Sebastian Inlet Report

09-30-14 TUESDAY: LOTS OF REDS, OVERSIZED AND SLOT SNOOK, JACKS, MANGROVE SNAPPER, BLUE RUNNERS, SPANISH MACKEREL AND TARPON It's another beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the West-Southwest at 5 mph, gusting to 8 and the water is calm. We have interesting cloud formations over the inlet with patches of blue sky. We expect another deluge late this afternoon like the one we experienced yesterday, but there is a chance of rain showers any time today. Go prepared if you head to the inlet. This is a great time of year to head to the inlet or go out on the flats near the inlet. The fall mullet run has brought in some nice predatory fish. Lots of Reds, slot sized and oversized are being landed, most anglers are using netted finger mullet but some are being landed on top water plugs. Snook of various sizes are active, as are Tarpon. Mangrove Snapper, big Jacks, Ladyfish, Blue Runners and Spanish Mackerel are all making appearances at the inlet. Tommy Turowksi at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported such a good Mackerel bite, that he sold out of Gotcha lures! Our first photo today features 13 year old Jake Wyrick of Clermont. Jake was fishing the north jetty on Friday when he landed this good sized Jack using a finger mullet. That sized Jack puts up a big, fun fight and we know Jake must have had a great time pulling it over the rails! Photo two is of Ian Alvear with a 28" C/R Redfish he landed Saturday off the north jetty. Ian was drifting a live mullet on the inlet side during the incoming tide when he landed the Red. The Red was released right after the photo. Ruddy of the Orlando was fishing with friends on Saturday and they landed some real nice Reds, Jacks and Snook. We have more photos of their fishing expedition coming later this week.
