Sebastian Inlet Report

06-18-15 THURSDAY: C/R SNOOK, REDS, MANGROVE SNAPPER, PERMIT AND SPANISH MACKEREL 

We have another beautiful morning at the inlet. We have a little more wind this morning; it's blowing out of the Southeast at 7 mph, gusting to 9 which makes being out on the jetties a lot more pleasant. There is a light chop on the clear water, there are no NOAA advisories.

Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported that there are still quite a few greenies schooling around the jetties, a few silver mullet and mojarra can be found as well. Anglers using live shrimp and artificials in the evening hours have had good luck with C/R Snook and mostly oversized Reds. Crabs have been floating out of the inlet on the outgoing tides which are attracting some good sized Permit, particularly at night. Mangrove Snapper and Spanish Mackerel have been the draw for most anglers but the bite is only fair.

Our angler of the day is inlet regular Cory Luke. Cory confirmed the C/R Snook night bite with this monster he landed from the south jetty. Cory was using a plug to land this magnificent fish which was carefully released right after the photo. 


Free Kids' Fishing Clinic promises day of learning, fun 

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will offer a free Kids' Fishing Clinic for children between the ages of 5 and 15 from 9 a.m. to noon June 27 at Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal No. 3, 2020 Christopher Columbus Drive.

This free clinic enables young people to learn the basics of environmental stewardship, fishing ethics, angling skills and safety. In addition, environmental displays will offer participants a unique chance to experience Florida's marine life firsthand.

Fishing equipment and bait are provided for kids to use during the clinic, but organizers encourage children who own fishing tackle to bring it. A limited number of rods and reels will be given away to participants upon completion of the clinic.

Individuals or companies interested in helping sponsor this event or volunteering at the clinic should contact Eric Griggs at 321-986-7596 or the FWC's Jason Dalton at 850-487-0554.
