02-13-15 FRIDAY: A FEW SHEEPSHEAD, REDS AND TROUT
It's windy and cold out on the jetties this morning, winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 16 mph, gusting to 21 and the water is choppy. NOAA has issued a small craft advisory through late this evening.
This week has been hit or miss at the inlet which is typical for this time of year. Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported a slot Snook was landed off the north jetty this morning and big Reds were hitting lures on the outgoing tide yesterday. There's been some good sized Sheepshead landed, but not in huge numbers. Sheepshead are structure and crustacean lovers, shrimp, small crabs, sand fleas, clams or jigs tipped with those baits dropped near a piling, dock or similar will usually pan out.
Our angler of the day is Sherree Falls Thornbrough of Atlanta, GA. Sherree landed this big C/R Snook while fishing the beach just south of the south jetty. This was Sherree's first Snook and she released it unharmed to fight another day.
The Sebastian Inlet State Park will be hosting several workshops on "How to Surf Fish". The workshops will be from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m., meet at the Fishing Museum on the south side of the State Park. Take a pen and notepad for taking notes. Info on rod and reel selection, rigging, baits and more! The dates are on Saturday's, February 14th (take your sweetheart), March 14th and April 11th.
