Sebastian Inlet Report


01-28-14 TUESDAY: SCATTERED BLUES, A FEW BLACK DRUM AND SHEEPSHEAD 

We have thick fog at the inlet this morning. Winds are blowing out of the South-Southwest at 3 mph and the water is calm. The NOAA forecast is calling for a small craft advisory tomorrow morning through Thursday afternoon. Even with the calm water today, things can change very quickly. Always check the NOAA forecast prior to venturing offshore. 

We received an update from one of our Sebastian Inlet District Commissioners, Capt. Michael Rowland who was fishing inshore on Sunday and reported the river was very clear, but not much was biting. Capt. Rowland then went out of the inlet and fished near the beach off the south jetty. Bluefish were hitting and they were landing them from the beach as well. 
Inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach fished the north jetty yesterday morning from 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and reported a slow start for the week. The water was clean and clear but he didn't even get a bite. There were two Black Drum caught, one Sheepshead and a few small Blues. Tony Swiderski of Sebastian landed a 29" C/R Snook while fishing a bottom rig with dead shrimp and clams, of all things! You never know what you'll get at the inlet or what you will catch it on. Tony released the Snook right after the photo.
