Sebastian Inlet Report



03-22-12 THURSDAY: A FEW POMPANO, BLACK DRUM, WHITING AND SHEEPSHEAD 

It's another pretty morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southeast at 15 mph and the water is choppy. Forecasts are calling for potential rain, so go prepared if you head to the inlet. There is a small craft advisory for seas.

Yesterday morning was slow, windy and cloudy on the north jetty. The water was rough and lines were being tangled quite a bit. Everybody played nice and did the "untangle" dance with style and grace. It was obvious that a few folks had done that dance before. Pompano came over the rails in the largest numbers, although they were few and far between. A couple of Whiting, three good sized Black Drum, a couple of keeper Sheepshead and lots of small ones, and one big Jack came over the rails, but that was it for the morning. There wasn't one Snook bite, not even a nibble. The sun came out around 12:30 but it didn't seem to improve the fishing. Walton at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reported this morning there are a lot of small Sheepshead being caught and returned, but every now and then, a keeper will show up. So far it looks like a repeat from yesterday.

 Our first photo today is of Mike White of Sebastian  who landed his beautiful 31 3/4" Snook using shrimp on the end of the morning outgoing tide. 
 The other photo features Chris of Leesburg with a good sized Whiting he landed off the north jetty yesterday morning using clams.
