04-21-14 MONDAY: FISHING IS SLOW
We have a blustery morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 15 mph and gusting to 20. The water is choppy, but clean. A small craft advisory is in effect through this afternoon. The NOAA forecast is predicting the wind to die down tomorrow.
We received an update from Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who is fishing the north jetty this morning. Mike arrived on the north jetty around 7:45, when two regulars had already called it quits; Diane Buyce and Chuck Fischer, they were tired of wasting time. Tony Swiderski of Sebastian landed a few good sized Jacks that he did not keep. Mike so far has landed three catfish and a sting ray, so fishing isn't all that great this morning. Mike reported a lot of Pelicans diving on mullet. Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported that over the weekend, it was about the same. Jacks, Ladyfish and Blues were active at night, and a few nice Trout were landed on the flats.
Our first photo today was sent in by Mitch Roffer of his nephew Seth Daudlin of Sterling, CT. Seth was fishing the T-Dock on the south side of the inlet when he landed his first fish ever, a rather large Checkered Puffer.
