04-02-14 WEDNESDAY: BLACK DRUM, REDS, SNOOK, JACKS, BLUES, SEA TROUT, SPANISH MACKEREL AND SHEEPSHEAD
We have another gorgeous day waiting for us at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 4 mph, gusting to 6, which will probably increase as the day progresses. There is a light to medium chop on the water.
We have had a good Sea Trout bite on the flats and in the inlet, north and south sides. Good sized Black Drum and a few whoppers are coming over the rails along with Reds, Snook, Blues, Spanish Mackerel, a few Pompano and Margate. Live shrimp seems to the bait of choice for most species, although the Mackerel prefer silver spoons are gotcha lures. Shrimp continue to run at night.
Our first photo today features Heydee Rojas of Orlando with a beautiful C/R Redfish she landed using live shrimp to land this oversized Red, her first one! The Red was released unharmed right after the photo.
Rich Blum, inlet regular during our winter months, and his brother Ken who was visiting from Indianapolis fished the north jetty. The men had great luck with Black Drum; they walked away with three nice ones. Rich reported that a lot of Black Drum came over the rails and a few nice ones were lost. The Pompano bite got hot for a while and about 10 - 12 came over the rails. Photo two is of Ken Blum with a large Black Drum, his largest to date.
Photo three is of snow bird Rich Blum with two nice Black Drum at the north side cleaning table.
Photo four features year round inlet regular Tony Swiderski of Sebastian with a 20" Black Drum he landed off the north jetty using live shrimp.
