01-11-16 MONDAY: BLACK DRUM, REDS, POMPANO, SHEEPSHEAD, BLUES, MACKEREL, TROUT, FLOUNDER AND JACKS
Break out the parkas and the wet suits, it finally feels like "winter". Winds are blowing out of the Northwest at 10 mph, gusting to 12 and there is a moderate chop on the water. The Northwest wind is pushing a decent size swell, which is good for our surfers but bad for our anglers, the waves are crashing over the jetties, wet weather gear is a good idea this morning. The bumps on the horizon are a good indicator that further south, around Palm Beach the surf should be very good. NOAA is calling for small craft to exercise caution in the Gulf Stream.
Over the weekend the bite was fair to good according to Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet District. Some good sized Flounder started to show up and several were landed along with big Black Drum, Pompano, Blues, Mackerel, Jacks, Reds, Sheepshead and Tarpon. Some C/R Snook are still hanging around the jetties but in smaller numbers, they have started heading for warmer waters in the river.
Our photo today is courtesy of Eddie Riveiro. Eddie took the photo of Dustyn Riveiro with a nice C/R Snook he landed, the fish was released unharmed.
