05-20-15 WEDNESDAY: REDS, SNOOK, JACKS, AND STRAGGLERS OF OTHER SPECIES
We have a beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the West-Southwest at 6 mph, gusting to 10 and the water is calm. Winds may increase this afternoon and we have a chance of a thunderstorm this evening. We have quite a bit of seaweed and drift algae in the water tangling lines.
There still isn't a whole lot of activity at the inlet. Oversized Snook and Reds and large Jacks have dominated the catches but they've been few a far between. Stragglers of Black Drum, Spadefish, Margate, Spots and Mangrove Snapper have made appearances as well.
Apparently, some information on yesterday's report was misconstrued by at least one reader. The FWC report clearly stated that the boat was "fishing" not "navigating" the inlet. Navigating the inlet is always the number one priority of the District and the purpose of the jetties. The purpose of putting the FWC report on the web site was to encourage civility from both boaters and jetty anglers. Since there are no FWC regulations on where one can fish after they've safely navigated the inlet, common sense and courtesy should prevail.
Our first photo today is courtesy of Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach. Chuck took the photo of inlet regular Tony Swiderski of Sebastian in morning around 5:00 a.m. Tony was using live shrimp to land this pretty, oversized Red which was released unharmed right after the photo.
