02-27-15 FRIDAY: SLOW ACTION
We thought spring was right around the corner, but it doesn't feel like it today. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 17 mph, gusting to 25 and it's chilly out on the jetties. The skies are gray and cloudy and it's expected to stay that way throughout the day. NOAA has issued a small craft advisory for winds in effect this evening and a small craft advisory this evening through Sunday evening. It looks like our boaters will probably stay at the dock this weekend.
We are still experiencing a slow bite at the inlet. A smattering of Snook, Reds, Blues, Pompano, Black Drum, Sheepshead and Trout are making sporadic appearances but overall, luck is playing a big part. The first two hours of the incoming or outgoing tide seem to be the most productive. We spoke with Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop and he did get some live shrimp delivered yesterday. Shrimp were scarce earlier this week due to the cold weather.
Our first photo today is courtesy of Pete Ghirghi of Winter Park. Pete sent in this photo of his 17 year old son, Nick who landed this beautiful Redfish on a chilly February night last year. This nice Red hit a live shrimp and was quickly released unharmed to fight another day.
