03-31-14 MONDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, BLUES, JACKS, REDS, SNOOK, BLACK DRUM AND SEA TROUT
We have a cool, crisp morning at the inlet but we expect a beautiful day today. It will be a good day to get out and do some fishing, if you can! This morning winds are blowing out of the West-Northwest at 7 mph and gusting to 11; there is a moderate chop on the water.
Over the weekend, fishing was good. A lot of Jacks, Blues, Sheepshead, some Black Drum (one that was 40 lbs.), Snook, Reds and Sea Trout were landed, according to Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop. Tommy reported a 10 lb. Sea Trout was landed around noon on Saturday off the sea wall on the north side, it was a beauty! Shrimp are still running at night.
Our first photo today is courtesy of Larry Olmsted. Larry took this photo of fellow Minnesotan Snowbird Jim Klehn with a 32" Black Drum he landed using dead shrimp. Prior to this fish, Jim fought another that was much larger, but it proved to be too much fish for his tackle.
Richard Doughman of Winter Springs landed and released this approximate 35 lb. Redfish. It was his 5th cast of the night using a 1.5 oz. bucktail with pink head and white feathers. It took some effort to get the bucktail out of its mouth, so he didn't bother to measure it, just a quick photo and back into the water. Richard wasn't rigged for anything that large, so he kept the drag loose and had an excellent fight with this big boy!
