12-17-14 WEDNESDAY: BLACK DRUM, BLUES AND WHITING
We have a gorgeous morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Northwest at 4 mph, gusting to 9 and the water is calm with a light chop. White fluffy clouds, blue skies and low 60's make it a perfect day to get out and wet a line!
We received an update from inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who fished the north jetty yesterday morning. Those folks who were crowded down at the end of the north jetty were fishing for Black Drum as suspected. Mike reported and early Black Drum bite from 6:30 - 9:00 for anglers using shrimp and clams but after that, the bite dropped off. The tide was outgoing and the only other fish he saw come over the rails were a few Whiting, a couple of small Blues, Catfish and a couple of Sting Rays.
We know there are some Sheepshead, Reds, a few Flounder, Pompano and C/R Snook out there, there just weren't any landed yesterday morning.
Our first photo today features Bruce Brugman of Fort Lauderdale. Bruce travels to the inlet once a week to fish this time of year. Bruce landed this real nice Flounder using a 2/0 Tamer Octopus hook with a large greenie.
Photo two is of Dennis Campbell of Vero Beach. Dennis landed these two real nice Black Drum yesterday morning.
Photo three is of the "Drumline" on the north jetty. This photo shows how packed it can get this time of year, literally elbow to elbow!
