It's a gorgeous morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Southwest at 5 mph, gusting to 7 and there is a light chop on the water. The NOAA forecast is calling for 1' seas today with a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms, but it looks like a perfect morning to get out and do a little lobster hunting. Mini-season is today and tomorrow. Regular season will begin August 6th through March 31st. Please take the proper tools for measuring and familiarize yourself with the FWC regulations. We've been seeing Mangrove Snapper, a few Mutton Snapper, Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, C/R Snook, Reds, Tarpon, a few Blue Runners, Margate and Permit. Fishing has been typical for summer, long lulls of nothing hitting and a few surprises along the way. The fish seem to be more active during the evenings and low light periods.
Our photo today is of Marcos Rivera of Kissimmee sent in this photo of a nice Tarpon he landed off the north jetty Monday night. Marcos was free lining live mojarra and reported this fish put up a great fight. She jumped out of the water numerous times trying to break loose but Marcos and his buddies were able to net her just before she straightened the hook. Sounds like a great fight! Right after the photo, Marcos released her to grow up to give another angler a good fight!
