04-02-15 THURSDAY: GOOD VARIETY OF SPECIES
We have another pretty morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North-Northwest at 6 mph, gusting to 7 and there is a light chop on the water. There are no NOAA advisories this morning.
There's a pretty good crowd out on the north jetty this morning. When the fishing picks up the word travels quickly. Fishing is getting better each day. We're seeing good numbers of Blues and Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Reds, Black Drum, Trout, Flounder and Pompano. There have been some silver mullet in the water and a few mojarra and greenies are starting to show up. We should start to see more and more schools of bait fish making their way in and out of the inlet soon.
Our first photo today is just incredible. This enormous Black Drum was landed by Eddie Cardinale off the north jetty. This monster weighed between 65 - 70 lbs.! The fish was landed on a 4" live blue crab with 30 lb. test on the outgoing tide. Eddie released it right after the photo.
Photo two features Josh Blackett of Palm Bay. Josh was shark fishing off the north jetty using an 18" bluefish when he hooked up with this big 44" C/R Red. He reported lots of Blues and some Spanish Mackerel were landed as the sun was setting.
Our last photo today features inlet regular Dave Hartwell with one of several good sized Sheepshead he landed off the north jetty.
