09-24-14 WEDNESDAY: MANGROVE SNAPPER, JACKS, BLUE RUNNERS AND TARPON
We had a real nice morning at the inlet before the deluge set in. We had a lot of cloud cover, a nice breeze and a decent Mangrove Snapper bite. Several of our inlet regulars landed their limits of Snapper. There were a couple of Snook hook-ups but none came over the rails. Blue Runners were darting around and Jacks were plentiful. Most anglers were using mojarra, mojarra chunks or greenies for the Snapper, although there were a few (not as many) finger mullet in the water. Looking north, Tarpon could be seen rolling in the surf and it was suspected by a few that they were in schools of mullet. No Reds were landed, but yesterday Dennis Campbell landed a 22" that he kept and an 18.5" that he released. Also yesterday Mike White of Sebastian landed a Snook that was 32.5", (ouch) it was returned to the water.
Our first photo today is courtesy of Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach and features Richard Pearce of Sebastian who landed this 20" slot Red on Monday.
Photo two was sent in by Matt St. Martin. Matt's dad landed this slot Red on Sunday using a clam.
