10-23-14 THURSDAY/FRIDAY: JACKS AND MORE JACKS, SNOOK, SNAPPER, POMPANO AND BONEFISH
It has been a beautiful day at the inlet with plenty of fish biting. It is breezy and a little choppy and is predicted to pick up even more tonight. Friday may be rough but the fish should continue feeding. Many Jacks have been hooked on shrimp and are providing much action. Small Snook (12 to 14 inches) are being landed and released. The Snook are being caught by the Snapper fishermen who are also landing a fair amount of Mangrove Snapper. There are also a few Black Drum starting to show. Missing from the line-up are the feisty Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. They have been spotted around Fort Pierce Inlet and to the north of Cape Canaveral. Rumor has it that the Blues and Mackerel will start to show following the north winds on Friday and Saturday.
Why go to the Keys or Bahamas in search of Bonefish, Pompano and Permit when you can fish the flats around Sebastian Inlet? Late yesterday evening, Lindsay Rowland was testing her newly outfitted skiff on the backside of the inlet when she landed several Bonefish and two Pompano. Lindsay's friend, Steve Stewart also landed and released three beautiful juvenile Mutton Snapper on fly. See photos. The Sebastian Inlet may now be referred to as an exotic fishing destination!
