Sebastian Inlet Report

                                                   
MONDAY: SNOOK, JACKS, POMPANO, BLACK DRUM, BLUES AND FLOUNDER
A Red Snapper mini-season reopening has been approved!  The reopening is due to the inclement weather that hampered offshore fishing during the November mini-season and is scheduled for December 8 – 11.    There is a recreational bag limit of one per person per day with no minimum size limit, please check the FWC web site for commercial regulations.  The 2018 recreational mini-season dates have not yet been announced.
Winds are blowing out of East-northeast at 5 mph, gusting to 8 and there is a moderate chop on the water.  Last night’s super moon created extreme tides that will be lingering for a few days, it was gorgeous!  We have overcast skies over the inlet this morning with spotty rain.  We have a “cold front” forecasted for Wednesday evening but it could stall out before it reaches us.
Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported quite a few Snook, Pompano and Jacks came over the rails over the weekend.  A few Blues, Flounder and Black Drum showed up but not in huge numbers yet.  If we get a temperature drop and the water cools down a little more, we’ll start seeing more of those cold water species.
 Our angler of the day is Keisha Intorre of Melbourne.  Keisha had a fantastic day surf fishing just north of the inlet   She landed 5 Reds, 1 Black Drum, a slew of Catfish and this beautiful Pompano using live shrimp.  Fantastic catches Keisha!
