Sebastian Inlet Report

JACKS, BLUES, SPANISH MACKEREL, REDS, SNOOK, BLACK DRUM AND A POMPANO OR TWO 

The cool front that moved in yesterday brought us high winds out of the north. It's blowing about 23 mph and gusting to 28. The water is rough and there is a small craft advisory in effect through this evening. Even so, we still have some anglers out fishing the jetties and certain fish such as Snook and Reds get active when water gets churned up, or it could just mess things up just as the fish were getting used to the warmer water!

We received an update from Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop who reported that conditions are tough today but some good sized Blues are being landed along with Spanish Mackerel and Jacks, all of which are being caught on lures! Prior to the front, a few Snook, Reds, Black Drum and Sheepshead were brought over the rails. SISP Ranger Ed Perry also reported that he took a stroll out on the north jetty on Sunday and saw a lot of oversized Redfish, a nice 7 lb. Black Drum was landed and Mackerel were taking spoons and jigs. Ed also wanted us to let you know that FWC is there checking licenses. You must have a license on your person and ID while fishing off the jetties or in the Park, in the car is not acceptable. For more information on saltwater fishing licenses, go to www. myfwc.com.
Our first photo is of Alora Bay at the cleaning table on the south side with a slot Flounder. 

Photo two is of Colby Colbert who fished the inlet and reported that Spinner Sharks and Spanish Mackerel were hitting everything! Colby landed and released this oversized Snook using a gotcha lure! 

Joe Collins sent in our third photo of Dan Gore of Orlando and landed this Black Margate which was released in grease! 

Ron Nonamaker is featured in our fourth photo with an 18" Sheepshead he landed off the north jetty using live shrimp.
Justin Werner of Palm Bay is featured in our last photo today. Justin landed his 31.5" Snook off the north jetty.
