05-22-15 FRIDAY: JACKS, SNOOK, REDS, SNAPPER, TROUT, TARPON, LOOKDOWNS, MARGATE
It's another lovely morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Northwest at 9 mph, gusting to 13 and the water is calm this morning. Our Memorial Day weekend looks like we'll have fairly good weather and decent seas for our offshore anglers, wave heights are predicted to increase some on Sunday.
Fishing remains hit or miss during the daylight hours; evenings and low light periods seem to be more productive for our inlet anglers. This week we've seen mostly large Jacks, oversized Snook and Reds, a small number of Mangrove and Mutton Snapper, Tarpon in the evenings, stragglers of Trout on the flats, Lookdowns and Margate. Anglers have been using live shrimp, mojarra, mullet, spoons and topwater plugs.
Our first photo today features five year old Kayden Stephens of Kissimmee. Kayden who fished Thursday night with her dad. While trying to catch bait to use, Kayden landed this 18" C/R Snook! What a great first inlet experience, now Jason can't go without her and we like that! Great job Kayden!
Bruce Johnson sent in our second photo. Bruce fished the flats around the inlet, just west of the bridge. Using a piece of shrimp, he landed this pretty Porkfish which is a good fighter for its size and Bruce said it was quite tasty!
Our third photo is courtesy of Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach. Mike fished the outgoing tide from 12:30 - 4:00 p.m. Mike only saw two fish landed during his time on the jetty. One was a Mangrove Snapper about 13" and the other is the 16.5" Mutton Snapper landed by Ta Pham in our third picture. Both snapper were landed on live shrimp. Mike was using 3 - 4" greenies and couldn't get a bite! An angler in a boat near the north jetty hooked up with one of the huge Goliath Groupers that lurk under the north jetty about 2:30 and was still playing the fish when Mike left at 4:00 p.m.!
Steven Santiago is featured in our fourth photo. Steven landed this huge Jack of Thursday night using a topwater plug. He's probably sitting on his cooler because he's spent after pulling that beast in for a photo.
