We have a lovely morning at the Sebastian Inlet. We have a nice breeze blowing out of the South at 7 mph, gusting to 9 and the water has a light chop. The NOAA forecast is predicting 2 - 3' seas this weekend with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Always re-check before venturing offshore as conditions can change very quickly.
We have mullet everywhere, although they aren't the finger mullet we usually see during the fall mullet run, this is a good sign that it has begun, woo-hoo! There have been C/R Snook, slot sized and oversized Reds, big Jacks, Tarpon and a few Mangrove Snapper making appearances at the inlet. Snook season will re-open on Monday, Sept. 1st. If you are fortunate enough to land one in the slot of 28" - 32" you will need a Snook stamp on your salt water fishing license if you plan on keeping it.
We received an update and our first two photos today from inlet regular Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach. Chuck fished the north jetty yesterday morning and confirmed the blankets of mullet around the inlet. The early morning hours brought Jacks, Ladyfish and Reds to our north jetty anglers.
Our first photo features Larry Robison of W. Melbourne with a 24" slot Red. Larry also landed a 27.5" Red that was returned to the water, both were landed on mullet. The bag limit is one per person per day; slot is 18" - 27".
Our next photo features Sonny Advincula of Kissimmee with some good sized Jacks he landed yesterday, he was also using mullet.
