Sebastian Inlet Report

04-24-14 THURSDAY: BLUES, JACKS, LADYFISH, REDS, BLACK DRUM, SPANISH MACKEREL, SEA TROUT AND SNOOK 

We have a stunning morning at the inlet. The wind is barely blowing out of the Southwest and an occasional gust will come through. You know what that means, no wind = no see 'ums, take insect repellent if you head to the inlet this morning. The wind is supposed to pick up this afternoon, which should help keep those pesky critters away.

We received an update from inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach. Mike reported it was a beautiful, but somewhat slow yesterday morning from 7:00 - noon. Tony Swiderski of Sebastian landed a nice 15" Pompano in the early morning hours using live shrimp. "Big Dave" Hartwell landed quite a few Lookdowns using very light tackle and small white jigs. Dave has a great technique worked out for catching these tasty fish. 8 - 10 Blues in the 2 - 3 lb. range were landed, Mike got two. Small Spanish Mackerel were being caught on live sardines under bobbers with 2 - 3' of wire leader. Two Black Drum came over the rails; both were 21' and caught on live shrimp.
