty using live shrimp and landed four good sized Sheepshead, the one in the photo was the largest at 15" and 3.5 lbs.
Our second photo features James Stafford of Jackson Hole, WY with his first Snook catch, ever! James landed his 31" slot Snook off the north jetty at night using live pin fish. Talk about beginners luck.
Angela and James weren't the only ones catching fish this week. Our last photo is of a beautiful Egret with its catch of the day! Photo courtesy of Pam Winegar
