09-11-14 THURSDAY: MANGROVE SNAPPER, SNOOK, BLUE RUNNERS, TROUT AND JACKS
There's a little more breeze this morning than there's been all week, but it's not enough to keep the no see 'ums at bay, they are out and gnawing away at our anglers this morning! Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 6 mph, gusting to 8 and there is a moderate chop on the water.
Yesterday there was a good Mangrove Snapper bite according to Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach. Many anglers got their limits by free lining live shrimp. Greenies and mojarra and a few sardines were the live baits in the water but the mullet haven't been back since that preliminary run. One slot Snook came over rails in early a.m. by Dale of Long Point Park. Two oversized Snook were landed by Tony Swiderski of Sebastian, 34" and 38", an unidentified angler landed one that was 33". A few boats that were anchored near the north jetty hooked up with Snook but Mike didn't see any keepers. The water was clear and Snook, Blue Runners and Jacks were visible.
We received our photo from Donna Cortese of Sebastian. Donna and her husband Joe fished the Indian River Lagoon on the Northwest side of the inlet reported landing many Speckled Trout, but only two were slot sized, they were using shrimp and jigs for bait.
