Sebastian Inlet Report

01-17-13 THURSDAY: WHITING, BLACK DRUM, BLUES, JACKS, POMPANO, SEA TROUT AND SHEEPSHEAD 

It's another beautiful morning at the Sebastian Inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 9 mph and the water is very calm, for now. The NOAA forecast has a small craft advisory posted for this afternoon through late Friday night. Apparently they are expecting the winds and waves to increase as the cool front moves in. Tonight temperatures are expected to drop into the 40's, but don't get excited, the cool front means we will be going to average temperatures here, highs in the 60's. Hopefully, that will be enough to get the fish invigorated; a change in weather pattern always seems to stirs things up a bit!

Yesterday, anglers were catching Whiting in the surf according to Tommy Turowski at the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop. Small Jacks, Blues, Black Drum, Sea Trout and Sheepshead are also in play. Yesterday we talked about Sheepshead and Blues. If you are targeting Black Drum, they are also crustacean lovers, as are Sheepshead. Cut squid will work as well. They are not known for lure-chasing, but will take one occasionally. 

Our angler of the day is Jose Dore of Palm Bay. Jose landed this real nice Black Drum off the north jetty. 

THE NORTH JETTY HAS REOPENED!
