07-31-14 THURSDAY: SLOW BITE AT THE INLET
We have another beautiful summer morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 5 mph, gusting to 7 and there is a moderate chop on the water. The NOAA forecast is calling for 1' seas today, which is also the last day of lobster mini-season.
We received and update from Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who fished the north jetty yesterday morning and reported a very slow, hot morning. Arriving at the north jetty at 6:15 a.m., Mike had no problem securing greenies for the morning activities. Unfortunately, there were no activities! Out of 8 or 9 anglers, two people landed one Snapper each and that was all. Mike fished for three hours and left empty handed, which tells us that the fish just aren't biting, Mike rarely leaves without a fish. The hot weather affects the fish like it affects us; they get lethargic with the heat. The bite is usually better during the summer during low light periods or night time.
Shaun Vasey sent in our photo today. Shaun was fishing the south beach in the A.M. when he hooked up with this nice 36" C/R Snook. Shaun reported this fish was a lot of fun to catch on light tackle. After a quick photo, it was put back into the ocean and it swam off strong.
