We have a very subtle change in the air, yesterday the heat wasn't nearly as stifling as it has been and today winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 9 mph, gusting to 11. There is a moderate chop on the water. Fall is around the corner and we are ready for it!
Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported seeing a few finger mullet in the water, which is always a good sign. There are plenty of greenies in the water and there is still a good Mangrove Snapper bite, one of the best Snapper bites we've seen in a long time these past couple of weeks. Snook are visible in the clear water but they remain finicky about what they will take. More oversized fish have been landed than in the slot, of course with such a small slot, it isn't easy! The slot is 28" - 32", one per person per day and you must have a Snook stamp on your fishing license if are lucky enough to get one in the slot and you plan to keep it. Blue Runners, Jacks and a few Spanish Mackerel have been darting around the inlet. We're seeing Speckled Trout on the flats, along with Blues, Jacks and Blue Runners.
Or first photo today is courtesy of Randy Wickens and is of Brendon Vaughn of Tilton, New Hampshire. Brendon was featured with a large Ladyfish earlier this week on the fishing report, but today's fish was the highlight of his visit. Brendon fished the north jetty and landed this 3' Tarpon just before sunrise, which was released unharmed.
Our second photo features David with a 6' 7" Black Tip Shark he landed Tuesday night using dead mullet. He and Jake Barker fished the inlet overnight and landed a 36" C/R Snook and a huge 49" Red.
