06-05-14 THURSDAY: JACKS AND WHITING
We have another beautiful day at the inlet. The wind is blowing out of the South-Southwest at 3 mph and there is a light chop on the water. We wish we had more to report, but the fishing has been very slow from both jetties, although Tommy Turowski of the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported a few Jacks came over the rails of the north jetty this morning. A few Whiting are being landed in the surf. Whiting run in the 1 - 2 lb. range, anything bigger than that and you've got something special, the world record is 2 lbs. 13 oz. for Southern Whiting. They can be fun to catch on light tackle using small pieces of shrimp or squid or small jigs and flies.
Our first photo is of a Southern Whiting, just in case you're wondering what they look like!
